While I have not desire to see this forum over moderated and peopl getting banned for saying 1 thing out of place (I post/read BG and enjoy the debates/flame wars that can happen there).
But I don't suffer fools well.
I like to think I know this game reasonably well and I understand most of the forumlas behind magic and physical damage.
One think I like about BG is the fact that the mods know the game and moderate based on the game. So if there is an arguement over some aspect of the game, the people that argue against the 'accepted truth' despite there being overwhemling evidence agaisnt them and are unwilling to accept defeat (as you should at this point if it were a simple interlectual discussion) and continue it, leading to a big flame war. It is the people that would not 'drop it' despite being wrong that would get banned
This makes BG full of ***; but undeniably *** that know what they are talking about when it comes to the game (mostly).
I personally have a problem with the fact that some posters here (I will refrain from mentioning names) seem to enjoy the arguements that ensue from posting against the 'accepted truth' with no evidence to support their claims (imo basically trolling and/or shitting up perfectly good threads).
I understand that people need to question the 'accepted turths' of this game inorder for us all to achieve a higher understanding of game mechanics, or to spur more experienced players to explain things to newer/less knowledgable players.
But that really doesn't seem to be the aim of some people here; they seem to want to post outragous claims or derail good threads in order to get attention. And IMO those are the people you need to come down on hard. They spoil the forum for people who genuineely want to learn/teach people about the game and all become better players together.
N.B. I am not saying ban everyone that doesn't agree with me, I am saying ban those that seem to go into a thread to start a fight with no way to support their arguement/point (eg. they are not discussing, they are trolling).
Excuse spelling/grammar
