I already handled it... but thanks anyway.

Greetings,

There's already a folder in there titled "Players from the Southwest." It's just kinda far down the list, towards the bottom and somewhat easy to miss. ;)

Thanks,

Imrielle


Questions? Send me a note at Mod-Imrielle@play.net or shout out to Senior Monitor Dr-Redryn@play.net or Message Board Supervisor Dr-Cecco@play.net.

I'd love a new, bigger, KK folder.

Dear Cecco,

I write this requesting a formal outline of which words are appropriate and inappropriate for the DragonRealms message board. As it stands, it seems that each board monitor has a different take on which words are acceptable and which aren't. Compounding this problem is the fact that there seems to be quite a bit of confusion regarding if a certain term alluding to one's posterior is acceptable "speech" or not. Though it's commonly thought that policy regarding this word (among others) was relaxed, I myself had a post pulled that contained such a word within the past week.

As if that weren't enough, Solomon's most recent post regarding which words are acceptable within the game appears to contradict actual board policy. I'm confused as to why such terminology could be used in the game, when in that medium you are much more likely to come across those with virgin ears.

I would appreciate clarification on this issue. I certainly don't think it's fair to brand some people with a post pulling for one violation, yet have another person do the exact same thing and face no repercussions. Such clarification would surely only provide benefits to the playerbase so they know definitely which words are deemed unacceptable and which aren't.

Thanks.

<<I meant to ask why that was acceptable for the game, but not the message boards.>>

While I am not Cecco, I might be able to explain.

To play Dragonrealms, you are required to be eighteen years of age or have the permission of a parent or guardian. This means that you have reached the level of maturity in which you can go view an "R"-rated movie, which oftentimes has gratuitous violence, foul language, and just a hint of naughtiness.

To view the message boards for this game, you need only go to www.play.net/forums and you're off. No agreement, no age restriction, no nothing. This makes minors far more likely to find the forums without a parent's permission than to enter the game (which, after all, requires a credit card number).

Questions and Requests.. Discussions would be better suited elsewhere. As to words allowed or not allowed.

We have a list we follow. Some are open to our interpretation (Example would be words used in London that mean something completely different in Los Angeles. And No.. I wont give a word example).

If you have a problem with a post being pulled.. let us know. Personally, I love a good argument.

Thanks

Well, I don't see any of the last seven posts pulled, so I'm at a loss as to why you'd splat something. As to whether this would be a good area to ask such questions. Where would be a good place for future reference for those who might ask. This does look like the proper area to me, of course I'm known to be a bit thick at times.

You DR Bb monitors do not operate the same as say the GS Bb monitors. So asking such a question on say the Simu Forum would not be correct. Mattterfact the last time I tried to talk about something to do with DR on the main SIMU folder, Andy attempted to direct me to the DR bbs. Though the situation was mostly something I was trying to get onsite staff to respond to.

So Pomae of the " I love a good argument " club, why don't you clarify as to where this sort of talk should take place.

Jim, splat right back at you...

p.s: Want to see me get pissy with you? Ask Bubba and the rest of onsite staff, be vague. Thatta get me yapping at you.




Connecting to game - please wait.

DragonRealms will be up shortly.

The game appears to be alive, but it is not responding to the Wizard's requests.

To whom it may concern,

Is it possible we can have a politics and religion folder, please? If this is not feasible, could you detail reasons why and whether this may be a possibility in the future.

Thanks for reading.

<<but 99.9% of all political and religious discussions tend to end in conflicts since veiws held so dear contrasted against someone eleses views held dear make some people feel personally attacked when a view point is attacked. and it only ends in tears.>>

Wherever it goes, it should be opened. The reason why i post is to entertain myself whenever i dont feel like working, or get really bored at home. Since i rediscovered the boards, im taking full advantage of the option for additional info and entertainment.

A politics/Religion folder, or one for each topic makes total sense.

People end up in tears? Well, I argue that such a folder will be very instructive to said sensitive folk, and repeated exposure to like and opposing views is not only healthy, but will allow them to develop an ability to assert and respond (safely) and, over time, cause them to mature.

There's no reason to be afraid of debate. None. Especially not here.

>> not to sound mean or anything... but 99.9% of all political and religious discussions tend to end in conflicts

It isn't our fault if not everyone that plays this game is capable of handling themselves in a mature manner.

Yes, there will be disagreements, and probably some flaming, but most of us here are adults.

Then again, I've always gone to Something Awful for intelligent discussion. Worth the 10 bucks if you've got it, that's for sure.
