That's it! Muting Dip33.

Go ahead. I could catch all the tolls, i know how they work.

The tolls? We aren't on a highway crossing PA or going around Chicago here.

I would be a great forum mod. I would do what the people requested. Ban TC if voted (J/K, sorry TC)

<*shakes head*>

@D33 - When I wrote in PM that people had come to expect certain things from me and you should try the same, I meant to continue being remorseless and unrepentant for your crimes against Diplomacy and I meant it in jest! I didn't mean to go back to begging and pleading to become a mod. Geez.

I agree about the rules.

The problem is, we have a number of vague rules (such as "Responsibilities and Rule 9), that are impossible to enforce and rarely mentioned. Clearly, there was a situation in which a mod thought these needed to be brought up, but I agree it would be better if we had a more established way of dealing with those rules.

@D33

Speaking as a player, and not a mod, you're making no friends with your persistent nonsense.

"The tolls? We aren't on a highway crossing PA or going around Chicago here."

LOL

Draug, didn't you hear? If you pay 1,000 , you can cross through Switzerland.

Only 993 more points to go until I get that special Swiss freeway installed in all my games! Woot!

"Just make me forum mod. I would do it. :)"
This is what I was talking about, you are not helping your case with the community at all right now, this is the reason people are condemning you and asking for you to be banned. You are never going to to be able to play with the top players here or join any tournaments if you keep this crap up, just do yourself a favor and stop while you're behind.

I already bought it. But here is the unforgiving swiss army to deal with. THey have real swiss army knives.

Don't laugh at those little gems of knives. I know 20 ways to kill a man with one should my KA-BAR not be at hand.

Do any of the ways involve the tweezers?

If you can jam them far enough up the other guys nose... ;-)

I can succeed by using the one with a flash drive in it, using only the flash drive :P

"@jmo: "***I think that the points deduction on the part of the mods worked great!"

Unfortunately, this breaks down into punishing people in games for stuff done in the forum. It's apples and oranges. Plus someone with 50,000 wouldn't mind a fine of 100 , and someone with less than 100 doesn't mind, cause they can get it replenished... "

I would argue that the punishment is suitable. Docking points for spamming the forum would be wrong. But the parties being punished brought game issues to the forum, so punishing them with a game based punishment is perfectly acceptable. the borught it across so they should expect to recieve a cross platform punishment.

That said, the punishment need to be appropriate to discourage the action. A fixed point amount means nothing, but a percentage based punishment (of total or available points) could be a better discouragment. Say half of the players total points not to exceed available points and reserving the right to make it exceed available by punishing them over time or with a negative balance in certain egrgious cases. Therefore someone like me couldn't get away with it because he only had 7 . Instead, he would have a negative effective points and have to win/draw some games just to get back to zero available points.
