Re: I bring you the word of peace.

The diplomacy forum has its own special rules which are to be followed. Please cease your current posting activities and abide by the forum rules otherwise we will take further action.

You may find the rules here: http://forum.meleegaming.com/diplomacy/important-diplomacy-forum-rules/

Regards,
The Melee Gaming Team.
for posting
birdclan best clan. Add flying to cRPG.
in GODKING_PARTYBOY_BIRDs birdclan thread... ...whoever is in charge of randomly harassing anyone who posts in the diplomacy section please resign.
Yes, we need another one of these threads.
Oh, and if you look at that thread, like 95% of the posters are warned due to some fascist trying to undermine our civil discussion of adding flying to cRPG in a diplomatic manner.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

I posted a video for BIRD CLAN to represent me sending a bard to sing to all the factions in Calradia. I got a 20% warning for that, even though the song was on topic and harmless in every-way.

I got a 15% warning for demeaning this guy: http://forum.meleegaming.com/general-discussion/admin-professionialism-check/


Judging by these numbers: posting any kind of rallying song or warcry in the diplomacy thread is worse than harassment and insulting others.

Edit: Not only that, there is a thread with a particular forum user who posted 10-11 insulting gifs/videos in the diplomacy forums, but removed it a day later because of the outrage from other forum users. So that person has a lot of blank posts or "removed because it was a video/gif/etc", but they were never even warned once for that.

the idea is apparnently to make everyone stop posting in diplomacy unless you are a registered official cRPG/Strategus Diplomatic Official only posting essential treaty details while roleplaying in full larp costume at your computer desk. 

no seriously, they'd rather have no one posting in there then anyone having fun at all.  every good poster who plays strat is now muted or 40 percent warning level, one post away from being muted again.  the rules are as bad as somethingawful, but at least somethingawful bans people to make money from reregisters.  hell just look at every poster in this thead, all WARNED.  the bird clan thread was especially striking because it was 3 pages of EVERY PERSON with a warning level or muted. 

either way congratulations on needlessly turning diplomacy, one of the highlights of the strategus experience, into a No-Fun-Zone.  I don't see why it should just be moderated like the rest.. don't IRL insult people, don't post porn, try to stay on topic, just common sense.  Yet the past few weeks common sense has flown out the window by moderators there, alienating countless players and discouraging any actual entertaining discussion about Strat politics and situations. 

You are doing a job no one asked you to do and no one wants to see done, phantom moderator, except spergy trolls like Tears of Destiny.
My posting is like a katana folded 1000 times to perfection.. and the community is what keeps the edge sharp.. and bloody.  -  Me.

The diplomacy thread certainly needs some moderator to watch over it, but it's being run way to strictly. I rather enjoy the trollish way of making people RP, mostly because I did that with Neverwinter Nights. I'm super nerd, yo. But half of the things people are getting warned are undeserved. Look at Tanken, I'm pretty sure he got muted because he posted a family guy video about bird songs. How is that right?

I really wish I could know who the person that is doing this is, because I have a big problem with this system that is currently in place for the diplomacy thread. I don't want to harass or insult these moderators, I just want to know who they are so I can least know who I need to lose respect for and who is doing their job fairly.

Yes, tonight I speak only image language. (And still fail at it)
On a more serious note, adding a note of WHO warns us, and which rule we EXACTLY break...
Now THAT would've been nice. :)

I got a warning for saying /thread a few weeks ago.


Yet, I posted a vid about 3 months ago in diplomacy and got no warning.


Anyways, good to see them cracking down on it I guess, I was starting to think diplomacy board was more for propaganda and slander more than anything else.

How I got 20% warning

For a 3 second video used to answer a question asked. Is it because the internet video is an anachronism in Calradia? Was I supposed to talk in character and be like, "Malaclypse the Younger, 37th scribe of Stratia, regards Berenger quizzically- he speaks, 'I think this link should answer your question' and scrawls out an URL in the dirt at their feet."

 I vote, for realism sake, we move the diplomacy section to one cork posting board in the middle of Africa.

Only thing so far.

I've never been warned there, I think it is fine, honestly. There are other forums or ways to post in the usual ways that this community is so fond of, when the Diplomacy rules first came out it was this strict anyways, though with 5% warnings. I think once people re-adjust it will be fine again.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

You just need to create copies of the threads in Off-Topic or Spam and then you can get away with it. Abandon the diplomacy threads and use the new ''copies'' so to speak instead.

Proof of point.  With the way we're going, the only people who will still be posting in Diplomacy will be people like Tears.
