Who else visits the "official forum"?

Well, I thought I knew the rules, quite well...that's why it is so galling. It was news to me that public questioning of forum rules and challenging inappropriate moderator actions were prohibited.

Perhaps there was some other rule I violated. I wouldn't know, since they didn't actually bother to cite the grounds for the banning...seems pretty obvious, though.

But, like you said, I don't like that sort of self-serving rule, so I probably shouldn't go there (assuming I could). Still irritating, though...

I appreciate your support Caraolus but please dont get drawn in. I aint responding as this isnt my forum and I am sure the Mods here do not want the hassle from another forum

I do! I do!

But I mostly lurk now. I used to post when EU 1 was released.

[Grumbold]

I've not frequented the EU site much lately because there wasn't much point after I'd said everything I wanted to say about what should improve in making EU2. Since then I've just been tapping my feet waiting for a UK release date and reading players commentary on the list of outstanding issues and interesting events. If I'd known it was going to take this long I think I would have gone for an import copy. Not long now

I'll fix that asap.


I don't want to touch that topic with a 50 foot pole UD. Don't worry.



I recognize u MacTBone, or at least I think I do.

[DarkCloud]

I am there too but I havent' posted in a while... I reached 200 posts in about 10 days then ceased posting

[grumbler]

Yep, been there, got the T-shirt. Now posting here just to see what my rank, et al is, since I haven't posted for months.

[Rictus]

Yep, I'm here as well. What do you mean, you dont know me? *grumbles*

A couple of other peoples here, including Maur13. It goes both ways, since Simple Girl is on both sites.

Hey, Carolus

Sorry I can no longer share your opinion. I have some quite different adjectives in mind.

As for the "bashing", if you'll read back in this thread, it was the Duck who came here advertising his utopian fora. I'm simply clarifying, for would be visitors, that posts they consider reasonable and appropriate may be perceived quite differently on the Paradox fora. Visitors should know that inconsistent, capricious reactions are possible if they engage in even mild criticism of moderator mistakes and actions.

"Inconsistent and capricious" accurately describe some of their moderators, but UD has not been either of those.

Certainly he is far from the worst over there. Nor did I perceive him in a negative light, at all, until my recent unpleasant experience.

But the banning was highly capricious, especially since I didn't violate any actual forum rules. Formerly, he would rarely go beyond warning people who did actually violate rules. So my banning strikes me as "inconsistent", also, even if he can assert there was some violation.

Perhaps he was just having a bad day...Perhaps he'll be more careful in the future...Perhaps he's intentionally introducing more draconian policies...who knows...

I post there occasionally. My login is actually pretty old - pre European EU1 release
