I know it's more vanilla that way, but my site is geared toward gaming rookies as well as 'net veterans, and I don't trust myself to control my ranting if I were to get started.<BR/><BR/>But, yeah, rpg.net's done a lot of things as of late I'm really displeased with. I'm glad some folks are calling 'em on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-1141596499320156312006-03-05T16:08:00.000-06:002006-03-05T16:08:00.000-06:00Huh, I didn't know Zach was an RPGnet hater.

Usually, when I look at the archives,<BR/>I find nothing related to their query, and sometimes <BR/>not even MAHQ, or some of the other gundam<BR/>boards or fansites have anything. Since I joined on <BR/>for scratchbuilding information for items that<BR/>don't exist in the real world, that sort of shit is frustrating.<BR/><BR/>Just wanted to let you know this crap is endemic.Intruder_Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08322242036586961094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-1141454650270429012006-03-04T00:44:00.000-06:002006-03-04T00:44:00.000-06:00Yeah, some days are like that.

But what else out there fills that (intended) function?<BR/><BR/>But yes, I thought it was total nonsense. It was a reminder to folks, nothing more. It's shocking what now evidently constitutes a personal or group attack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-1141454176622284042006-03-04T00:36:00.000-06:002006-03-04T00:36:00.000-06:00Thanks for backing me up, Zachary.

I'm reminded by your presence that I've meant to put RPGblog.org into my bloglines list.<BR/><BR/>I tried visiting EN World for a little non-RPGnet message board fun, but the very first thread I hit contained someone snarking on whiny RPGnetters complaining about how hard running d20 is. Seems I can't win for losing today.Jeff Rientshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493878980535235896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-1141453817698323952006-03-04T00:30:00.000-06:002006-03-04T00:30:00.000-06:00They've gone pretty fucking police-state, haven't ...They've gone pretty fucking police-state, haven't they?<BR/><BR/>Perhaps it would be shorter to list the topics that <I>won't</I> be grounds for a warning or banning. I can think of two:<BR/><BR/>1) Congrats threads to new mods, saying how bloody wonderful they'll be.<BR/><BR/>2) How wonderful the Borg, Nobilis, or both are. Also Weapons of the Gods. That is all.<BR/><BR/>I thought it was about the least offensive thread I've seen, and actually served a friggin' purpose.

What is the crap, pre-emptive modding? The mod might as well have said "As far as we can tell no one broke the rules, but we just wanted to remind you that we're out here watching your every damn move."
