benneh: I am assuming that football fantasy is not viewwd as a competing site (I was not even aware it was popular on POG). But I have no intention of playing devil's advocate and would like gambit and KruZe to answer this themselves, if possible.

Another question: if the greens tried to allow MU advertising, would red mods discontinue this new policy?

You have certainly banned people advertising turbo games on MU within the "Real Turbo Players Chat" skype room. I do not have the logs, but I remember feeling confused and put off by it.

i think they have a choice there

but if you want to be a super nit it might be correct to take Kruze's line

"lol"
-gambit

Don't know anything about what's going on, but here for the long drawn out discussion

Yes; this is not my imagination.

Oh really I banned them? Who did I ban?

I didn't.

Please stop with the lies.

Thank you for the response.

Kruze,

If I want to post somewhere advertising my game I'm running on MU, where may I do so? Would this thread be appropriate?

Henrik,

did I do something to you or you just want to troll me?

don't get it

I dont say lol to everything

read these two posts in the mod forum

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...4&postcount=14

nah just my usual keeping it real with a dash of troll, don't take it personally

Kruze: i did
you realize that you only got those responses because you specially brought it to their attention as part of your war against Thingy, right?

i stand by what i said in that thread

This is, frankly, a bizarre discussion. If you want to know why, it's because what the mods have to yet to say at any point today is "you make some good points." Going into self defense or "I'm rubber you're glue" mode is not productive.

there are always exceptions to the rules

if I had to guess, if we allowed all things thingy in here that the reds would be okay with our decision. Not sure, but I think that is what would happen

Sure go ahead.

Who originally took a firm stance to enforce the "no offsite linking" rule and expand it to "no outside POG WW game discussion or advertisement"?

oh yeah

those are kinda important

***New Policy Effective Immediately***

Link and promote your offsite games in this thread whenever you want.

Kinda hard to read them when I hasn't the permissions.

Me

but it was a stance on not self promoting and not soliciting our player pool

pretty shocked over here

It was meant for 72off, he can read them.

If, hypothetically, I accidentally posted it somewhere else instead, and you decided to delete it, would you as a mod tend to say "hey I deleted your post, it should go over there instead"? You have the capability to move posts, right?

I'm trying to get at "why did you snap-delete Tom's post about turbo stuff on MU, instead of either moving it, or deleting it and saying 'hey, post that over in the WW LC thread instead' to him."

Because that sure makes it LOOK like you're just deleting stuff as either a giant FU to Tom or to Thingy, and it's definitely a thing that happened.

If you just made a mistake and think "meh, I should have done X instead", that's fine, people make mistakes, **** happens, tell us "sorry I screwed the pooch on that one" and we can move forward.

I dont see it that way at all

All things Thingy/MU is completely fine in PoG

have at it

I think you should try to ask them.

Personally, the decision not to let Thingyman advertise has never bothered me at all; a lot of people seem to feel differently, however.

I am sure you (and KruZe) want POG to thrive as much as anyone; a backtrack might be a smart decision.

Or, to put it differently; should the reds agree, are there other reasons that would make you unwilling to reverse your policy?
Because whether it was justified or not, it is clear POG needs interforum co-operatioj more than MU does. The games are dry; allowing Thingy to ad will surely not hurt POG at this point.
