Dialogues with moderators 2.

I see that the conversations have become more polite. This is a good thing. Now, let's all calmly discuss this, without irony, etc. Regarding the aforementioned forums on the same topic: the Hive was distinguished by the fact that it had more off-topic discussions and a much warmer and more pleasant atmosphere. If it ever fit the three epithets that Xaker used, it was only then. This made it special, not just a collection of tournament schedules and game information. And we need to continue to build on that. I can't help but notice regarding the phrase from "The Dog's Heart" – it doesn't quite fit here. There's a saying that would be much more appropriate: "Don't count your chickens before they hatch." Let's be realistic – until the forum starts to resemble the aforementioned adjectives more closely, no one will consider it as such, and they will be absolutely right. To make the portal better, we don't just need to think of it as already good; we need to do something, and the phrase from the movie confirms this, rather than what Xaker attributed it to. Furthermore, Zybr and WhiteLizard said everything very well, and I completely agree with them, for which I respect them and give them a +1. Regarding morality – morality is different for everyone. But to react so strongly to the discussion of social phenomena such as prostitution (the oldest profession, by the way xD)? This is abnormal. Maybe we are expressing our concern for our Motherland in this way and discussing its problems? If there were topics with a lot of profanity and discussions about how users like to engage in BDSM, then it would be worth banning such topics, and even the users, but it seems we don't have such perverts, etc. Right? There were quite fair bans when some users went too far, but deleting such large topics as "Haven of Debauchery," which may have contained some vulgarity (though rarely, usually people were just messing around, but that's not an obscene phenomenon), but mostly contained some moments from the life of the forum, can only cause righteous anger among users who actively used this topic. And the bans of users who expressed their dissatisfaction with the actions of the coordinator were also not particularly pleasing. Further. If we, even among ourselves, start discussing what is happening on the forum, it means that the way we communicate on it matters to us. And that's good, if you want the portal to be the way you so vividly described. And one more thing. You said that, in your opinion, the "Off-Topic" section is not needed at all. It is clear that there are different categories of people among the forum members. There are people who come here, look for contact information for players, and that's where their life on the forum ends. There are also those who come here mainly to participate in tournaments, and also engage in some other forum activities that don't produce much results (like guild management, for example). And then there are those who spend a lot of time in the "Off-Topic" section (mainly young people). The latter don't do much either, but they communicate very actively; some play Heroes, some don't. In your opinion, should the latter not exist at all? And will the forum be better without them? Do you even believe that? And even if so, then it would have been necessary to immediately, on the main page, highlight in large letters that there is no place for such a category of people here. P.S. There is nothing wrong with the word "dick." It is a letter from the ancient Russian alphabet, and the fact that someone puts some kind of indecent meaning into it is another matter. If someone thinks that a dictionary and a male sex organ are the same thing, what can I do? Should I start making typos?))

Unfortunately, our rules are not perfect, but we shouldn't take advantage of that...

Here! This is something I couldn't help but notice. Mr. Coordinator, this applies to you as well as to us
