New rule system is going through approval with all staff as we speak.
We are all communicating a lot better recently, honestly the staff hasn't been this cohesive in a very long time.

Just so you know, Meister2's IP corresponds to Jaydee's main IP... There seems to be something there.

no, there is nothing to add to that, hence why i wonder you guys are posting offtopic.

and TRB, we don't need backseat moderating. we take care of stuff, if you have something to report use the report post function.
Who's "we" exactly? Cuz the way I see it, Kill and Craaig don't do diddly squat anymore, and all you do is bash newbies and mute people you don't like.

Yes, we are all working together to work on a new rule system, we have new, fast ways to communicate between moderators, and Trov is busting his ass on reworking the forums.

You know nothing of what's happening.
Then y'all need more transparency cuz just claiming that you're all secretly working hard doesn't mean you actually are, and from our end, it looks like either nothing gets done or it gets done in the most autistic way possible.
Transparency isn't necessarily needed. It's not really secret, more like people don't really need to know about these developments until they are set in stone. They also needn't tell us that they've got some more ways to communicate, that'd just be a pointless post/topic. And, evidence of Trov working very hard is very much present. He's been online a lot more, lately, and there's already been reform in the changing on the Tournaments section of the forum.

That's what I mean though. Y'all have supposedly been working on a new rules system for over a year now. You'd think you were writing the Constitution or something.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

Where have you gotten that impression? I don't even think the rule system Kill put in place was more than a year ago. The current new rule implementation is a very fairly new development.

Yeah, conversations began then and quickly dropped off because our communication level was admittedly awful. Over the last few weeks we've really kicked everything into gear and there's a fair few changes being worked on for both rules and forum format due over the next few weeks.

Cleaned this thread up. No more drama or backseat moderating from anyone or warnings and/or mutes will be issued.

Meister has been banned and other verbal warnings have been issued.

Regarding language-

What about me those of us who spell it differently to avoid it being censored?

I mean, I say fuk/fukking/etc, but I never use it as an insult/with a negative tone

I'd say thats okay, 'cause it doesn't affect SEO score, right? I mean, I could be wrong, but that's my logic.

Or we could just use weird robotic-combat related references to body parts . . .

I'd like to request a comprehensive list of things I can and cannot say.

can I say wizard sleeve? beef curtains?
scientific terms such as hymen? mammogram?
Words that are not inherently filthy such as dingleberry? nubbin?
leaving this space blank until RA3 is released.
