Hey Admin!!!

A lord may indeed rule his hall as he sees fit, for it is his house. Yet even a lord is judged by how he treats those who enter his court in good faith. To silence discourse simply because one dislikes its substance is not the mark of just stewardship. Nay — tis the mark of a petty tyrant.

“I do not step shyly back from your property, but look upon it always as my property, in which I respect nothing. Pray do the like with what you call my property!”

I don't know what blogging platform cool kids like you are using these days, but Dreamwidth is right there. I'm writing about Darkover, for Evarra's sake, and nobody bothers me.

What’s more concerning is how complacent everyone seems to be with this kind of moderation. I’ve seen this before. I’ve seen the caustic affect of a small clique controlling the discussion, bolstered by heavy-handed moderation that slowly pushes people away. That forum doesn’t exist anymore.

Moderator note:
As others have noted, EN World's forums have been around for decades now with mostly the same rules, so please pardon us if we do not share you concerns about our impending demise.

As a new poster, you might do well to review the site rules. They are linked at the bottom of every forum page, so they aren't hard to find.

Of special note is the fact that the staff will not discuss specific acts of moderation in public. If you have an issue with how a moderator handled something, you can take it up with them via our Private Messaging feature.

Since this thread runs contrary to that policy, I'll close it now.
