  • To the other owner (whose name I do not recall) and the mods of poly

    Please convince his imperial majesty known as Robert the Plomp or Cybershy to lessen censorship in this fair land.


    If he refuses, then join our cause in open revolt! Simply because we are not a democracy does not mean the will of the posters is not to be heeded. The posters are the most important part of apolyton!

      The OT should have been your jurisdiction to begin with, this is a violation of common poly law.

        I noticed that We Play Civ has crashed. I wonder how long it will take them to get it back up.

            What censorship?

            I see a poster calling the new admin names openly, and they remained unbanned...

            I can imagine how long that would fly on CFC - I got warned over my avatar there.

            Just an observation...

                The only mod currently awake doesn't have the ability to ban people so he's been deleting threads, merging threads, and making appeals to common decency.

                    The short answer is, this aint CFC.


                    I rarely post at CFC (and only on topic) because I've never liked the ambience there. If Poly becomes like CFC then there will be no reason to stay here.

                      Hmmm... what I see are a bunch of people playing the ole game of "let's push the limits and then we can complain and laugh when any action is taken or not taken"

                      It's actually kind of funny that all you guys are doing is hurting yourselves...

                      I have to give the new management credit for originally leaving the old rules in place, and at first, turning a blind eye to the expected childish games. I guess they hoped that people would settle down when posters saw that the Nazi Storm Troopers weren't coming to Poly. But now the posters are forcing the new owners hand. What a stupid game.

                      You should be happy they took the approach of leaving things the same... instead, you might be forcing them into the action that none of you wanted in the first place.

                      I thought some of you were smarter than that.

                      Good luck to the new management and mods.

                        They've been fair with me thus far. I inadvertently broke a rule but came to an amicable resolution to the matter. The Dead Pool is still unlocked.

                        I'm good with things.

                          You know what? We don't give a rat's ass how CFC does anything.
                          If you like CFC so well, run home to it.

                            Hence why I post here.

                            The KGB moderation was an additional downside.

                            And all the good posters had left years ago anyway.

                              Turn off the hostility, pal. There is no need for it.
