Should we revive the Flame wars?

[jiminski]

People voted with their feet. The difference in the number of people that play games and those that participated in FW was enormous. Games won.

that is very true, but the point i make is regarding the implications for all the changes, not this one specifically.

As i have said, i shed no sincere tear for the loss of Flamewars... I fear for what it bodes. ..

any way, well done all, congratulations on your victory and i bid you farewell

[TheBro]

So now where will all the trolls go?

[Timminz]

I fear for what it bodes. ..

What it bodes? What is the worst case scenario, in your mind?

i bid you farewell

At least this time it was the actual site that chased you off, and not just some drama-queen.

i am not sure what you mean little fella, but you appear to be under some misapprehensions.

Sorry. Forget the second part. It was an afterthought anyway. What I'm actually interested in, is what you think this whole fiasco "bodes".

And please keep your belittling nick-names to flame wa... oh right.

you lost your chance by trying to score a point without knowing what it was.. my friend

actually, he did score a point and he does know what it is (so does frop)... so, why not just answer the question instead of dancing about? incase you forgot, he asked,

i too am interested... however, if you simply mean what you posted earlier, than i agree...

It is very much within the remit of the site to do exactly what it wants without discussion - might is right! It can do what it wants and i do not argue against its right to do so.

But if you consistently piss-off your customer-base it will gradually leave. I am only here as some silly bugger kindly bought me a premium against my advice

* if they are willing to do it, who is to say they will not eventually do it to you!?

very valid point... the only thing worse than this, that i can think of, would be the return of wicked or delia...-0

Jimi, I missed your posts the first time you abandoned the community, but it seems as though you only came back to moan about things you have no say in. It's a shame you left.

i'm gone again, enjoy your last taste.

FLAME WARS must be brought back!
mod edit
Warning-warning-warning, don't call anyone "pointed ear alien," you'll get a warning by "Night Strike." Don't call a French-Canadian a "FRENCHIE," after some uneducated idiot insulted Americans. Yes, this has happened to me.
Bring back our FREEDOMS of FREE SPEECH and FREE EXPRESSIONS to slam our fellow players and bad Moderators.

Freedom of speech is not applicable in any way. There is no such thing as freedom of free expressions.

Freedom of speech is not protected by the Constitution on private website forums.

You're right, FREEDOM of SPEECH is NOT guaranteed on forums like this.
What we want is to be able to have a thread, where we can voice our outrage at players and even about moderators who seem too sensitive to criticism.
The way things are now, we can have a particular moderator who uses his authority to pass his own agenda or hatred for specific players and posters. So, where do we go from here then? Just be silent? Ask for a refund of our premium payment?
There's something called customer service and now the last vistages of it is being left to those moderators who may have an axe to grind or a political philosophy that may be offensive to some of us.
Night Strike can edit this and edit that to hide the harmless rants I have said. That's his perogative and power that he uses.

In all seriousness, if you're that upset by the way the website is run, you should vote with your feet.

this is a thread about reviving flame wars... not General Stoneham's little problem with NS that i have been reading about all over the GD today... welcome to the GD... it takes a very sharp mind to tread the waters of the GD and stay alive while eviscerating those that posses less gray matter than you do... flame wars is a softball compared to the big leagues of the GD...-0

should we start to make bets on how long it takes for this to get banned?
1 week

as many others have said, Yes we are all paying customers to some extent, but the forums as well as live chat are bonuses to what you are actually paying for. And as bonuses can be taken away at any given moment, without notice from this sites owner. With that said this is as follows what you are paying for when you buy your premium membership from conquerclub website.:
It is not easy to develop and maintain an online game like Conquer Club. Hundreds of hours must be spent programming, and dollars must be spent on web hosting, support staff, gourmet peanut butter and other expenses. Please support Conquer Club by upgrading to Premium Membership. It costs only $25 USD per year.

In return for your support, Premium Membership earns you the following benefits:

* Play UNLIMITED simultaneous games
* Play thrilling real-time SPEED games
* Create password-protected PRIVATE games (which Free members may join, too)
* Have a GOLDEN rank icon display next to your name
* Feel that WARM and FUZZY feeling you get from supporting a website that you love

have a great day

when you buy something in a shop you pay for the product you are buying, not for help by the workers there, yet they still help you. its called customer service. some mods know what this is, others dont.

It just bodes. You see stuff and you know it bodes. A twin-tailed comet bodes.

I say "no"

[whitestazn88]

isn't there another thread about this?

I say C.C. should take off the fricken P.C. dress and grow a set of balls. No one makes anyone read the flame wars forum, if you dont like it, dont enter it, you know, its like the damn advice they give about foe-ing someone you dont like.

Hmmm... Maybe they haven't thought about it that way. Excellent point.

[wcaclimbing]

Just thought it'd be good to point out that NO has almost twice as many votes as YES.

[karel]

To me flame wars is pretty fucking stupid........glad to see it go



Yea go ahead and edit it as i'm sure you will *omg i said a swear word*

[FredVIII]

thats because most of the people that dont care either way voted no

if flame wars was revived those 32% of people that voted yes could have their fun flaming and all of the people that voted no could easily ignore the forum (its like az said, no one is forced to read flame wars)

shame it wont happen
