Thinking about the problem of the gray text, which has been bothering me for a long time, I came to two conclusions:
1) Previously, everyone was in one chat, so communication could be conducted there.
By the way, here's about that point. In the last expedition, which took place in Dark Erathia, Ment and Heroist and I did exactly that. We created our own chat and discussed actions there so as not to slow things down. And when I played with other guys using voice chat, battles outside of the main campaign (maybe even with a slightly more complex system) were quite easily resolved in about an hour. But there, we played in sessions. And the campaign wasn't played as one continuous piece until the GM got tired; it was divided into modules.
2) More importantly than the first point, the approach to battles was generally simpler before; there was no need to use various MMO techniques with tanking, healing, and damage dealing. Everyone just ran forward, waving their swords and clicking on enemies. However, the increased difficulty of battles in the expedition forced people to resort to carefully describing and considering each move.
Another point played a role here, by the way. None of the players described each of their moves. They only described the overall battle strategy to the GM, and he implemented it. As far as I remember from my own experience as a GM, all the calculations and artistic text formatting (to the extent of my literary abilities, hehe) took from one to three hours, unless something happened during the battle that could make the players reconsider their approach and force them to issue a master post in the middle of the battle.

When someone bans random people for fun, supposedly because they are clones of someone else, everyone turns a blind eye to it, because "it's not my problem, what do these no-names care about," but somehow they only wake up when it concerns them, their friends, or just regulars in the social section, which turns into a loud discussion about the validity of these actions.
Maybe I think that Tox wasn't banned for no reason, and half of the participants in the section should have earned a ban a long time ago. Maybe not just one.

There was another factor at play, by the way. None of the players described each of their moves in detail. They only outlined the overall battle strategy to the GM, who then implemented it.
Yes, that's true. But with more complex battles, this isn't a whim, but a necessity.

In general, I’ve been thinking...
Every time I ban someone who isn’t a spam bot, I’m tormented by doubts for a long time about whether I’m doing the right thing, especially if I personally dislike the person — then it starts to feel like I’m banning them not because they deserve it, but purely out of personal animosity, and instead of moral satisfaction, I start to feel pangs of conscience. So, probably from now on I’ll limit myself to censorship, and points will only fly to spam bots. Sorry, Siv, for this decision, sorry, guys, for making you recall the not-so-great times of ХВ with my actions, but you’re right — a healthy atmosphere is better than flawless rule enforcement.
Another motive for this decision was that I once again remembered a story about a certain chat where the moderator cohort was very strong and they mercilessly chased everyone who ignored the rules, and in the end the chat died out completely, leaving only a select few. I don’t want that to happen on ХВ.
P.S. Tox wrote to me, said he’ll talk to the Creator about an unban. When/if he gets unbanned, he’ll still be on my ignore list, but I’m a stand-up guy and I’ll keep my word, even if he starts getting out of line (unless you yourselves from the whole fludilka ask me to kick him out, basically).
А, вот почему.

Yeah, but with more complex battles, it's not a whim, but a necessity.
Well, if battles are played through a forum, then yes. But if the participants gathered in a chat at a designated time, it wouldn't be necessary. Then everything would go faster. Or if you assign one player to be responsible for managing the team. But that's not much different from GM-managed battles. Although I enjoy being a tactical leader.

Unfortunately, my energy has waned over the past 24 hours, so I would like to express my support for Koshi's latest post here.

I used to think that moderators were no longer needed a few years ago. You served well and had your time, but now you either need to be replaced by a bot that will deal with spam, or be completely abolished. The rules and laws of the forum are not immutable universal physical constants established by God, but rather frameworks invented by rather dim-witted people for the relative standardization of communication between themselves (in reality, copied without much thought from a million other forums). But a small community of familiar people regulates itself; there will never be equality and mutual support in it as long as some users are ordinary people, and others carry on their belts the means to suppress and destroy the will of others. Unfortunately, moderators will forever remain garbage in the eyes of the average user, until they retire. Simply because their very existence is contrary to nature and reasonable humanism.

Outdated (
No, actually, that's not quite right. It's useful to have an "emergency button" for all sorts of situations. Plus, there are all sorts of minor tasks, like "move that message, help that user, rename that topic," and so on. Moderators have tools that you wouldn't just give to users by default, but sometimes you need to use them, rather than asking the Creator every time.
As a means of total control, of course, it makes no sense.

It seems there isn't a direct connection between these slang terms... And even an indirect one is rather tenuous.

I understand, but "мусор" (mussor) is just slang, while "мент" (ment) is the actual term for a police officer, and a traffic cop can also be a police officer. Maybe they should have called themselves "Мусор" (Mussor)? It sounds a bit more respectable. )
