Of course, for moderation there are only two sides, it breaks the ToS or it doesn't, everything else is irrelevant.
and denying that the games isnt average or good at best (and after all arent we striving for perfection).
how many times have u seen the trolls comments "i think it's satifactory" type comments. it's enough to make you sick.
Those are opinions and moderation is not the business of sensoring opinions just because some people do not like them. As long as the opinion is expressed without violating the ToS then the opinion, no matter how offensive or reprehensible, is acceptable to be posted.
and yet u allow it. and I dont mean you I am directing this at the forum owner
He has answered it, see his comments on other related types of debates where some of the opinions expressed are considered ridiculously offensive or reprehensible to the vast majority of people (e.g. holaucast denial is one that crops up regularly).
in fact no offence Ishan i'd rather he answered these posts. he and mike simpson have a lot to answer for I reckon...
I'm not sure what mike simpson has to do with moderation policy on TWC but fine and as said above GED has commented on these types of questions.
they are the individuals who are most likely directly responsible for bringing this forum+the game down.
and yes i believe allowing inane drivel/apologetic posts and catering 2 12yr olds (i.e bee onagers) bringing it down. it proves in my opinion money>substance/quality.
You're doing the exact thing as the members your complaining about and you don't even see it.

No they mean you blindly support your side of the debate. Is it nice, perhaps not, but moderation is not in the business of making sure people are nice. Personally I think it's a poor way to argue to dismiss a person's post/argument just because they like/dislike the game, but the site does not enforce proper debating rules.

Anyone who comes into a naval battle criticism thread and says "you aren't doing it right" is trolling.
As long as it can be reasonably discussed, even if that means posting "that's not realistic" and is within the rules than it's more than fine for the member to post. They are expressing their opinion just like you are allowed to express yours, within the ToS.
