Dear TXward,

Gugliandalf is respected by all user across the site not only because of his seniority or any other personal stuffs but the contribution in the past 5 years.

You may be new to this site and don't know the history. If u have time, pls read the forum from the beginning. http://youplay.it/play/forum_NewMessage.asp?msgid=100

We form this site, not because we want to create a forum for free speeches, instead, this forum is created because we all just like board games and come here for fun.

When someone just polluted the original purpose, will u get annoyed or angry? Imagine you build a park for free, wishing every people can come here and enjoy the time. And you kind enough to place a white board in the entrance and let people write thing on it.

And one day, a man bring a dog in and shit all over the place. Then write on the board " I like to shit." What will you think?

Webmaster have all the power and authority to enable/disable any accounts in the forum, but refuse/hesistate to do so... why?

1. We wish to keep admin as little as possible.
2. We wish to give freedom to player as much as possible.
3. There is no perfect system, and it is WE to make the system perfect, or spoil/abuse it.

Many players have made the wish list, actually I have also my wish list but why can't all suggestion being implemented?

As site growing larger and larger, it is even harder for us to implement new idea as coding and debuging takes many many time and resource.

Youplay.it is an hobby, at least for me, Nick and Fourth. We didn't earn a living from it, instead we spent a lot of times in try to keep it running.

I am not a professor in University nor an Politian in any Party nor a Millionare nor a Philosopher nor a idiot. We just want to have some harmless fun in this tiny Cyber space. Are we so demanding

Mind your wordings.

Enjoy the reading/writing fun

P.

Mind my wordings? Was there some wording I chose that you felt inappropriate? If so, let me know. And while you're at it, review the wording of Gugliandalf's original post here (not the one that you linked to which seemed to have little if any point in the context of this thread) and explain how cussing and false accusations are examples of someone minding their wording. As you failed to reprimand Gugliandalf for his inappropriate post, it leads others to believe that they are acceptable to you as the Forum moderator - especially considering you took action on others due to it.

If the Forum posts by GR and AH were inappropriate, why not act on them immediately? Why wait for Gugliandalf to make his inappropriate post? If YPI is going to be run this way - where the squeaky wheels get the grease - then what it will lead to is a ton of noisy wheels complaining about every little thing that they might take offense to. The noise will drown out the content. And when the noise gets to that point, how much fun will there be? If the posts had warranted action, they warranted action without some other user highlighting them for you in the Forum.

Nick's rules were clear and Gugliandalf should have sent either him or you an email if he felt that there was some wrongdoing. Starting a flamewar is exactly what you and Nick have stated you did not want users to do, but then you encouraged it by catering to Gugliandalf inflammatory attack rather than stopping it immediately and telling him that his post was inappropriate.

We are here to have fun, which you claim is the point, so encourage the fun by discouraging the senseless flamewars. Gugliandalf may be well respected, but I find it hard to give too much respect to those who feel that they have earned the right to do as they please on this site. So he's been here for far longer and contributed to the site - does that give him the right to act inappropriately? Your response to my post indicates that the answer is 'yes'. Is it?

Regarding your park analogy, you again defend Gugliandalf's inflammatory post by essentially stating that he helped build it and therefore is justifiably upset. However, if I go to a park and see some schmuck as you describe, letting his dog relieve itself where it should not, I would hope that something is done about it. Having a park builder standing there yelling for the police to take action on the schmuck, all the while having his own dog relieve itself inappropriately in the park at the same time, I would expect the police to take action on not only the schmuck, but the arrogant builder as well. Why do you feel that only the schmuck should be reprimanded? Helping to build the park doesn't justify making a mess of it either, don't you think?
