But in all seriousness, OP, if you really get bothered by the criticisms that people say about this game, the official forums may be a better place for you. It isnt a bad thing that I am saying. You just may feel more comfortable there.
It has nothing to do with criticisms, it has to do with flaming, trolling, lying, and getting off topic. Thanks for the suggestion though.
You wont stop it, its like if you get sick at the smell of fish, you avoid the pier.
There are rules and if they're broken I'm going to report the post, after that it's out of my hands.
Still wont work, you'll spend your time trying to get people in trouble and the mods are usually pretty lenient about bans. You'll find yourself wasting a lot of your time for no reason.
Yeah well what do you care what I do with my time? The Darkfall forum is already pretty much a waste of time with all the trolling and flaming so what's the difference? I'd rather try and help clean things up for people who want to discuss civilly on both sides than just give up.
Well either way thats some wicked karma, your motivation seems to lie within the bounds of vengeance, as opposed to doing it because its right. Kinda creepy if you ask me.
Then again Darkfall has some strange members in its cult.
There is nothing wrong with someone wanting to help clean up the flaming and trolling in this or any forum for that matter. As long as what he is reporting is indeed that, flaming or trolling. The mods on this site have also gotten a lot more strict as of late as well. What you're saying about them may have been true a year ago but it's changed in the last few months. Nowhere has he stated that he wants to report people for stating negative viewpoints as long as they are posted within the rules as defined by the RoC. If everyone loved Darkfall this forum would be a pretty boring place to discuss the game. He just feels that the discussions should remain somewhat civil and with that I agree. Trolls and flamers hide on both sides of the fence in this section, both fanboi and hater and they should be treated equally.

Thank you. And yes, I welcome both sides of the issues, that's the only way to learn more about the game. Discussions are healthy and I'm in no means a fanboi. I'm critical of every game I play, I call it as I see it. I've said that animations need to be improved on many occasions but I like the graphics overall. I welcome comments, questions, and critiques but when it gets to "dodz da graxiz suXXors!!11!" or "it's vaporware cult boys", well then that's over the top.
I'm just asking for civility on both sides, that is all.

I don't even know why there is a forum for this ummmmm game roflmao. Theres nothing to discuss but a couple videos noone can verify and a list of vapo errr features that many people myself included would love to see in an MMO (I quit following the game over a year ago which was about 3 years later than I should have). Now all of a sudden there will be open beta in a month or two, ya dark and light I mean ya right. Theres an old saying "that even if you win the special olympics your still retarded" seems to apply to the fanbois fighting the trolls over darkfall.
Attn: Mods The entire time I have spent here, you have done a good job and rarely get any credit. Thanks!
This, they actually do a fantastic job, just it goes unnoticed. If they posted everytime they moderated someone, everyone would see it (i dont think they should do this...im just saying).
It is unfortunate that there are people with mentalities like the trolls that have come here, but its just something we have to deal with. The naysayers have to deal with the frustrations of over the top fanbois too.
This thread needs to die now though. The trolls were moderated, and the forum that was nothing but pure in intentions and had nothing to do with opinions about the status or chances of this game is now back on track, so thank you mods.

If people don't start following these rules, I'm going to start reporting them. I'm tired of the lies, slander, and continual trolling that is not allowing people interested in Darkfall to hold civil discussions. So stop the trolling, bashing, flaming, and stay out unless you can follow the rules.
I guarantee that I, and others, could come in here, troll the place down and make fanbois howl, and it would all be done within the limits of those rules.
If you feel a post does break the RoC - http://mmorpg.com/disclaimers.cfm#conduct then please do report. But try not to report every post in a thread, one will do as we have to check all the post for any violations once someone is reported in that thread.

That's good enough for me, thanks for your time.

aye, thats exacty what I am talking about. Many people that you are upset at ARE following those rules. Take a look at my previous post. It explains exactly why you dont see as many posts as you may want to be closed and locked.
I did read your post and I know the rules, thanks.
Just because you dont like other peoples opinion about your "pet" game, doesnt mean you have the right to shut people up. They have the same rights to hate it as you do to love it.
I can already tell you are on some sort of quest here, but I assure you, tattling on the other kids because youre mad wont work.
I don't care what people say as long as they follow the rules and a lot of people are not following the rules. I have no quest other than to have civil discussions without people coming in with trolling, lies, flaming, and taking threads off topic.
Zek,
Sadly you won't get that here, these boards are just for laughability value, nothing more. Even giving people the it's "devils advocate" may be appropriate but the vitriole and diatribe from a lot of people is nothing more than a form of forumn ganking. Pretty sad and pathetic really.
THe DFO forumns are fine as long as you read up on the game befoire hand and make an effort.

Darkfall Releases on: February 25th, 2009
Darkfall Recap of everything that has happened the last 3 months: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/213296

Go with the flow.

Enigma stop being a wanna-be moderator, you lost your chance and got demodded!
how did you lost your moderatorship?
That's good enough for me, thanks for your time.

I quit when they altered the rules where moderators could not participate in normal chat but was only allowed to post game related information only.
I never "lost my chance" nor was I "demodded." You may want to look into facts before making yourself look silly in a public forum.
Here's the thread where I quit:

good try though
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
