I'm not a mod, and it's fine as it is.

Should Tip.it limit/censor what people can say?
True, Loge leaving didn't change any Tip.it policies, but it did change the fashion in which your policies were maintained. Not trying to shame anyone here, so I'll just provide one of many simple examples from Tip.it forums. Source: http://forum.tip.it/topic/260126-twr-titans-revolution-vs-the-moriquendi/ Source: http://forum.tip.it/topic/229186-twr-information/ In this scenario either someone is being lazy or there is some obvious favoritism going on, both of which did not occur when Loge was around. I can show you a lot more examples, but like I said before I'm not trying to shame anyone, so I hope you can understand the point of my previous statements. There can be a variety of probable causes but from my experience, I'd attribute this to a lack of activity checks. As an admin you also have a responsibility to ensure every mod is fulfilling his/her role on the team, introducing a specific set of objectives for each mod and maintaining a strict deadline can help prevent such things from happening in the near future. Other methods include replacing mods who are constantly inactive or don't act in the best interest of the forum, but you shouldn't go there until you have exhausted your other options. In my opinion, what the mods need most is an active leader who can guide them, something which was lost when Loge departed. Anyway I hope you can understand what I am trying to say, you don't have to listen to me or take me seriously. You can just ignore me and hope everything will turn out fine, but the truth is more and more clans are leaving TWR and your the only one who can do something about it. This is your forum, your traffic, your choice. I'm merely giving you my genuine advice on the matter, so if you choose not to listen, don't say I never gave you anything. Ok, I know I've been talking to you in pm but this is a little unfair. Yes, Mori should have been removed, they have been inactive. You claim favoritism? Why would Mori possibly want to remain on a list if they aren't going to war? Not to mention that no current clan staff members are part of mori....The clan staff have a huge amount of work to be done; bear in mind they are volunteers, who put up with spamming, trolling, mind-numbingly boring tasks such as updating the twr, only to have people complain they aren't doing it right. I understand your frustration, but just as you say this situation may require improvement from the staff, you have the option of being proactive and mentioning it to someone so it can be dealt with.

Bigotry
People who are religious can be bigots, yes, but they don't have to be. My religion may preach that those who do not follow will go to hell...but I don't consider myself to be above anyone else because of that. Ultimately, we all make our own choices in life, that's the beauty of life in the first place. If someone else doesn't want to follow my religion, they don't have to, and it doesn't make them any less of a person. But yes, according to my faith, it does mean they will end up in hell.

Ridiculous. Lets just be even softer on our kids now right, so they can grow up thinking they deserve life on a platter and lazy as [bleep].

I didn't want to hearth, I needed to be there...lol. Besides every time he killed me I was right next to the graveyard anyway.

Roll a death knight even if you do not like them. Their starting quest is probably the best quest storyline in WoW, try it out. Maybe later, I want to get to 80 on my pally first. And yeah I'm terrible at pvp, not much I could do at that level difference though.

Got level 60, went to outland...this level 80 blood elf pally one-shotted me 5+ times...was a bit annoying.

Politics subsection
I do think politics is a diverse and wide enough topic to merit its own forum, but activity is an issue. OT isn't that active as it is, so as others have said there's no need in our situation, and it would just fragment the board further.

The mobo being AM3 only impacts the processor I thought, and this is AM3 as well... Does that impact something else as well? And the extra $10 sounds worth it, what about this video card instead?: http://ncix.com/products/?sku=48038&vpn=HD577XZNFC&manufacture=XFX

Clan Politics
The best clans work top down from what I've seen. People shouldn't be able to apply for anything above event co-ordinator - and there's no need for the entire clan to vote for council and warlord. I can think of a few occasions where someone who absolutely didn't deserve a leadership position only got it because they were popular.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Asked a few pages back, don't think anyone ever answered...is this game as good for pc as it is for xbox?

Try a more casual guild, may have more luck. I switched realms, cost was ridiculous but hopefully will be worth it to play with an RL friend, and he says his guild is pretty good.

It might not to some of us, but it is best and most wise to not block those who differ in opinion to us from having their choice as well. B) ~D. V. "Wisdom allows rule-abiding freedom of expression..." Devnull (p.s.: Das, I'm not trying to be a pain here... Quite the opposite, in fact... I just don't see the point in not giving the option, even if we must wait a while in order for it to exist and be usable.) Problem is, you talk like this kind of stuff can be done with a snap of the fingers. It could be simple, it could not be. But I honestly don't see why it's urgent enough to merit the one or two coders available diverting their attention from RL and the rest of tip.it's coding needs.

nope. There are a fair few guilds who can try it now, but nobody has downed him. Which is definitely a good thing, The Lich King is THE villan of warcraft universe, would be sad to see his be defeated so quickly with is full strength. Lol Yeah, I watched some vids of 25 man normal and 10 heroic, they both look brutal.. Maybe within the next few weeks someone will beat him.

I may forgo that until I need it - I buy almost all of my games online so it may not be necessary. And if it is, there's a computer store 2 mins from my house.

Mini-Profile: Have Age, Gender and Interests displayed
I have to admit i love the task of identifying people by gender by posting style with nothing overt - sometimes i've thought female posters were male, and men were women. also - think of how many people think darkrick is a woman due to his avatar. LOL I had an e-crush on darkrick for the first year of me being here.
