On the contrary sir I find it quite refreshing that someone with special responsibilities in this game would let the common player know what was going on. He could be one of those players that are affiliated with the game and hide within a tribe dealing out advantages to their members that other players do not necessarily have. Instead he has been quite fair and resonable with his infractions I am not privileged to see the infractions he has dealt out to others that like to verbally attack everyone else but I have seen the ones he has given to me and find them to be a decent interpretation of the forum rules. I personally wish he would have been around before the creation of Storm it would have saved a heck of alot of redundant posting from the Stormies.
I don't have a problem with him banning everyone, I just don't believe a mod should post private mails, I believe it is a betrayal of trust.
And I think him making a thread about the forums silence and commenting on it is fine.
It is his job to keep the forums in line and he is doing a GREAT job. Unfortunately there is no-one left to break the rules. I'd rather see a little disorganization than total silence.
