And Excaliber, if I read the other forum and see who is talking immature I see they are almost all +18.
Because history repeats itself?
We need another forum, because it would cause people to complain less (happy!) and would keep the normal forums clean. It would actually make your job easier.

You define yourself as a kid?
Children would not be allowed to access it, this would only be for the older and more mature users.

This game is NOT for adults only,
No, but there are some, enough that if you cater to them, you can imprive your game, and increase the depth of your targeted market
Quote:
and this game is mainly what these forums are for.
But there is a ngrt, and it alone is just as (or more) active than the other forums.

Ugh, I get so tired of explaining this over and over to the same people/person!!
Me too!
If only you'd listen to simple reason and business sense.

Also, no one said when access was removed from the lounge, it could not be reversed, it can at our discresion, if the person shows they can be mature enough......eventually.
Lol, never.
You'll never restore access to me, simply because of our history, and your outward dislike of me. Let's face it, you don't like me, and so my access will never return. THIS is why clear cut rules are needed.

This thread is only an excuse to stir up trouble.....again :/
No, it was made to change and repair graal. To offer Unix a way to continue to make money, (or start), appeal to a larger market, and keep the forums clean.
Quote:
This will not happen.
Well, you haven't istened to common sense yet!

Exactly....
You're acting pretty immature for a 41 year old

Btw, just so you know, most people consider me a nice guy (too nice in fact), and very mature and helpful for my age.
Just an example, I got a community service scholarship for one of the schools I was looking at. It was all voluntary work, all of it.
I also help my friends with their homework, or to stand up straight when they (not me) have had too much to drink.
I participate in the political process, and make educated decisions.
Normally that shows some maturity and responsibility, but of course, you're too blindsided at the moment to notice these things about me. Instead you assume I'm causing trouble instead of trying to help out.

Need I remind you of The Lounge description?

"This forum is a private forum. Having agreed to the conditions of this forum, your access to this can be revoked at the discretion of the moderators."

It doesn't really matter to us what good you do outside of the forums, because that is not the basis for the moderation's judgement on your behaviour inside the forums.

So, why not do us all a favour and stop causing so much trouble inside the forums?

No, but I am adult enough to understand that Graal is geared towards a much younger userbase, and I accept the rules accordingly.

The lounge has already proven there are not enough members that fit what you want either by age or by maturity.

As I have said before, my like or dislike for a person has nothing to do with my job. I base what I do on the rules, and when someone constantly causes trouble, they tend to stay in trouble. Pretty simple.

You act like the majority of Graal members are adults. Not true.

I tend to, as an adult, accept rules that the forum owner has placed, and accept that he had good reasons for placing them, afterall they are not my forums. These are not the only forums I am signed up for, and I dont always agree with the rules in place, but I can accept them because they belong to someone else. If I cannot accept the rules, then I simply do not post on those forums. Really, it is that simple.

But why not appeal to a larger market?
Also, its been proven that it's mostly older (above 18) people frequenting these forums.

By you're great standard

Oh, so you're a robot?
It was according to the rules that I never got a PM warning, or at least told that I was breaking a non existant rule?
Quote:

That you helped make.
I've noticed the rules leave a lot to the moderator. Lets face it, the rules give you a lot of power
Quote:
and when someone constantly causes trouble
Hey, what I say wouldn't cause any trouble if you treated my oppinion as that of an educated customer
Quote:
, they tend to stay in trouble. Pretty simple.
They don't like the rules, or at least how they're enforced, see a better way, and because of this, get biased results.
Quote:

Just the majority of people here

He's obviously doing something wrong, he should be turning over a good profit from graal, but it seems as though he isn't. Maybe he.....doing it wrong?

Do me a favor Excaliber, read your replies especially to Darlene, and tell me if you think, they are abrasive or nice.

This is something I dont get in my head: why people cannot try to talk with respect to each other. Sometimes it happens to be a little abrasive, okay, but it seems to me that people do it very often here. Irl they would never talk to somebody else in this way, I am sure.
