Because this locked thread was not ultimately listed as NGTH in the last post:

http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=5113186

nor were options fully discussed on how it could be arranged if it were to happen, I am opening another thread to hopefully get real and intelligent discussion on the matter.

The biggest problem in my eyes about how these (inconsistent) forum bans are doled out is that the team often suffers because of it, whether intentional or not. I understand that team forums are still accessible, however, not all agents use the team forums, or the forums at all for that matter.
When you punish a whole team of users for something a single user did (or possibly was misconstrued as doing even), then you are asking for whatever mass exodus you get within the game.

And Romo, before you go saying this or that about what I have or haven't thought of in regards to your last post in the locked thread (specifically this part)

Stifling conversation before it even gets started is why those that think you are a bad mod think that in the first place.
Do you think that the generals in WW1 thought "hey, we better get chemical weapons banned before WW2.... no wait, we better wait until WW2 gets here and see how it plays out before signing this here Chemical Weapons Convention agreement."?

HELL NO!!!

Squashing ideas before they can be discussed (who cares which server holds the info being discussed as the server space will remain the same, just a different HDD) is counter-intuitive AND BAD FOR BUSINESS.

/rant

Edit: forgot suggestion part.... when main forum banned, do not ban from private forums (team forums are already still accessible)

This is no longer the case. If haven't noticed, people have been ridiculously banned for mentioning Catch, known cheaters, etc. Threads are locked or disappearing like there was porn posted in them. It is out of fucking control.

well I have to be honest I haven't noticed. mostly because I haven't been reading much of the crap that is posted in the main forums anymore. lately it seems that the ones that used to post in FFA all the time has moved to GLB main. so being honest I just don't read much in the forums anymore.

I think it's been mentioned before elsewhere that a revised version of the forums (and revised Forum Rules) will take effect when the new game goes live. You may have heard about Bort applying lessons he learned from GLB1 to the creation of GLB2...? Same goes for the new forum stuff. It'll be an improvement on the current system based on what we've found works (or doesn't work) best. As Romo pointed out in the thread you linked to...

Those decisions are made on this end, they're not made based on threads like this. Anyway, I'll go ahead and lock this up since the Suggestions forum is for game-related suggestions (not for complaints about forum moderation). If you have an issue with forum moderation, PM a Lead Mod or send in a Support ticket and we'll look into it.

And while I probably wouldn't phrase it quite like this...
