Hi,
I've noticed there have been some attempts to bring issues across servers, and present them to community in that context...
While we don't really have strict rules around what content is put on specific server forums, content that has the majority of its relevant to other forums/servers must be put there. It is not appropriate to start discussions around another server's ingame issues and present them as if they are relevant to other servers.
On that topic, many people play other servers in different ways.... for instance, I play Alliance and Team server. On the alliance server, I play in LaF and am bound by the policies they have. I play team with individuals from LaF, WoG, Rage, SoF.... whoever is up for creating a team. We don't have the same values or play the same way we would on the Alliance server.
If people carry things across servers for their own personal reasons, that should be kept between the parties involved. There's too many pure hate threads starting up now, and like I said previously, everyone needs to chill and work to simply avoid each other.
This is an unneeded distraction and there is plenty of blame to go around for the issue I'm obviously speaking of. If I have to get more involved and keep everyone in line, that's fine, but I would like to see everyone just stop the madness and realize that while we may not agree with everything everyone does, we're all in this together.
Step one to rebuilding a proper community is to ensure that the seed community we have is no longer a toxic environment, and rehashing the same grudges over and over again is a major detriment to this goal.
If anyone wants to speak about this in private, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks
