I'm gonna Rel Por this guy in the ass, then just An Lor Xen That sounds like tough talk to someone who doesn't play UO, but when translated... I'm gonna Teleport away, then just hide with Invisibility.

What baffles me is that you'd think a mod would read the thread and think, "Well, if we delete the whole thing then we'll just be proving our remaining believers wrong and besides, only a few of these posts are even remotely worthy of being considered for moderation," but instead they just Vas Ort Flam the entire thread regardless. It's like they're not even trying to be subtle, sacrificing inscrutability with current customers to save face with future customers. That's exactly what I thought. The fact that they would be allowing people to address the moderation on the forums would at least make it appear they weren't moderating everything. Maybe those mods are just trolling Port, because I cannot imagine a better way to alienate people than deleting their posts completely unnecessarily making their defenders feel, if not look, like fools. They could have just locked it with a note saying they didn't want further discussion on the topic and left all those defenses up. Nah, sounds like a real dumb idea, lets just make liars and idiots out of a few fans defending us.

No doubt. A thread full of people saying they don't over moderate gets deleted. It could not be more perfect This is the second or third thread about moderation that has been deleted since KS. With every additional thread wipe, people like Jodizzle awaken to the reality that their assumptions... are completely false. What baffles me is that you'd think a mod would read the thread and think, "Well, if we delete the whole thing then we'll just be proving our remaining believers wrong and besides, only a few of these posts are even remotely worthy of being considered for moderation," but instead they just Vas Ort Flam the entire thread regardless. It's like they're not even trying to be subtle, sacrificing inscrutability with current customers to save face with future customers. You see, the problem is, short memory. Not enough people will see it, remember it, save it, expose others to it. Starr pretty much said it himself in that one interview where he talked about how he deals with toxic community members.

Love that it says 'preferably without direct dev assistance' as if he might otherwise need direct dev assistance. I wonder how many of the 250 PoT owners or thousands of homeowners might ask for direct dev assistance should they require a fix for the house/town they paid real money for, no different than Winfield.

And it looks like some idiot is still pretending to be me. Wouldn't be surprised if it was actually just Templara talking to himself.
Getting a little dull now tbh.

MordecaiDude its not like they care. I mean, WHO is gonna notice? And who the fuck are you? You don't even have a twitter. Who are you gonna tell, and what they gonna do? Exactly, nothing. No reason to care about subtlety. I agree with the second paragraph...this one tho...what do you suggest? The world itself is polazired. You're preaching some liberal stuff. What's the point? Everything is polarized from the start. You got carebears and you got people who enjoy MMORPGing. You can't merge those.

Mordecai
I don't really have any reason to register here. I'm not into the whole Portalarium/SotA bashing.......If I disagree with something that is done then I say so on the official forums.......equally If something happens that I particularly agree with I will also mention it.
Whilst I am sympathetic towards certain things that have happend/changed that are highly frustrating; I have no desire to move into a forum that sadly has created a reputation (deservingly from reading posts) of being abusive and insulting towards individuals.
Why people want to post on this forum as me is anyones guess.

Your arrogance blinds you Master Smoker. Indeed. That thread is not only filled with whiny homosexual cockless carebears, but also with people making unfounded statements: Btw, not many talk about it, but one of the major flaws of UO was that the world was too small for such a huge amount of players. Especially when there was not Lost Lands, Ilshenar etc. Ilshenar, god what a horrible land expansion. But the lands were too small for the player base.

Memories... wasnt anything special tho. Just lads filled with monsters to kill. To me tho, it was special.. You're a sad boring flower, Envy.

Well, all of it is right here for you to read and you can make your own decisions. Isn't that a fucking new experience compared to that Den of Terror over on SotA forum with everything all nice and tidy just how Starr likes it.

I think Envy just claims it's not him. He probably got spanked by Daddy Port and was told to behave or get banned.

I've seen WAY TOO MANY people do a 180 on the SotA forums, which I can only assume means they got a spanking. New guild idea: Spineless Pussies, could quickly become the largest guild in SotA.

Good ninja post. It's the pot calling the kettle. Players, customers, didn't ruin UO. You can't blame customers for how they enjoy their products, else you're powerless to address community issues. If you try to, you'll only divide players into polarized groups (that often end up hating each other). Casual and hardcore partisans both fall into this trap, failing to attribute just weight (just as in justice¹) to the systems and mechanics that combine with a given player to produce a player's actions. The responsibility to maintain the game world falls to the game staff. It is their financial responsibility to balance the game according to players' interactions with it. This means punishing murderers, rewarding virtuous behavior, and balancing the economic viability of PKing against other means of resource gathering. If you try to control players, or try to cut out certain types of players, you're left with Mortal Online, Everquest, Felucca, and Trammel. What made UO stand out from these games (or facets), was that it contained players of all kinds, making the world feel mysterious and alive. ¹ You were right Templar. I concede that English sucks. Oh, I don't know. I think game designers have to expect they will encounter the dregs of society. They either cater to the dregs or shut them out. I think when they designed UO, they had no wider world view of how people behave when they're anonymous. Now they know. Lesson learned. If a game is going to be fun for the non-dregs, they cannot tolerate the dregs. It ruins their game. So someone has to suffer. It's going to be one side or the other. The real problem, for me, comes when dregs expect the non-dregs to stay in the world so they can use them for their own sense of thrills. It's not thrilling to the non-dregs. Personally, I think using people is just messed up. Seriously. If people want to PvP consensually, that's great. And I know people like templara here, love to prey on non-consensuals. But who wants to pay money to play a game, only to be preyed on? A person has to look at all sides. And finally, wtf is up with guys wanting to be "manly" and kill everyone and everything to demonstrate their dominance? Haven't adults evolved beyond that? I saw that in a 15 year old mentality, but men that are in their 30s and beyond?
