^Yeah, this is exactly what I meant......On other forums I feel like I can talk, on this one I feel like anything I say is gonna get nagged about. It's a game forum, there's no need to get so hyped up by trivial matters. I am pretty sure I'm gonna leave now. BustaMo actually took time out and showed concern to see what my issue was, yet you come on here and call me judgemental when I'm expressing a concern..seriously?...totally not cool in the slightest. Furthermore SE made both FFXII and XIII....when I feel concern for XIII it comes from the fact they just came out with a game I considered terrible. It doesn't matter if they're different games, it's the same maker. Of course I won't say it'll be terrible due to that reasoning when I haven't played it(I will play it), but again as I said before, I cannot say I'm not concerned. Which I guess none of it really matters since I won't be coming back here unless some serious power-hungriness is given up. It's like you guys try to control every little meaningless thing. I say this after being here maybe 3 days as well!!

totalimmortal, hun please calm down. Understand we're not going to nag you if you say anything negative. By all means you are entitled your own opinion on things most certainly. The only thing is is that if we feel people are getting too out of hand and start insulting others for opinions and such like, then we do step in so as to avoid any potential drama that may arise. That is all really. We just try to keep the flaming and rash arguments down to a minimum because we don't want tension between our members over silly things such as this. Also, we're not as strict as you may feel. I've seen and been to forums way worse than this. In fact, we're pretty laid back and lenient here compared to many other places. Anyhow, if you need something, need help, have any questions, feel free to PM me or any of the other two administrators and we'll do what we can to help. I would really hate for you to leave us. 
We're quite an enjoyable community and we're pretty easy to get along with us. Just give us a chance, okay? 
We're quite an enjoyable community and we're pretty easy to get along with us. Just give us a chance, okay? Go back to the first page. The OP is about FFXII and FFXIII sort of in a comparison(which if the comparison is legit then should be allowed) then I believe Dasher is his/her name writes we can't talk about XII...that struck me as a bit over-the-top considering discussing XII is not putting other people down, so I made a comment that that was a bit too strict and then this FaithCrest person comes up with a shitload of arrogance in the comment calling me judgemental because I made a concerned comment....yeah, that did really piss me off. So it's ok for mods to attack people's character? If they'd left the whole judgemental comment out of it I'd be ok, but as the case and point is they are being judgemental and certainly not handling it the way a mod should. I am grateful for you though to come and actually ask and show concern rather than dis me for it and I thank you for that, but idk, when mods are getting pushy over things like editing posts, writing big huge paragraphs instead of just answering the OP, someone showing concern over their actions, and comparing games(SE makes both so I don't understand the problem here...we're comparing the work of one company) it just feels a bit much. I feel like I'm walking over a mine field when posting here. So, I do not have a problem if a mod stops members from insulting one another, but that wasn't what I was speaking of as being strict here either. That would be understandable, but that's not the problem here...although a mod did insult me for saying they were too strict 
o_o Good gracious, I was just trying to help you understand. I wasn't just referring to this thread in particular, but the forum as a whole. I've not been following this thread because personally I don't really care to see what's going on in here. It's up to a moderator's discretion when it comes to handling their jobs and taking care of such situations. I'm sorry they pissed you off and I offered for you to PM me if there was a problem. If anything I was very polite to you, but if you're just going to sit here and bite my head off for trying to help you then, by all means. Leave. I don't want to sit here and waste my time for being overly-polite to you and offering you my assistance if you're just going to snap at me. I can't speak for the other moderators. but I will say stop being so sensitive. It's JUST an internet forum. As far as I can see, she wasn't insulting you, she just felt you were being judgemental towards how the moderators work here.
How was I being mean to you exactly? I believe I said thank you for showing concern and said exactly what it was that was my problem so you could understand and maybe cause it to be handled better....don't see where that goes as being mean to you. Anyway, if this is how it's gonna go when I make any comment especially toward any mod action then I will be leaving because that's ridiculous. You got upset because I explained the problem....and I'm too sensitive! Sorry, if that's the way you took it but I had no problem with you or your actions, it was what I explained that was the issue. I honestly can't see where you get I was "biting your head off" by saying I was confused/upset by a mods actions. I make a comment and instead of asking what I meant or what the issue was, they come up and call me judgemental.....how does that help? I can't ever question a mod's actions here? I don't see how that helps any or how it's supposed to be "fun" when you can't really write anything without being reprimanded over it. Like I said before, I don't have any issue with you and I don't believe I said that in any words before, but I apologize if that's the way you took it.
