I want to protest for the way my posts were deleted by Spellforce, my posts were not inflamatory or offensive to no one, the authority he has taken on his hands to delete the posts that he feels like it, must stop, it is not right for one person to delete any posts that he feels are not appropiate without the approval of Stardock.

I think that this attack against me by Spellforce it is wrong, and Spellforce if you delete this thread I will send an e-mail directly to Frogboy, Carielf and T-Man.

Shalom please see the post in the diplomats thread. But to cut to the chase your posts were unneccasary and you had been asked on several occasions to stop 'spamming' the thread with your miltiple posts. As these posts were causing the thread to boe unreadable they were removed. We have no 'gripe' with you but if you continue to fill our thread with the tpye of spam you were posting then we shall be forced to make a complaint about your conduct. The posts were deleted after the users of the thread requested it because thy found your posts to be offensive. But feel free to complain as i will be more than happy to explain to stardock why they were deleted.

I suggest both parties take a step back and draw breath. Nothing is going to get resolved whilst the current spirit of animosity prevails.

Shalom - consider what our master says about what to do when a brother smites you on the cheek.

Mindshock - censorship in any form is not a good idea - it is something that can too easily lead to a totalitarian regime - which would not be good for the rest of us....

agreed. Please no one ask for a post to be deleted in the future as this will now not be done.

As Alex states, censorship is not a good thing and i apologize to Mayito for removing his many posts in the Diplomats thread and to the other members of the diplomats for doing the same. I would ask in future that anyone who posts comments in anothers thread should do so curteously and cease if asked to by a 'host' member. Remember what you perceive as a joke, another might take offence to.

Hopefuly we can put this behind us now and carry on in the same way we have been for a long time.

Renegade I think you mean well, and what you say I havn't found offensive but Im pretty easy going and dont like getting to involved when it comes to disagreements.But sometimes people feel you can go abit over the top sometimes in what your posting. I have nothing personel agianst you, hell I dont know you or havn't been here that long, but from what Ive seen or read, sometimes a little less is better then to much.

That being said, I think the forums would be a worse place with out you.

And I hope all this madness can be put behind everyone. We all can go over the top sometimes, we just got to learn when it is appropiate. Torian Tornadoes all round at the Galactic Grog, lets have a party...

Cheers.

Renegade,

I have to admit I was the one who asked Mindshock to delete your posts, as I was the first to ask you to stop spamming our group. When I asked, it didn't occur to me that there was anything wrong with the request since it your posts didn't seem to serve any purpose except to annoy a community of people (the Diplomats). I hadn't thought the matter through.

However, as people have raised the issue of censorship and other have raised very reasonable voices against what I had asked for, I want to apologize to all for not having thought this through before. I agree that as you were not "crying fire in a crowded theatre", you had moral right to express yourself and it was wrong to ask Mindshock to delete your posts.

My apologies to you.

Slothrop

I didn't intent to spam your thread I was just trying to get to the post 800, thaT was the whole thing, I was using phrases from and old pirate movie called Captain Blood where Errol Flynn was the captain and I was using some spanish phrases that were part of the pirate lingo like canones= cannons, fuego=fire, but I was not intending to spam your thread, someone was complaining that the thread was too quiet and I just wanted to bring it back to life, period, was not any second itention or other possible motive. But don't worry I am not angry with anyone or Spellforce, I just would like if he would ask me why I was posting there instead of just deleting the posts. He has my e-mail he could have contacted me and I would have explained that this was just a joke, nothing else.

But I don't have any grutch against anyone, I am just playing the role of pirate, each one of us in any stage of our childhood loved to be a pirate, sailing the seas, free like the wind, and I was just having some fun, but sorry that my posts were taking the wrong way.
