I think this thread makes it's point clear with the cherry picking since for some reason this thread is still not closed yet it's discussing bans and forum rules and all sorts of "illegal" things.
Yet someone makes a harmless joke towards somebody else and it ends up in 12 replies in a row being pruned. Are the mods afraid of closing this in fear that their forum reputation will sink even lower?
Do your jobs right. That's all anyone here is asking. If you're gonna go overkill on harmless threads then you better go overkill on everything (like this thread). But better yet, why don't you stop going overkill on threads all together and just deal with threads/posts that are ACTUALLY OFFENSIVE and breaking serious rules.
edit: basically just make up your minds already. I think most players here would agree with me when I say that we are tired of having the forums moderated differently every other day simple because a mod decides to have a different outlook on life for a day. None of this one day you're a free spirit and letting people get away with posts like this, and another day you're a hardened communist leader who isn't allowing the simplest of free speech.
