    Maybe what is needed, say in the Free Fire Zone for moderators to use a colour code system, say Yellow for this thread is being monitored closely and Red for this thread will be locked if insults take place or another reason. But of course Otto is the boss and has the final say.

    I will be honest with all you folk here I have seen heck lot more insulting threads on other forums. I feel over all everyone here are a good bunch of guys, yes on the odd occasion things will boil up so my advice is just walk away from the thread and do not read it again.

    If someone is really getting your back up there is the option of the Ignore List, by placing there name on that list there posts are closed so you don't have to read them. But it would be better if the party's in question settled the matter by private messaging and not on the boards.

    As for the WW2F on the whole I feel the balance is just right and just stick to the forums that really interest you.

    One thing to keep in mind is that us Mods aren't paid to moderate these forums. There's only a handful of us, and we're only human, so asking us to read each and every post in particular forums is a little over the top. Thats why we have the REPORT POST function, as it allows members to point things out to us that we haven't read.

    For instance, I for one don't read any of the What Ifs - usually not a fan of them, or the discussions going on in them. And I think we've discovered that most of the other Mods don't read them either, but they are a part of the Forum. Which is where you, Rogues, come in - reporting posts etc.

    I do check out most other threads, especially by new members, or ones with odd titles and the like, along with the usual more WWII Orientated discussions, and of course everything posted in the Gaming Forum.

    Perhaps if there might be certain guide lines and rules layed out as to what can be said or how it can be said to go with the Free Firezone threads??

    If we all follow the same rules listed, then this might alleviate any unecessary tensions or stepping on toes. ( remember im an elephant if I step it hurts :D )

    And for anybody that doesnt follow the guidelines would be banned from the specific thread?

    Just an idea... and if it sucks please remember I am only Russian! :D

    Now you tell me, another hundred pound bet down the drain.
    I had you down for a Scotsman.

    Back to the topic.

    Good Point

    I had an idea! We could make PMs count to the post numbers. I'm sure I'd be biting Kai Petri's heels by now with all the traffic I get :D

    Another proposal. We have this gif in the forum gallery.

    I positively find it in bad taste. The face is cute but the sign is in terrible taste. Can we have an alternative?
