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.

Need Help- Who do I go to?
I am in a game where it will not let me convoy or do any orders related to the convoy (like support). I keep getting script errors and it says that my orders are incomplete. I have eight hours until the next turn and I am super close to nabbing the win. Does anyone know who I would ask for help?

FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST, THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, I'M FREE AT LAST! I would like to thank my lawyer, SYnapse, for his tireless efforts on my behalf. The check is in the mail. I would also like to thank my PR firm of Nigee, Baby, and Partners for doing their best to defend my public image.

I would like everyone to know that my jailers treated me fairly. I was well fed and the cot wasn't too stiff (Thanks Draug for the recent donation, I think it went towards the silencing jail accomodations). I happened to be cellmates with blankflag. He wanted me to send greetings from the inside. He has been on a hunger strike for 11 days now, and at first I thought the malnutrition had made him loopy. He kept saying that the elites and the bankers were out to get him. Then I remembered that's how he always was.

Seriously, I have to say that considering the reaon I enjoy the forum so much is all of the drama and controversy, today has been one of the most entertaining days, and I haven't even been able to comment. For the record, as I was writing my post last night, I knew there was a chance I could get silenced, and I did it anyway. Some things just need to be said. I actually thought, "8 hours I'll be sleeping, 9 hours I'll be working or travelling to/from work, so it's like 7 hours that I can't post". I did the cost-benefit analysis and decided it was worth it. I think jmo did what he had to do considering the warning he gave, and that +1 he got for silencing me, was from me. I think I laughed for about 5 minutes after seeing that post from him. Good stuff!

@minty, ill never ignore you previous post when in it you call me funny and clever.

I hope some of the new timers actually followed my thread link so you can see that not much has changed in over 4 years. The forum has always been like this.

And for the record, I didn't make a cheating accusation, I made a multiple account accusation being clear that I didn't thing the purpose was for cheating since landowner isn't in any games. That's not to my defence, as I understood at the time that that was covered by the warning, I just wanted to make it clear.

"And for the record, I didn't make a cheating accusation, I made a multiple account accusation being clear that I didn't thing the purpose was for cheating since landowner isn't in any games."

I think you make a pretty good point here. I always thought that "cheating accusation" referred specifically to games. Creating multiple accounts is against the rules but not really *cheating* unless you use them in the same game.

To be honest I have never been *that* offended by cheating accusations. I think the truth tends to prevail anyway, as 8 times out of 10 the accuser, often a newbie, has the flimsiest of reasons, and this is usually pointed out to him by about 10 other members. Thus in the grand scheme of things I don't think anyone's name is really sullied for longer than a few hours.

The thing I don't like about cheating accusations in the forum is in the old days there used to me so many cheating accusation threads in the forum and they became tiresome to read. Thus I agree that we shouldn't make cheating accusations in the forum. Plus the accuser often makes a fool of himself.

But in the case of hypothetical old members returning to the forum, and hypothetically giving hints to their identity, and then a hypothetical someone says "hey aren't you that guy that used to play here who claimed to be an aeronautics professor" - is this really a cheating accusation? Is the sort of thing the rule was originally intended to prevent?

Spot on again Spyman, basically jmo was ready to silence anyone who posted after him, he had an itchy trigger finger, if you make a threat and then don't carry it out people might start to think you are weak .... thankfully they get it right on the big issues but on this one IMHO they got it wrong.

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?
