What happened to the community? Mods used to be firm but fair, you knew where the line was and the repercussions of over stepping that line.

Now discussing tactics to counter legal tactics is grounds for the mods to take action, what happened FLS? Seriously?!?!?

Tbh i think the community should involve FLS, or FLS should involve itself in the community.

Alot of threads that are made on these forums are to encourage conversation and debate. We want people in the game to see all the different sides of the arguments and hopefully we come to a suitable and fair conclusion and solution to the voiced problems. With these threads being deleted, it doesnt stop this conversation and debate from happening.

Roberts has clearly done this is the past with the Anti-Noobi port flips and non-use of higher rates in PBs for the fairness of all nations and players. It does happen.

These type of threads are happening on other forums, vents, tells, emails, nation chats, steam chat, msn, etc etc. The only reason these threads are made here is to get some feedback from FLS, get some FLS inclusion and involvement, or even some clarification.

Everyone has their own opinions, and the only way to understand these opinions without being of amazing telepathic power, is to make a thread or talk or debate or even post a notice stating ones understanding and opinion.

With respect to the earlier post that was deleted, it does bring up some valid arguments. FLS is part of this community, and does in itself have an opinion. I would like to see FLS publish these opinions more often, imo this could even stop half the repeat threads. Such publishing of opinions can clarify exactly what FLS understands and interprets as griefing. Its very hard to find anywhere on these forums or websites that state clearly 'You can not be griefed if you are patrolling or blockading' or the understanding of 'time wastage' in PBs, and that FLS expects PBs to last 2 hours and the players are damn lucky if they finish earlier.

In summary, FLS, be apart of this community and voice your opinion and discuss with it in relation to these issues. Just putting them away and locking them up in the closet avoids any chance of understanding in either party, and allows for a similar situation to occur again in a couple days or hours because there is no precedent.
