Circus Maximus Recruiting

[Dimwhit]

I've been a community supporter here as long as that option has been available. And I've been a member of CM since the first day it was opened for business. I have no intention of leaving EN World until they unplug the server, and I feel the same way about the Circvs.

The two places serve different purposes for me, but I love 'em both. Competition? I just don't see it. Two faces of the same coin, more like.

I'm just there because Buttercup is there.

For me, EnWorld is where I go to have geeky rules discussions with my fellow gamers - kind of like the rules discussions one gets into around the gaming table. On CM I discuss with my fellow gamers things that are totally unrelated to gaming, like politics, religions, the weather, whatever - kind of like the conversations one gets involved around the gaming table waiting for everyone to show up, or after the game, or during a dinner break.

The point, IMHO, is not one of language filters or who's Modding who, but simply keeping discussions on topic.

ENWorld and CM are like the USA and France- they are allies and friends, but some Americans like to poke some Frenchmen in the eye, and some Frenchmen like to make fun of and disparage American culture.

Eh, as has been alluded to, you'll receive back what you give. This is very true in the lightly moderated forums of the Circvs. I am constantly entertained by people who face life with nothing but spite and vinegar and then complain when life doesn't give them roses in return.

Ironically, it's pretty true that ENWorld is all but self-moderating. It's amazing that we can moderate the volume of posts with the handful of moderators we have--most of our work seems to be killing spam.

Heavy-handed? Not really, but you have to remember that there are different rules for different places even in the real world. One does not use the same language at Grandma's house that they use in their friends' basements. Just think of this as Grandma's house.

Heh. I wrote about 4 responses to this and erased each of them as being too hostile.
Suffice to say, I think the relationship between Enworld and CM is a lot more cordial than that.

Edit: You should have written five! What you wrote wasn't okay, and I'm surprised you thought it was. Derogative racial and national epithets aren't tolerated here. - Piratecat

Although you might want to discuss them at this place .
