SuperSoldier has been banned. I saw his post in Kitsune's thread, which you have removed. I did not think it was that bad at all and the word "stupid" could have been replaced with another I agree, but wow.
I do not think you realize just how much anger the players have against you all right now and banning us for being passionate about your game seems hardly the way to smooth things over. I ask that you step back and look at things from our side and understand why this has been happening.
Our corps are shriveling up, you force us to operated them from the tiniest of windows taking all the fun away.
Passion leads to emotional comments. Please reinstate Super. Wendy as well.
You have forced players to react this way. Please keep that in mind. |

I suppor this. Its not right to ban people for no reasons. Especially when no clear rules are posted anywhere thats easy to see, and theres no way to know how LONG you'll be banned for. Make one mistake and kiss the forum and chatroom good bye indefintly |

Super and Homer showed me how to play not to mention others in my feds.... not the out dated documentation. Ive been a paying member for over a year because of players like these two. GM please don't banned and chase some of the best players in the game out. |
| Andy | Sunday, April 22, 2012 - 12:24 pm
Homerdome,
This is not the US of A.
This is a private company. We developed a game with its own rules.
None of them is free speech.
Being here for two years you know exactly how it works.
If anyone breaks our rules he will not have an opportunity to do it again. |
| Christopher Michael Thompson | Sunday, April 22, 2012 - 05:53 pm
That's crap. How many times have you let Wendy come back after being banned?? (No slam to Wendy intended). |
| Xyooj | Sunday, May 13, 2012 - 10:34 am
this is a game, i'm new but i don't understand the restrictions either.
without players, what fun is there in this game?
be like any other game, create the game and let the players play the game.
being a dictator is no fun for others in the game, can we create a happy family of members in here?  |

My Question is by removing our comments/threads when we never mentioned hate/vulagar/race speech but our own opinions a crime?
In my comment "I" never mentioned a name of a person or used a type of speech. I implied a lack of intelligence foresight on an update with no hate/vulgar/race base slurs.
Didnt the GM commit an illegal activity that is protected by all nations as part of the UN Human rights act that is/has to be supported in all nations/companies?
Andy pretty much said they where above the law... hmmmm
The middle of this article is my favorite
(UN human rights article is below)
The right to freedom of expression is recognized as a human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Article 19 of the ICCPR states that "[e]veryone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference" and "everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice". Article 19 goes on to say that the exercise of these rights carries "special duties and responsibilities" and may "therefore be subject to certain restrictions" when necessary "[f]or respect of the rights or reputation of others" or "[f]or the protection of national security or of public order (order public), or of public health or morals". |

