To @Oveur @KatieFleming
This is a very low priority problem I have, but the forums are in a state of disarray. People are consistently accusing forum mods of abuse and bias (I am not giving legitimacy or stating any opinion on these claims in this thread,) people are constantly flaming and derailing threads, and there is no set rules list which would clarify a lot of confusion (there is a well hidden code of conduct on the help tab.) Here is what I suggest:

• A crackdown on name calling, insulting, and derailment: It needs to stop, it is making the forum a hostile environment and giving a lot of trolls too much ground. I think the mods do an okay job at this now, but it is obvious they are understaffed.

• A clear rules list: Possibly a blanket list and have some specific rules for certain sections. Duplicate threads are a pretty annoying issue, and a few mega-threads would help clear up the clutter. This would also make the moderators actions less questionable by the forum users, as it lays out a basic guideline to what they can, and will, do. Following is a draft based on what is in the code of conduct and some ideas I had:

1. No disrespecting others. You can be respectful in pretty much anything you want to say, and if you have to be disrespectful in what you want to say it isn't worth saying. This includes name calling and insults.
2. Do not derail threads. Keep on topic, a general rule of thumb is to not diverge too far from a conversation, and if you do keep it to 2 posts maximum.
3. Do not duplicate post, use the search function before you post. If you duplicate post your post may be merged with another thread.
4. No explicit content, including pornography. If it is NSFW content, its not safe for the forums.
5. Obvious rules: Don't break the law, don't infringe on copyright, do not advertise or send commercial messages, and don't give out personal information.

• More sections: A section on suggestions and a section on balancing would go a long way to organizing this forum. Those are just off the top of my head.

I think a better forum could be achievable, if any of you guys have suggestions I will edit them into the OP. I hope I am not encroaching on any forum moderator territory by posting this, I am only trying to help.
Thanks,

This , this and more of this. These forums are the most childish forums I've ever been on in my 20 years of online gaming. It is rediculous.

Visit Steam boards of the game and you will see a new level of "childish forums"

No thanks.

Yo wazzup da Big E is in da thread. C'mon men just chill. I don't see da big problem. If shit's gettin hot really, da Mods makes deir move, be sure. All other stuff is ur taste. SOmwa luvs diz mess, somwa not. I okay, dat guy on corner too, diz buddy too, and doze two no. I don't see big trouble.

Writing decently in any non-Roleplay section should be a good rule to start with.
Most of forums does not allow SMS, and orkish isn't different.
I do not want to be troublesome but every peoples writing "in ork" on the forum are realy hard to understand for non-english native speakers

Just ya know... Big E writes not in orkish style... Big E writes in gangsta style.

Should I appologize a "novice" in gangsta style nor orkish style doesnt see the difference?
Anyway this doesn't change my point of view about "decent writing rules", gangsta nor ork, we do not understand you.

I was thinking of adding that, especially about orkish, but I am pretty sure that would cause more trouble than it's worth. People would be pretty pissed.
