Londo Mollari Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 From now on, Athens members are forbidden to use the appeal to force in discourse on these venues. This essentially means that saying "bring it" or "do something about it" will not be tolerated as a means of communication. Violations of this which are brought to my attention will result in a 1 month posting ban on the OWF. Violations of the posting ban will result in expulsion. We are doing this in an effort to improve the quality of discourse in this venue, and it is our hope that all alliances will similarly restrain themselves. Actual discussions are better than threats the vast majority of the time, and we are going to do our part to improve the standard of discourse here. Thanks.

AlmightyGrub Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 This is a good move forwards that we should all embrace whole-heartedly. I commit Polaris to a similar standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
