Quote:any GROUP of moderators should let THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY decide whether or not this is acceptable. Banning Undead for this was....politely put, immature.In an ideal world, of course that would be how things were done. However, in practice, this "everyone gets to decide" thing just doesn't work quite as well as you'd like it to, not here anyway. With an open source game, it's easy to become a "part of the community". But then, who gets to decide on the issue? Everyone, including spammers, trolls and flamers? What makes a person a spammer, troll or flamer? Should new players be considered community members as well? If so, what to do when majority of them have uninformed opinions since they don't yet understand AC and the rest of the community?
Giving power to people is something that works well in theory. However, much like many ideas so great and wonderful in theory, this too is unfortunately impossible in practice.
EDIT: Yea... I shoulda refreshed before replying :/
