First, a separate question for Xaker. From a logical point of view, how can two rules coexist simultaneously: "The actions of HeroesWorld moderators and coordinators are not subject to discussion" and "if a HeroesWorld user disagrees with their legitimacy (...), they can send a private message to the HeroesWorld administration within two weeks of the actions they consider illegitimate"? How can you complain if complaining is not allowed? Or is a complaint not considered a discussion? :) Now, let's move on.

But in general, I want to say that you need to emulate the leaders. Therefore, the following are listed first: http://forum.heroesleague.ru/ - Hero League (...) And in comparison to them... our forum is definitely not decent. They really value the absence of spam.

The people there are decent and respected, and they are strong players, but, strangely enough, they have more spam in the section for the 4th game than anyone else. I agree that it is a little different there, more playful and not scandalous (although, how can I say it, the discussion about the mod was quite heated), but spam is spam. Therefore, you can emulate them, but keep in mind that they spam with the same activity and enthusiasm; they are just older and have a higher level of culture, but this criterion does not depend on the forum. I'll say in advance that there is no need to cite THEIR forum organization as an example; we still have our own playground.

however, I want to note that we have our own separate, beautiful, fairy-tale world of HeroesWorld.

I don't want to upset you, but that hasn't been true for a long time. Only "separate" remains of the three words.

Life can be lived, that is exactly what this section was created for, but as we have already found out, there are some restrictions here.

Can you give me a quote from the rules that specifies these restrictions? I just reread it, and I don't see it... :( In general, dear Xaker, I want to remind you of the case with the avatar of one of the female users (it seems to be Ksara). This is the second time you have stepped on the same rake, but if the situation was more local then, now everything is much more serious. If you are a supporter of the rules, then please follow them yourself. According to the current state of affairs and the current rules, there is NO prohibition on discussing even prostitution. The rules, in my opinion, should be written for a fool, and not as we have now, with an emphasis on moral and ethical norms, which essentially amounts to the subjective opinion of a moderator/coordinator. Moreover, if you approach it from the position of a "fool," it is bad for both the moderator and the user, because 50-90% of all posts in a topic include 15% off-topic/spam, and 30-50% of all posts have more than 30% off-topic/spam, which means they need to be edited/deleted according to the rules (the numbers are approximate, just based on observations of the 4th game section, which should be one of the quietest). On the other hand, in the notorious "spam" section, you can't swear, post spam links, or post pornography; everything else is allowed according to the rules. If you disagree, please provide a quote from the rules.

In the spam section, you can discuss topics that do not fall into any other section of the forum. Initially, this was the "What Fans of Heroes Love" section, but due to the overload of various topics, the current section was created. In general, there should not be such sections on this type of portal. But since users really wanted to talk about various topics, such a section still appeared. This provides a fairly high level of freedom. But sometimes, as we have already seen, freedom turns into impudence, and measures have been taken.

This is called: finding a convenient explanation for yourself... I just don't understand... the chat is not working again, the forum is periodically unavailable, there have been almost no moderators for a long time, and, in my opinion, it is quite logical that users, especially those who have come to love HW, have tried to revive it themselves and make it more pleasant for themselves. Since everyone has different tastes, this is where the inconsistencies arise. But in this case, the administration (I don't want to write moderators/coordinators) should only eliminate critical outbursts, and in a way that is not obvious. But it turned out as always, and the authors of the posts in this topic are a good example of this, or rather, the state of their accounts (it seems that two are banned, one is now blue (was green), and the rest have probably not yet been found to be punished). In conclusion, I want to say that as long as it is easier for the same coordinators (sorry, I'll combine them, although all three "bright blue" are different people) to ban an undesirable person than to fundamentally (do you feel the pun?) solve the problem, the situation will remain the same... and perhaps it will even roll faster into the abyss, and I'm afraid that HW will lose much more than it can gain. With remaining respect, ZYbr
