No, kryo doesn't know your passwords, and we don't delete accounts, we just ban people.

If you see threads with inappropriate language or objectionable subject language, please come in #galciv on irc.stardock.com and report it to one of the ops, or e-mail one of the moderators if no one responds.

 

And it's spelt "disease"

Funny thing is you can't spell. It is spelled, not spelt.

Kryo doesn't need to know your password. He can ban whoever he likes. He is the chief forum moderator, and basically on here his word is law

Yes, and Marconthas has been banned his fair share of times too.

As far as bad language is concerned, I have not seen any, but like Cari said, report specific threads that do offend, I know it's Stardocks desire to keep these forums family friendly.

ok, your right. I apologize.

Best thing to do is use a filter that replaces inappropriate words with something appropriate. Most public forums use one.

Have you heard the way 13 year olds talk lately? Cmon, I agree that swearing might not be appropriate on here, but to turn into Tipper Gore? Don't start requesting a politically correct forum, or you know what will happen then. Kids have worse potty mouths than most adults, and just because they may not talk to you that way doesn't mean they don't speak the words. Lighten up. And don't be a "Tipper".

No need to insult the OP and belittle his concerns. I have not seen bad language here recently myself, but I agree with the OP about maintaining a degree of civility and maturity and, yes, morality in our conversation. It is absurd to say "they do it anyway, so we should allow it," which seems to be what you are arguing. (And believe me, my 5 kids did not use gutter talk when they were 13, or any other age). Anyone who does not have the intelligence or self-control to speak appropriately should not be given free reign to spew it out on others. I appreciate the job that (as far as I can see) is being done to keep these forums on a higher level. If it were any different, I would not be coming here as much as I do.

R E S P E C T...Respect others and respect yourself. its that easy

This is great, so long as the filter isn't idiotic and messes with words like assassin and making it buttocksbuttocksin. That only makes it worse.

Thats all you had to say, dudes.

And what on earth are you talking about anyway? I've seen no bad language for a long while, and I check these forums fairly regularily.

There are 131785 posts on the galciv2 website. Sure you checked them all?!

Damb , if that's your idea of a post that deserves deletion, then I think you ought to consider that maybe you're just a little bit thin-skinned. As internet forums go, this is one of the most well-behaved and polite I know of. I'm all for respectful behaviour, but the kind of heavy-handed moderating you're calling for is highly undesirable and also, in my experience (and I have been a forum moderator for years) highly counter-productive.

The GC2 forums are about as good as it gets.

Indeed. You want bad, you check out the 3000AD forums. I hear the man behind 3000AD is extremely hot-headed. I'm not too familiar with the board itself, but...

Well, 'Derek Smart' has a very infamous reputation, and let's just leave it at that.

By offensive, I don't mean annoying.  If I deleted everything that annoyed people, we wouldn't have much of a forum left.