Well then i might be wrong OR AM I!!!
Freedom of information (or information freedom) refers to the protection of the right to freedom of expression with regard to the Internet and information technology. Freedom of information may also concern censorship in an information technology context, i.e. the ability to access Web content, without censorship or restrictions.
Also in UN law a person cannot be denied access to public infomation, and has the write to review any action online as so long as its not break a law. It also later states that anytime a group makes changes to public info a notification must be sent to all involved. Meaning each time a tweak on SC is made, wither it covertly or publicly it just be told as this is a company providing a service to the public. If W3C wishes id be happy to play laywer for them and find some info on payment/charges/standards for providing services not rendered
Lastly
Freedom of information may also refer to the right to privacy in the context of the Internet and information technology. As with the right to freedom of expression, the right to privacy is a recognised human right and freedom of information acts as an extension to this right.[2] Lastly, freedom of information can include opposition to patents, copyrights or intellectual property in general.
If i post my idea on how to improve SC aslong as its not illegal/breaking rules i can post my dislike "of it being a review of the current situation" which is not only freedom of speech but a sperate unmentioned freedom in the terms and agreements being again.
They still commiting illegal acts becuase they only mentioned 1 freedom not the many. And if they choose to change it they must provide a new terms and agreements in order for it to be valid |
| Crafty | Saturday, August 18, 2012 - 02:24 pm
Sighs...
You dont have the right to post stuff that could damage their business. You, as an enlisted man, dont have the right to say what you want about your CO or any army business, see Julian Lasarge.
You post in an discouraging negative manner which could influence new members, and honestly, not being too nasty, most of your ideas are ridiculous.
I wonder why I or Jo or Keto, orbiter and others who make suggestions or comments dont get banned? All you need do is check your preview, read it over and give yourself time to think,'did I need to say it like that?'
You've always been the same super, dont bitch too hard if you dont want to change, I dont see why you should change, dont get me wrong, but like Wendy, who accepts that she gets banned for long periods frequently, you makes your bed, you lies in it... |
| Lorelei | Saturday, August 18, 2012 - 08:01 pm
Honestly, I don't think the GMs intent is to stifle anyone's ability to speak. They are trying to make the forum an enjoyable place for all its membership. I have seen a decided effort to make the forums streamline, without taking away the fun. I think they are tolerable to a certain extent. They certainly were for a many number of years. ha ha ha
Super, I agree with Crafty. There is a right way and a wrong way to criticize and offer an opinion without being offensive. Even as it pertains perhaps to a change in the game that we do not agree with.
As to the other, there is certainly no room for personal attacks in this game. The forum has been misused for a number of years, for SMACK and personal attacks that really could impact a new player's decision whether to play or not. So, for the sake of the game, we have to be responsible and watch how we use the forum. The GMs are not trying to stifle anyone's right to post, but to guard their business interests, and that is just plain smart.
I can talk about bad forum behavior, because in the past I have participated in it. This is why I have talked to Kasper and Anthony in the forums. IGNORE. I wish I had taken this advice many years back. The back and forth name calling and ugliness does make the forum interolerable. Ask any vet here how sick they were of mine and Wild's constant bickering. I was ticked and fed the fire. And guess what, I became the bad guy, so to speak, in everyone's eyes. I still have the propensity to want to lash out, because I am still a little angry about stuff,,,,,,but the place is not here in the forum for everyone to see. If you have an issue, discuss it with the GM the appropriate way, via email.
Oh and I think both Keto and Crafty would make great moderators. Never understood why there was only one, anyways. |
| maclean | Sunday, August 19, 2012 - 03:36 am
maclean is a no-good egg-sucking varmint and needs his butt kicked. nuke him, everyone, and take his stuff. he is a devious sumbish anyway, and needs to be learnt a lesson.

Whoever kicks that Maclean's butt, make sure you wear fashionable and stylish shoes!!!! and lols to maclean - the real one and the imposter! ha ha ha ha |
| Keto | Sunday, August 19, 2012 - 09:47 pm
do white socks with sandals work? |
| Lorelei | Sunday, August 19, 2012 - 09:52 pm
OMGGGGGGG!!!!!!! Noooooooooooooooo!
NOT YOU TOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is all Crafty's fault and those Brits. This fashion tragedy is even more far reaching than I originally suspected. It's in Canada now and has KETO under its control. Adds Canada to my list of places to visit to stop this nonsense at once!
Keto, you commit this crime again and you become #4 on my list!!!!! Dun make me... |
| Anthony King | Sunday, August 19, 2012 - 09:58 pm
Actually a pair of steel capped leather boots will do the trick and thick black winter socks, just to make it comfort and ready to give the boot. That's gotta hurt. |
| Lorelei | Sunday, August 19, 2012 - 10:03 pm
And so will my steel capped leather stilettos - NO SOCKS! |
| Keto | Sunday, August 19, 2012 - 10:35 pm
hmmm, leather stilletos with white socks? lmao! sexy! |

I do agree with Lorelei this is a private game forum run by a private company and they do have the right to set down rules and say what goes on and they are trying to protect a corporate business which in itself is very hard work and could cause all kinds of legal implications if they allow certain things to go on. |
| Redman | Monday, August 20, 2012 - 10:50 pm

OMG Redman, that question should get you banned from the forum in addition to the beach!!!! That's one of the most offensive questions I have ever seen asked in this game! ha ha ha ha |
