Has the policy of CC management and volunteers to punish those that say things more harshly, than those that break the rules ruined the tenor of the General Discussion fora?
It seems like every other day a "player"(a use the term loosely) with a funny coloured user name cheats. Maybe cheating is to strong, lets say takes advantage of existing loopholes. Acts completely outside the spirit of robust competition. Strange and frequent coincidences like having games deleted that they were likely to lose points in. Acting like humourless pricks towards paying members, then when called on bad/abusive behaviour suggesting/stating was a joke. Locks threads without owning the lock, or threads are locked with a vague off topic post, then a refusal to provide further information.
Sadly being a mod is a thankless task, so just like politics would appear that on a volunteer run site people become mods for the usual reasons. Power tripping, petty authority, self importance, not capable of playing. I'm not saying all mods and volunteers are venal douchebags. In fact most mods/funny coloured user named people are doing a great job under trying circumstances. Just a significant minority are making all look bad. I'm not naming or calling any individuals on their bad behaviour. As that would just get this discussion shut down using a flimsy flaming excuse. So lets talk in broad terms not specifics please people.
NB
If any fuckhead(would take a fuckhead to lock this) locks this. At least have the decency to be accountable and state clearly A) Who is doing the locking B) Why you are stifling discussion in the discussion fora C) Please give a detailed explanation including specific quoting of rules, and your interpretations of rules, in the hope that we the community may have some consistency in moderating.
but I for sure think that there is an abuse of power.
