Father of four beaten to death by police as he begged for his life
http://www.inquisitr.com/658427/david-sal-silva-man-beaten-by-police-died-begging-for-his-life/

Can one of you radical pro-government types explain to me why the police need to seize all the cell phone video and keep it out of the hands of the public?

Does webDiplomacy keep statistics on how many times each country wins on its site?
I was just wondering whether these statistics are kept, and if they are, what it might show about bias towards a particular country.

What if the mods just listed the other banned accounts' names/ids on a banned users profiles. I'm not talking about listing any accounts that the mods may have allowed to continue, just the others banned at the same time for multi or metagaming.

Since I registered a couple of days ago, a certain moderator has taken an exceptional interest in my account. As I communicated to said moderator, I was impressed with this attention to detail and more than happy to oblige his requests for information. After several e-mails back and forth, our exchange concluded cordially--or so I thought.
Today, I woke up to an email stating that my failure to respond to the previous email would result in docked points. This is particularly bizarre given that the previous email didn't contain any questions, or anything meriting a response beyond "OK."
I am interested in hearing your thoughts on whether this type of behaviour is acceptable/desirable practice for welcoming new users.

Dear Mr. Lan Downer,

The mods are working hard to keep all of us safe and keep the site clean. Something about your account or IP address must have piqued their interest. Once you have been here for a while, you will appreciate the fact that they are doing their job so well. So don't take offense to it, answer their questions, and if you have nothing to hide, everything will work out fine.

Mr. Downer, may you have a long and illustrious career on our great site.

Sincerely,

Mapu

Hi "dipplayer2004",

I can't recall President Obama making any such statement. Perhaps you could enlighten me. In any case, if he were to make such a statement, it would be one more reason to disapprove of his presidency, and one more reason not to have voted for him last fall.

Hi "Mapu",
As I mentioned, I did answer the moderator's questions.

8. You must answer communication from site staff
You must answer any warnings or other messages sent to you by the moderators, because if you don't reply it will be assumed you have something to hide, and your account may be closed. As part of this, you must make sure that the email address provided is one you still check, because this normally how staff will communicate with you.

@Landowner, rather than freaking out, how about realizing that we are all human (or most of us are anyway) and that there may have been some miscommunication on one or the other or both sides.

You believe there wasn't any more response necessary. The mods apparently do. So why not just find out what more they are looking for? Is it more fun to go on a public rant?

Mr. Landowner,

If true, your allegations are in fact most serious. Please accept this apology on behalf of myself and the other players here. Thank you for bringing this to our intention.

Be it known, however, that this sort of an error on the part of the staff is somewhat of a rarity. Most of us are free to enjoy both the video games here as well as discussion forums, usually without interference from the staff. On rare occasions when I interact with the staff they are usually quite friendly.

Sorry for the trouble, and best of luck to you.

Mr. Landowner,

It is amazing that you have seamlessly blended in to this community so fast. From waxing eloquently on old players that you miss to navigating how to call out the mods on the forum, I am duly impressed as to how quickly you have picked up our little nuances. Well done, sir. You either pick up things quicker than the usual new player or you are a (comment redacted to avoid breaking forum rules). Either way, well done.

The Mods sometimes do things that seem a little draconian and unnecessary (like docking points from somebody that has his points automatically rounded up to 100)
They are after you, they don't like your type round these parts, you could be trouble.

Landowner, the mods aren't stupid, and either are we. It is clear that you are NOT cheating, but it's also clear that you are familiar with the site and players on the site going back farther than 4 days ago.

Maybe you created an account to get around a silencing - it's happened before. Or maybe you forgot your password, so you created a new account. Or maybe you recently bought some land, and you think your new name more accurately reflects your position in life rather than "renter", or "tenant"?

Whatever the case, just come clean so we can get a good laugh out of it, and the mods will just ban the account you no longer want to use. Sicarius had another account under his real name at one point, as did sioraf. Both were resolved without incident

Hell, I even created another account once called "lnvictus" (lowercase L instead of an uppercase i) just to fuck with Invictus on a thread about multis - before it was a silencing offence (threadID=367649). figlesquidge promptly banned that account after we all got a good laugh out of it. You do remember figle, right landowner?

Calvin Coolidge
It seems that no one recognizes the good that Coolidge did. He was a pure capitalist, which means he lowered taxes (to 1.125% on the lowest bracket), and he cut spending drastically. All this led to the greatest boom in American history. Unfortunately, his successor raised taxes to outrageous levels (63% on the top bracket), and began spending more. All this led to the worst depression in US history, though FDR prolonged it. So why doesnt anyone give Coolidge credit?
