Maybe there should be one official edition war thread where everyone can duke it out all they want while the ban stays in effect for the rest of the boards. Heck...edition war threads almost deserve their own sub-forum. It would at least give people a place to speak their minds without trampling all over the other forums.

If that's all you want we have a whole different forum for that sort of thing

Isn't making that statement technically a violation of the no wars rule?

I hope not, but the point I was trying to make is that it's just two different frameworks for accomplishing much the same thing. While we all have an opinion on which one achieves its purpose better or worse than the other(s), and those opinions are valid. Having arguments where people are emotinally invested can lead to a much more negative atmosphere on these boards.

I think the ban on edition wars is a good idea. I don't see this one resolving itself like it did when 3rd edition was released. There are too many people who feel strongly that one game is superior or inferior to the other, and that the people who like the other are mentally deficient and shouldn't be allowed to breathe the same air.

I think that as a community, ENWorld should embrace diversity! Half of the community wants to play 4E and the other half would rather immerse themselves in pretty graphics and fast moving combat when they play an MMO. There's nothing wrong with that! Continuing to bicker about it and flame each other over their preference is counter-productive. The schizm exists and will continue to exist. I'm happy that there are a number of players who play a range of games. That's good for the hobby.

What made you think they stopped?

There are probably three or four threads around which are little more than thinly veiled edition wars with a number containing pretty blatant war baiting.

I think that if you read my post carefully, you'll see that I agree with you.

Ha! Well, I find the moderation there pretty heavy-handed. I might be biased, though; I have a lifetime ban there for reporting Cessa for a conduct violation.

Amen. I have a lifetime ban for being the victim of a gang up by 3 blatant CoC violators.

Gotta love RPGnet. Just be sure that if you're going to participate in edition wars that you are the one blatantly violating the CoC, as you'll only get the occasional mild public reprimand (ohh, torture

). Because if you're not, then you're the one being attacked, and when you make one accidental misstep (like simply calling one of your attackers a "jerk"), you'll be permabanned.

Huh. All I got out of it was that you'd been dropped on your head as a child.

I was replying to the OP, yours was just the post before mine...

Speaking of which. . . IIRC, I think that discussing of policy at other forums is against the rules here (or, at least, that's what I've been told in the past).
