[QUOTE="mudbunny, post: 5804633, member: 56746"] Bored at work, so thought I would jump in as well. (Note, also not a moderator.) It is OK to say "I hate X", but don't expect a whole lot of responses to that. Also, you need to be careful of the thread in which you drop that little bomb. If you drop "I hate d12s" in a thread devoted to discussing how much people like d12s has the very real possibility of you getting a warning for threadcrapping. (See number 5 below for further details.) Mostly user-driven reports, however the mods also participate in the threads as well. I have no idea, however if you get pegged as a problem user, it will only be after you have received numerous, numerous warnings and/or temporary thread vacations. Depends on the context. There are some discussions that are close enough to the edge that the mods will pre-emptively post a warning that "the next person to cross the line gets a vacation from the thread." However, that is rare. As i mentioned above, thread vacations usually only happen after a warning in thread about behaviour. ENWorld has a reputation as having a population which can discuss the advantages of BECMI vs 4E without edition warring getting in the way. They can discuss the impact of video games released in the late 90s, early 2000s on the mechanics and conceits of 4E without insinuations of immaturity and other rudeness getting thrown around. A place where people can discuss why they like 4E without people jumping into the thread and dropping comments of "$E is for those who can't count". People, when they take part in a discussion, are expected to post contributions to a thread. They are expected to be polite. And if you can't be polite, don't post. I have a great deal of experience on the WotC forums, and I would say that the moderation here is much stricter here than there. And that is a good thing. The community is also less tolerant of douche-baggery. Whereas on the WotC forum, a lot of people just ignore things that cross the COC and do not report them, I have the suspicion here that it is the opposite. Above all, follow Wheaton's rule. [/QUOTE]
