Why are things the way they are?

[Closed Threads]

Don't push me...

 

[William Ronald]

I have moderated myself from time to time, realizing that I have to try to be considerate of others. Remember, people with differing opinions want the same respect for their opinions that you want for yours.

I actually recall one of the threads where someone was banned. Banning should be a last resort.

There is another benefit to leaving closed threads up. People can look at them and realize that something they posted hurt someone. I think we should try to be friendly and respectful towards each other at EN World. Regardless of our personal beliefs, our tastes in gaming, or where we live, I believe that what unites us as human beings is ultimately more important than what divides us. So, remember when you do disagree with someone that the poster you disagree with generally wants the same things you want: respect and consideration.

I just wanted to mention that I find it amazing how nice things are here. I was completely burned out on message boards before I came here, but this place reinvigorated me. I spend a lot of time here, and I virtually never regret it by people being rude or upsetting. This place is marvelous in that regard.

Wizards boards.

Yikes.

I find I usually learn something new every week in the Rules Forum here.

Browsing the WotC forums, I can feel myself growing more ignorant...

Eech.

I got Banned. Just look at my Avatar!

I keep wanting to post over there, but I'm afraid someone will beat me up and take my lunch money!

Give it a try.

Nowadays, there's no flaming outside of the Angry Chair.

I got Banned. Just look at my Avatar!

"I was banned and all I got is this lousy avatar!"

Well, banning is something I try to avoid as much as possible. Since I started running the boards, I've only banned two people,

/me waves

Seriously though, I've never been a prolific poster, as my postcount attests, but past troubles are the main reason I don't post much anymore. I've been playing more 2e lately, so I don't have much to add to discussions, and I have this annoying habit of getting twitchy and replying to things that rub me the wrong way in ways that just make the situation worse.

Be glad the admins don't take out hard feelings by banning and deleting. It happens elsewhere. You have to be a real PITA to get the ban here. Once was enough for me, it's not too cool, take my word for it.

I hear ya. When Blackshirt5 is delaying our gaming sessions by looking at some innane topic on some other board like RPG.net or the Wizards forums, or the other hellholes he posts on.....I remember why I like EN world so much.


I see spells of green, red cantrips too
I see them go boom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful EN world

I see threads of blue and posts of white
The bright blessed mods, the dark F^)&@#* trolls
And I think to myself, what a wonderful ENworld

The colorsprays of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also striking faces of people going by
I see mods checkin' posts, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I'll lock you"

I hear newbies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful EN world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful EN world
