We do have some younger folk around here that we DO need to watch what we say... xD Anyway, I see your points, but I find it so tiring that, every time almost, I had seen drama happen and/or I get involved with it or accidentally caused it. So, I'm going to propose something else, then, so that we've not got this crap to deal with so often, ok? My apologies about the tone, by the way. I'm just stressed to hell right now. Anywho. Sorry to side-track this conversation, but I have to ask it: Who wishes to step up and become a volunteer, to later become a moderator? Doesn't matter what your responsibilities are. Whether you're a cbox moderator, a profile moderator, character moderator, 'sheriff' moderator, or something else, do any of you wish to step up to this? I know Scargot and Pipa have stepped up to be volunteers and are probably just waiting. Post in the announcement thread about it (1. Acquire Staff, 2. ?, 3. PROFIT!!!!).

I'm not saying that, Nai. I'm simply address the point about Pipa and Porn. If it were added to the site, I wouldn't mind. If it's not, I wouldn't mind. My point is; if this were my site, and it were adult rated and people had a problem with it, I WOULD tell them "tough shit, Deal with it or leave.".

That's a lot of 'what ifs' that simply aren't happening though, and don't necessarily factor into the discussion of keeping the Cbox or making the rules stricter. You're correct, fights do happen on the internet. A lot of it comes from the anonymity that it grants people when talking to others. That doesn't mean we have to allow or accept it here. So far there are too many of these fights that break out in the Cbox as it is. If upping the rules/punishments is what's needed to put a stop to them, then I'd say that's the far more preferable option than losing the Cbox all together. However, allowing things to simply continue as they are doesn't seem like much of an option with what we've been dealing with as of late.

I agree that perhaps stricter punishments might be needed, but jumping from 1 warning to immediate 7 day ban is very, very extreme and it would turn me away from the site. There's a fine line between punishment and neigh C-Box dictatorship.

OK the porn thing... was a metaphor. I could replace it with much worse things. I don't really follow what happened between Emer and you guys, but overall these constant arguments are KILLING this site. Bao is tired of it, Pie is tired of it. Bao wants to RP here, but will he ever have a chance when he has to deal with all of this OOC drama all the time? How many bombs are they going to be able to diffuse before they throw in the towel? I also want to apologize to Ninjin Nedrag for my PM a while back. I see now.

... more than just tired Pipa... but lets not make things gloomy. While not quite the intent of this thread, I might give enabling shoutbox a spin. Both have different advantages and disadvantages, but we'll never really know unless I enable it for people to try out. My personal opinion is that a chat box is very important and should not be removed. Ideally, people should just not go causing dramas (not really that hard), that is a personal responsibility I charge you all with - no one is here to argue and make this place unpleasant, we are all here to have fun and make friends with like-minded people, we are playing a game... If you find yourself angry or tempted to be dicky or break the rules just stop, you achieve literally nothing and it's so infinitely pointless, you are slouched in your seat staring at pixels on a screen, doesn't it seem more than a little foolish to get worked up over such things? Do you not trust that I (or the rest of staff) will give you a fair go and hear you out completely, and more importantly resolve any issues which you may be concerned about - so relax, don't get all worked up over silly substance-less things. (A way of sometimes resolving a frustration is to step back and think of yourself in third person, and then begin figuring out why those feelings are being felt by 'that person'. Follow it through asking way those things make that person feel that way and you can often realise what you're really upset about is actually entirely different. This sort of extract can help you calm down, and also start working out solutions for the real problem you have.)
