Dude, you are doing the replying-to-the-thread thing again.

I think I am not allowed to advertise them or anything, I was just giving an example of a forum with much less scrupulous moderation.

I do it a lot. You pointing it out isn't going to encourage me to do it any less :P

I have browsed a lot of forums over my internet life and the moderation on these are by far the most strict and annoying.

Can I be like Darlene and twist was is and isn't off topic? This is all on topic, it regards the blogs and the posting of them

No, it is not, it quickly went into ranting and raving about the moderation in general.

Yes it is, it is in complete regards to keeping the blogs in line.

Of all the forum posts I've ever made, I would say 88 percent were on these forums, 3 percent on the Valikorlian forums, 3 percent on the Elder Scrolls forums, and the last 6 percent on 20 other different places.

I don't get around the forum scene too much obviously.

I highly doubt Darlene forwards complaints about Darlene to Unixmad.

I figure people would forward their complaints to Unixmad themselves.

Unix doesn't care. I've sent him things regarding forum moderation, Anti-etc related things, and a lot of other things he may actually be interested in. He has never once acknowledged anything I've sent him.

He didn't even reply to me when I questioned him about my support ticket regarding him practically stealing my money being ignored for, what, a month

Unixmad's lack of communication makes me doubt he listens to anything that doesn't come from a mod.

Alright, this thread is not about me, and my moderation. I have already stated that the blogs will be moderated like the forums, unless unixmad states otherwise. I'm not going to argue the rules further.

I hope that some people can get some use from the blogs, be it for playerworld news, or whatever.

No one is arguing the rules.
We're simply discussing them, and how they'll effect blogging.

Seeing as this topic is about the new blogs, I think it's very appropriate to discuss something as important as the rules.

So I see the navigation bar at the top is getting cluttered... How about removing:
- members list
- FAQ
- Calender

And maybe adding a link to the rules up there?

What kind of forums user does not have the rules memorised, or at least bookmarked and always open in a separate window

Why can't we have a members list again?

You can trivially get one by checking the calendar for everybody's birthday
