Forum Moderation and Muting
For the past few years abge and the mod team have been asking members to tell us what you wanted moderation wise. More than anything we have asked you to email Kestas if you do not agree with site policy. Not a single person EVER has emailed him asking for more forum moderation.

JMO Chastisement Thread
JMO, having now been seen as naughty in the eyes of the community, has thus earned public chastisement. Please chastise JMO here:

BAD!! BAD JMO! Bad, naughty, JMO! I think it's time for a spanking...

Damn it, krellin, you beat me to it! Lol!

JMO, you should consider this the minor chastisement from me. What you did would have been fine had mapleturd been able to mute you, but with great power comes great responsibility.

I am without sin. I have not committed the sin of abusing my non existent mod powers and threatening to harass someone who can't mute me.

@ KingCyrus: jmo stated his intention to publically harass another user. Conduct quite unbefitting a mod of his previous good character.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
10 Jun 14 UTC
Oh good lord, do we really have to get all "moral high ground" every time a mod slips up? jamie you know I see eye to eye with you on most issues, but just get over it man.
Draugnar (0 DX)
10 Jun 14 UTC
Jamie was just telling KingC what happened. I think we are all over it now. But it was a bit of a deal considering we can't mute mods, making that threat potentially unbearable to anyone. I had you muted. I have maplelaugh muted. But if a mod decided to harass me, I couldn't mute them.

That said, jmo had a reason for threatening that (I don't believe he ever intended to carry it out) and that was to make the same point I am making, but to get people complaining to Kestas about it. It worked. I commend him in the end for it.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
10 Jun 14 UTC
I suppose, I guess i just didn't like how I perceived the tone. I also agree with you both, in principle, that mods have a higher standard, I just don't care enough to get all outraged about it.
Draugnar (0 DX)
10 Jun 14 UTC
^and that is why JMO did it. He wanted people to get outraged and write Kestas. You do a disservice to the site and the community when you "just don't care enough".

@ YJ - as Draug said, I was just answering the question. Blame krellin for starting this idiotic thread.
Draugnar (0 DX)

Even krellin will admit it was in fun. He is actually a supporter of JMO.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
10 Jun 14 UTC
Well, Draug, from my conversation with jmo, I don't think that's really the case. I would post the PM here, but I'll continue my tradition of dis-serving the community by not giving enough of a fuck to do so :)
Draugnar (0 DX)
10 Jun 14 UTC
I had my own chat with JMO and what I indicate here is what I got from it. So one of us was deceived by JMO or is outright lying. I may have been deceived, but I'm not lying.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
10 Jun 14 UTC
Actually, I reread what he told me and it is consistent with what you are saying. Quite likely I misunderstood him the first time.

I muted all the threads about mapleleaf and it's like all the drama he's causing vanished. Fascinating how well that worked. (I guess I didn't mute this thread. That would be weird muting your own thread though.)

The poo maple
As I was cleaning my mapleleaf, I discovered it was covered in poo. I got it all over my shorts. When I checked if it did happen, I got it all over my hands. I've washed them 3 times and they still smell like maplepoo.

Please advise.

Maplepoo Donations
Since it is quite evident to all that Maplepoo it yet another Canadian that really wishes he weren't, and he has obvious jealousy issue with the US - his desired dwelling place, but that his criminal record (or some such thing) is preventing him from becoming a US citizen, and thus he has taken to rather amusing constant stream of America bashing to try to soothe his saddened soul....let's take up a collection and send old maplepoo the biggest US flag we can find.

Hey gang. Having spent the last week in hospital, I'm back. Hopefully that was the last operation I'll need. Going to need to spend the next few weeks healing, but that'll give me plenty of time to join some games. Thanks very much to abgemacht for sitting my account for the last week.

An Idea for World Games
Most of my recent games have been World, and I've found that once you get 20+ units, the list of orders can become quite unwieldy. Since you develop different "fronts" involving different sets of units, it'd be really cool to be able to arrange my own units to I could keep all of my South American guerrillas separate from my Mongolian hordes (Inner and regular). Would this be simple/worthwhile to incorporate?
