Laughs?

Hello guys!:)

Why not? The people in any social setting that deserve the greatest scrutiny are the people who are enforcing the rules. If they enforce good rules consistently then things run smoothly. If they lapse in judgement things go to Hell. And the only feedback they get on what kind of job they're doing for us is our cheers and jeers. Based on the number of replies to sanctions saying "Yay! Burn Tau-31 to the ground!" it seems they're doing a good job overall smile.gif

Well, my point is, I've already expressed that I didn't approve some of the sanctions in some threads, so as I've already did it I think there was no need to start one thread to say *again* my opinion about the admins actions. But yes, let me say I approve like 80%-90% of the sanctions but a few ones I think too excessive and abusive.

I think there was more to the incident than just "hehe"... that was just the culmination of a bunch of OORP activity by that person.

After reading the member opinions of this thread, certainly yes!;)

But it's all starting to sound like my swearing thread.... people are getting concerned that behaviour that would be considered reasonable and acceptable, is gonna be punished swiftly and without recourse. No matter if you have $3m or $300m, it'll all be taken away.

Yes that's exactly my feeling. Specially that I've already said on my welcome section that the rules need to be a little more clear about some things...

And no the admins aren't infallible... they are human (last time I checked). The current clampdown seems harsh to, but unfortunately with the recent rash of idiots, harsh measures are called for. So yes things are touchy at the mo.

Yup that's my opinion too. No question that they need to make harsh measures, but it makes some people afraid of doing anything to break the rules, specially someone new to the server, even having 4-5 years of RP experience in another games.


As for the overall smileys, some people do use helmets and yes it becomes tougher to see their expression. So, I STILL think that the tone of the voice is what most counts to see if someone is happy or angry. BUT...anyway I completely agree with:

I don't use smileys but I'm not against others using them within the context. And I never report anyone for it unless it goes completely oorp. I like Discovery, so let's not turn it into rat battlefield where it's not RP and PvP that matters but reporting on each other, as I've seen a great deal of that kind of behavior lately. /shakes-head /sad-panda-mode

It's NOT that only because I'm against smileys that I will think that people using smileys are out-of-RP and need to be reported. This is a "fine-tune" and frankly yes RP needs to be a little flexible. Just like someone may think it's out-of-rp to use *smiling* instead of:D. It doesn't mean that only because I do not agree with the idea I'm going to OOC lecture or report someone...it would be a very stupid reason to!;)
