Re: Hall of Shame
I do not have moderation powers in the MP forum, but I'm going to make a public statement about this Hall of Shame idea nonetheless: NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
The reason is simple: It's asking for unnecessary friction, bad blood and general mayhem on the forums, grudges and vendettas being carried over from game to game and thread to thread and generally dividing the board and causing conflict. It would also require more work from the moderating staff. Given that I'm currently the most active moderator here, it's not much of a stretch to imagine I'd get to deal with a lot of that work.
I can guarantee everyone that if someone starts causing any big problems on the forums, they WILL be swiftly, brutally and mercilessly oppressed until they are no longer a problem. Whether the required level of oppression would reach up to the level of a permanent ban would depend on the case and whether the troublemaker was a repeat offender, but people have been permanently banned from these forums for being more trouble than they were worth keeping around for.
So, let this nonsense be buried once and for all. You don't want the mods forcibly solving problems resulting from an idea like this going haywire. You most certainly do NOT want me to be that moderator. You really, REALLY do not want that, trust me.
