In my opinion:

 

YOU (Players) are the first line of defense. Respect each other, have self control. If everyone followed those words, there would be no need for Mods whatsoever.

 

Players should have as much freedom as they deserve. If they abuse their right to freedom of speech, it should PERHAPS be taken from them (momentarilly), if the circumstances are severe enough.

 

Mods are here only to protect the forum from indecencies, to clean and to organize it. (Although players should be responsible for organzing their own posts and being decent, Mods are here when the players fail in that duty)

 

If you dont like us Mods bringin the ban hammer down, be a good, polite and considerate person. If we act unjustly, you have the right to question it. But it goes both ways.

 

It's up to you what you say, keep that in mind.

 

Be your own Mod.
