I believe there should be areas in traven where there is for help talk with noobs/vets and it be drama free.

Like I personally don't come here much casue I got to read throw alot of bullshit to even look for what I came for.

This is post to be a areas for all in the game to come and talk and get help and throw ideas around not be a ass to all.
I for one would love to come to a area in traven and talk and learn from others in other nations/guild with out the trash.

I say make one area no bullshit aloud if you come there and start shit ban right off the top cause it's drama free area for the ones that want to just talk and be cool

A handful of players are unable to separate in-game events and personal feelings from spilling over into, and derailing, forum discussions. This coupled with the fact that moderators are bias in judgement and insensitive to any that don't share their opinion has killed the forum.


There are a dozen similar post to this and there will be a dozen more to come. No need to waste our breathe dscussing the issue when majority of those directly contributing are the ones expected to rectify the issue (we have seen the results).

Simply, enforce the rules and leave personal affiliations out of it. If you're unable to do this then give up your title as mods. Next, those who can't get over some random event from however long ago and feel it is ABSOLUTELY necessary to comment on an issue, the UOH exist or just IGNORE the post.

As for the Devs, I have personally given up on seeing anything new being introduced. Best to clear the backlog before wanting new suggestions only for them to be approved and archived for years. The game is being neglected.


As the forums no longer has any effect on my in-game activity, I read whatever grasps my attention and that's it. No comments, no post, unless it directly concerns me.

I agree Pro. There should be a drama free zone. Or as Dman would call it a safe-space.

But it’s says a lot when full a** grown adults need a moderator to handle their petty squabbles instead of I don’t know acting mature and getting passed a petty childish beef. Like children. “DEZ the big bully is being me to me so Imma need you to quit your full time job that supports your family to work this Volunteer job around the clock monitoring every little nuisance. And also Dez I can’t get over what the bully said to me 5 years ago because let bygones be bygones and o refuse to practice the act of forgiveness because I am not mature enough”.

Grow the Eff up people God D*mn you’ll are some whiny a** crybabies.

Also I think maybe something with the headers of the Forum Topics because clearly no one is paying attention to the fact that a topic is posted in UOH but seriously is that any surprise when men don’t follow simple instructions in the first place and I only say men cause let’s face it y’all are in abundance here. Sorry not sorry.

Oh and Dman you were absolutely right about the last addition to my suggestion it was totally stupid lol. I was actually thinking of a forum kinda inspired by George Carlin’s Braindroppings or one of Lewis Black’s great rants lol.

Here in lies the issue. No one NEEDS the moderators to do anything. What we have now is moderators doing nothing and alot of the " full a** grown adults have simply stop because of it. That is what the "full a** grown adults " have decided to do instead of feeding into it. It is the type of decision a "full a** grown adults " should make.

Now the intent of the thread is to find out how we can get people to start posting again. For that, we do need the moderators. We don't need them to make full a** grown adult decisions for us, we need them to set and enforce the g.round rules otherise we are exactly where we are today.

I am sure many of the full a** grown adults , like myself who have cut my forum participation to next to nothing, are perfectly happy with ignoring the forums because of the bullshit. I used to post daily, multiple times a day. But in the spirit of the thread, we are simply stating what would need to happen for us to return to the level of forum activity we had in the past. This is how full a** grown adults handle issues. We identify, discuss, and provide feedback and ideas.

But heh, I am perfectly happy going back to my corner and ignoring the forums like I pretty much have for the past 1-2 years.

Again, the only way to move forward is for people to start posting. Don't want to deal with the drama of UoH, then don't post in those topics.

Dez you have been the only one in this thread to comment. I would like to hear from the other Mods on this as well.....

Well...

For everyone's knowledge here are all those that are either Admins/Mods in the forums:

Captain Jack
Meliva
DezNutz
Sir Henry Morgan (SHM)
Trixikilikili
William One Eye
Argo

You may not get a response from SHM, the last I heard he has some RL things he is taking care of recently, but still logs into game regularly. You are free to reach out to them in-game and ask them to respond.

Change has to come from the top .... so seems CJ and Mel need to be the ones to give their thoughts

I honestly don't see CJ changing anything. The rules are laid out. The only question comes down to what level of enforcement does the community want applied. Based on the complaints, they seemingly want a strict level of enforcement. To me strict interpretation of the rules would also include borderline actions, subtle insults, and instigation. Warnings would only apply to those who are relatively new to the forums. Anyone that has been around for sometime would just get an outright ban. I'm ok with starting that right now. There are atleast 3 offenders in this thread that would fall under strict enforcement and get bans right away.
