Yes, you see, Delteria's part of the graalian population is mostly sane. The rest are from UN and other servers that have no clue how to act properly. It is mostly the players fault why this happenes, but the mods should be doing more instead of just closing the threads.

Brad, how did you go from being an idiot, to not being an idiot, and now back to being an idiot.

Brad, most those ideas were cool except spi's unbanning. yeah he was funny for a while, until it's level up stupidity exceeded that of funniness...

Well, the mods seem to either not realise that arguments are now what keeps the forums alive, or they wish to change that.

I think they overlook arguing up to a point as long as it stays decent and doesnt get too bad, but how many arguing threads have you seen that didnt end up a bashing fest...very darn few

In no way does money = quality. We are talking about quality of the playerbase. These forums could be alive and jumping and full of people if the players didn't break rules and stuff.

Just because there are more players won't make the quality any better. No one is stopping new players from coming in. We are only removing old players that bring down the quality of the forums.

I don't understand why those people who don't want to pay think the quantity of players is such a big deal. "Omg Graal sux now cus there is barely anyone playing, make it free so more people will play and it will b fun!"

Just a while ago I could have sworn most people were saying 2k1 was getting too crowded and they wished it was a small tightnit community again.

By quality, I mean server/support quality, aka how you get paid, and how unix keeps the servers up to play on.

You still don't get my point. ;(
I know there are alot of players who like to bash and flame, but then the mod steps in, and deletes their post, and if the thread starter caused it by the first post, delete the thread.

Small tight community to me is 20 people or so, not the 8 I see on (half of which are staff and their rc)

So, what do we do with the magical close button?

Let it sit unused while we delete threads that may have decent content in them?

Woo.

You just don't get your job as a moderator do you? You just don't sit there and move threads and close them. Oh no, you got a lot more you should be doing. If you don't delete posts, what else are you doing? Basically nothing besides moving threads to the right forum.

You just spelled out everything I usually do, which is all that my job title entails.

I moderate.
