And if you wish to see the rules enforced here, it would (as i said) result in both being banned. We have provided both sides with their options and they seem to have both chosen what they want to do with it. We have heard from both sides that both are continuously harassing one another. There is no such thing as only 1 being banned in this scenario. Neither one of them are silly enough to escalate things to a level of being "banned". So instead, we get constant small harassment complaints from both when the ONLY thing either side has to do is block the other. They continue though. We can only assume they actually love one another as neither wants to stop hearing from the other apparently  And as for the forums, we have locked many many many a topics already. The result is that you all continue to make more with the same things. If they wish to continue to call one another out to each other, they can. When things escalate too much, us mods are here to moderate. I can assure you, we do know our jobs. But there is also such a thing as over moderation which makes forums boring. Little trash talk is not only good, but entertaining. We just won't let you cross the line  I suggest you take a zero tolerance approach from today forward. Everyone has been appropriately warned and if they fail to heed those warnings, ban them. Obviously I have a bias toward one side of this issue and I'm asking you to ban both sides if they continue. Let continued and persistent infractions that don't individually rise to the level of ban become ban-worthy in their totality. And it's not just the back and forth attempts at public shaming. There is a lot more that goes on, and I know you know what I am talking about, that should result in in-game bans. I'm willing to live with this game being the lawless wild-west. I'm fine with ignoring people that I don't wish to interact with. But what drives me nuts is the occasional "we're here to enforce the rules and make the game fair for everyone" rhetoric with no follow-through. Again, this is probably coming off more insulting than I intend it and I'm not directing it solely at you, Malice, especially because you haven't been knee-deep in this crap for as long as some people have. Also, don't lump other people in with "you all". If you look at the starter of most threads on this forum that become offensive you will find a staggeringly small number of people started them. Furthermore, that's why I would love to see the rules enforced to the letter. There exists the perception that certain people are allowed to do whatever they please while others are bound by these "rules". What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Either stop everyone from breaking the rules or stop no one. I really hope you (as a group) choose the former. The above speaks to your trash talking comment as well. Either let no one do it or let everyone do it equally. The moderation that has taken place in this forum to-date does not reflect that. Again, I've learned to live with this reality and all I'm asking for is either don't claim it is otherwise or actually make it otherwise. I think this is the best solution. When Ogonna and bestplayeroftheworld realise this is meaningless (not so much Ogonna now) then everything concerning this will be settled. If this involves banning either or both of them, then as j^8 said, this is what the mods/admins should do. I'm effectively repeating what j^8 said but it is what should happen if rules on the forum and game are being broken. All of us have evidence for this and it is clear that it could become a big problem, if not already. It seems Ogonna is not taking part in this as much now, which I have already mentioned, and this is a step in the right direction, although there is still a problem which needs to be resolved.

King, you have to read the caveat in the rules which stipulates that the rules do not apply equally to all people or at all times. He is probably right in asserting that your statements are wrong.

You also missed the caveat about how it's possible for the things that you think that you have seen to be faked so they are deemed to have not happened at all.