Yes, you are sensitive because you're freaking out over a moderator asking for people to keep the thread on-topic, which generally in most forums it's asked of you to do so. I can't see why on earth you think we're 'so strict' here when we pretty much let people say whatever the hell they want to say. You're the first person to actually get upset because a mod is doing part of their job by asking that thread keep on topic. That in itself amazes me, not to mention is an extremely trivial thing to get upset over. But I was trying to be kind and offer help, yet you go on a rant saying one of my moderators 'insulted' you which I fail to see. And then you turn around and accuse my staff of being 'powerhungry.' The irony in that is just amusing in itself. Question a mod's actions all you want, but in the end it's their discretion and if we (the admins) feel a mod has done any wrong, we'll reprimand them privately. From now on though, if you have a moderator complaint, then take it to PM. All you do is cause tension and rile people up if you complain so openly in public.
All but two sentences in the whole first post was mentioning about someone who hated FFXII to an extreme level. The others briefly commenting on FFXIII and mentioning what they wanted to know. At the end of the day, if 95% of the post is just going to end up ranting about FFXII and not actually talking about the main point then what's the point in the thread? I have no problem with people talking about FFXII, but I'm not letting the topic be derailed solely for people to rant about it. (Note: I am not a fan of FFXII myself so it has nothing to do with my opinion on FFXII).Oh dear heavens the mods on this site are really strict so much that I am kinda turned off to the site a tad sadlyAnywho, I am concerned about XIII and it's because of XII, so sorry can't leave that out of the topic if you guys want me to explain every sentence.
How? It's part of my job as a moderator to ensure that topics stay on topic and not to be derailed, which in all fairness, if people are going to use it to mainly rant about FFXII rather than to primarily discuss FFXIII then the topic is being derailed (like I also said, if they wanted to hate on FFXII then they were free to do so in the relevant section). What happens if all of a sudden someone who loves FFXII takes offence to the OP, then it's going to be derailed further and could lead to the possibility of flaming. As for Faith, she was merely stating that you shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions about the staff based on pretty much one thread. Like you've said, you've been here 3 days.
Please read my previous comments above.
I hardly she how she's being arrogant and certainly not attacking your character. If you think she's attacking you then you've really took it the wrong way and not how she was intending. Simply advising not to be so quick on passing judgement as you were. Whether or not you're implying the staff are strict based on other things to have happened I don't know, but please don't generalise your opinion on staff simply on what I said in this thread, especially without knowing the reason for which I requested the "FFXII hating" to stop. If you have a problem with me then you have a problem with me, either bring it to me through me in a PM or take it to an admin. You're not going to get in trouble for questioning why the staff did something as long as it's in private, but if you're going to openly criticise an individual or the staff as a whole in public then it's never going to be taken well is it?
I don't see where either of these have come from.
Again, if you have problems take it to a member of staff. As for the latter, comparing games and ranting about them are two different things. I have no problems with people comparing FFXII and FFXIII as long as it's done in an acceptable manner, in which some cases it has. However, using the large majority of the OP to rant about FFXII and very briefly mentioning FFXIII isn't comparing. Hence the reason I asked for the "FFXII hating" to stop.
In fairness, she didn't insult you. Whilst everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and rightfully so, I think this time you may have just taken what she said in an unintended way.That would be understandable, but that's not the problem here...although a mod did insult me for saying they were too strict
But your opinion on a mod action isn't the problem, it's the way you've gone about it. Like I've said several times, if you have a problem then just take it to that member of staff or an admin then it's dealt with in a far easier manner.
On that note, I apologise for the overall derailment of the thread but I'll close this now. Feel free to make the same topic as a replacement
Also, totalimmortal, if you still have a problem please PM either myself or an admin.
