It's not polite forum etiquette.

1) Edit Button. Push it. There is no excuse to ever post 2 things in a row without someone replying.
2) Blah blah blah some bloody diatribe that everyone is aware is your clever way of attempting to bitch because one of your topics was locked. Cry me a freaking river.
3) You won't change anything. Deal with it or leave.
4) There is no 4.
1) Making multiple posts is a way to split up your long talks into smaller, more easily readable points. I know many (me being one) people who don't like reading very long posts. Even if it is a long post is split into multiple smaller posts, I would rather read that then a long one.

2) His topic was locked with very little discussion. That is kind of rude and doesn't need to happen. We can very easily let a thread die on its own, instead of forcing it.

3) What do you think this thread is about? He's trying to get people to think about this, and possibly cause change.

4) I noticed.
I just want to say thanks for taking the time to read it and understand I am trying to improve the way in which the forums and game operate; for the the benefit of players and moderators alike.

That's because you have the attention span of a gnat. The rules of the forums are very clear, and we won't just turn them off because you claim to have ADD.

There were two topics about it. The fact that after the first one was forcefully locked and he just ignored the mod's decision and remade the topic clearly shows he doesn't respect the mods. The fact that you agree that you can just ignore a mod's action whenever you feel it's convenient is nothing short of disgusting.

Actively attempting to undermine the authority of the forums will never help the forums. Don't be a twat.

I do not choose to do it like this - honestly. My computer for some reason will not let me do it in one large text block. If it did allow me to, I would as it is much easier for me too. But please don't overlook the message within the thread because of the way it is presented. That really is not the important thing to take away from this.

This is what LordRamuthra is trying to change. Topics shouldn't be locked based on only one person's opinions. They should remain free to the public, allowing speculation and discussion to be further carried out. I get when they'll lock a long dead thread when someone refuses to stop posting, but, until then, I'd say to let it stay unlocked.

You are advocating that users should be able to pick and choose what rules to follow. Are you daft or just stupid?

Nah, theirs nothing wrong with current way of doings things. They earned the position so I think they know what they're doing.

I believe you.
My comment was more toward dragoncrystal.

As for my opinion...
Proof is highly valued in these forums. It's the king of the highlands.
You may have deduced what happened in the fight but #4 was full of "if"s.

There is no proof that it happened and the mods are not private investigators.
Therefore the discussion is over.

Lightbulbs, why are you so annoyed? I just want to help. You may not agree with the way I do things, which is fair enough, but it isn't fair to tell me that questioning mods is wrong. Forum mods, Ingame mods and Admins are all human. They may have more freedom to make decisions and control the server, but everybody's opinion in my view is of equal importance. In the same way I do not respect the rank of an Army General because of his uniform, but respect him because of his wisdom and experience; I do not respect the admins and mods for their titles, but for their opinions. However I respect the opinion of a little old lady from Shillington (a small village in the countryside somewhere), just as much as the General, because she has just as much wisdom as the General, but not necessarilly in the same areas. I think that everyone on the forums and game should understand that every individual has a unique set of qualities, and a mix of inputs into a discussion with new viewpoints only strengthens the arguments, providing them with depth and meaning. It helps create a community on here which does not work like a dictatorship, but like a democracy in order for order. Consider my words before posting a comment about how I should have used the edit button please, it is more polite.

In all the cases I have seen on this and the Minecraft forums, grammar will always come first...

You cannot avoid it.

grammar as in the way you... spell / act / make a post / use basic grammar.
