Ah man this shits hilarious, at this rate the escapist isn't going to have any posters left!
Do your worst mods, you've successfully killed your own forum by being anally retentive.
I call on all escapists to post in this thread! We can just make new accounts anyway and troll the place to high heaven. Freedom!
I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING!
Everyone on the site, post, post, post! I despise the moderation on the escapist. Which sucks because their official content is so good.
What's up with the probation thing? I can understand warning the user privately, but why the public "PROBATION" sign? It's like, look at this pathetic user who DARES go out of line! This is what will happen to you!
The moderation on this website is unfair and over-controlling in so many ways. You'll turn your members into mindless zombies who have to carefully, slowly plan out every single word they say in fear of getting in trouble.
What's even worse is that TE thinks they're so humorous and free-spirited about it. By jokingly calling it "mod wrath". Oh, hardy hardy har! See? These people are actually really nice and funny. Oh and by the way saying anything that could possibly offend someone will incite them to publicly humiliate you in any way you can.
It's not just here, either. 90% of websites have out-of-whack moderation, and I'm sick of it. The free'er you make your land, the more naturally, culturally enforced rules and standards take control. It's much better that way.
There's really nothing good about these forums. It seems every post is either a rage-inducing political debate, trying to discredit someone said about your Country/race/culture, or something that will get you probed.
