I have a question and maybe some of you can "enlighten" me on just why it is the way it is. How come when it come's to mmorpg forum's the moderators on those types of games tend to be more possessive and controlling of the posts then usual? I can go on these forums and probaly make the most bullocks post in the world. The mod here would delete the post and the thread would continue. Yet in mmorpg's they never try to edit something out or delete one post. It's GOT to be the entire thread.
I'll take the most infamous mmorpg forums known for mod's and the community alike. SWG. Here on these forums you can get your forum account perma-banned for simply saying the opposing faction you fight in pvp "sucks". Now I could understand how this thread could get deleted as it's inciting trolling, drama, blah blah. But on SWG's forums you get your forum account perma-banned for saying something of the like. This is one of those game's where you are only granted one forum account per subscription as well.
So in a summary I guess I'm simply asking:Why are mmorpg mod's so much more ana...err..."stricter" then most other games.
