    why should we have to change channels to participate in an impromptu contest? mindless drivel (as well as good conversations) goes on in global 1, why not something constructive?

    It feels more like a prison when playing TSO. Got no free will when Mods are around. If you state your opinion about something you get banned as well.
    rgc you are one of the more level headed people on this game. if you see a problem too, i definitely believe it. i would suggest you, or anyone with specific issues with certain mods, private message Susu directly. i sent some training suggestions (from personal experience being a mod in other games.) Concerns will carry more weight if coming from people who *haven't been banned.

    No. Bad idea. I've seen people getting banned for stating there opinions and talking about the issues. Instead of listening they get rid of the problem by banning them so that way they can't talk.

    I "hear" that you are looking for an answer from the mods.
    Still around from time to time.

    not really moonlime, just expressing my opinion. its not up to the mods anyways, the rules come from the BBs

    rgc, im not saying do it in public, im saying private email to Susu, the BB who is over the mod program. why would BB ban someone for expressing concerns in private?

    In correct. If I was talking about it here, I would be posting Proof and crazy stuff like that.

    Not really. Rather keep mouth shut.

    The issue is that you (MikeOkHertz) are a bully. it is evident when you take over the trade channel for your giveaways and DEMAND a thank you. Yes, it is excellent behavior to thank someone for a great deal, but to DEMAND it is just as rude as not acknowledging the great deal received.
    It was also evident when my 13 year old son first started playing and posted something in trade that he was selling. All he said was he was selling something. He did not say the cost. 2 minutes later, he received a rude pm from YOU stating that he was a "stupid noob that didn't know anything about selling". Instead of correcting him in his wrongdoing, you continued you assault on him, instead of educating him the "proper" way to conduct trades in trade channel. The funny fact is, i see DOZENS of trade posts everyday where the seller announces that they are selling something. They don't name their price. They just say "x amount of yy for sale. posted"
    Needless to say, you get NO respect from me. You might get the "respect" from your Pavlovian Dogs during your giveaways, but get nothing from me. Enough said. PEACE.

    kingduuude is exactly right in his assessment of the situation. it goes much further and deeper however.

    6 months ago i suspected a person of creating multiple accounts and asked in trade tab how to report them as i i was rather new to the game and had heard others in trae tab talk of reporting them. MikeOkherz and another player immediately stated insulting me berating me and abusing me verbally. One of them said to "fill my mouth with marbles and he'd take a full swing with a gold club" Mike said that he used to e a prison guard and that i was a rat. and in the pen they know how to deal with rats. Since when did we as civilized people let the dregs of society dictate how we are to behave. They both ignored me per the chat funtionality and continued to demean me and persecute me from behind their shield.

    Fast forward to last couple of weeks. For most, I see no problem with giving away free stuff. Perhaps it'd be better suited to have a specific channel for such events. In trade tab, this has evolved into MikeOkhertz monopolizing the trade tab and bullying everyone that does not bow down to his supposed authority. Every day he posts a link to some site and says,"Click here and tell me what you see." I've never read any official rules for this site. I usually follow my common sense. Others have little of this. Some people are so enthused by whatever trinkets that are given away that they instead take to abusing players in defense of someone giving away miniscle amounts of various items. Now, I don't now what these sites are, but I'd bet that there is a rule about referring people to outside sites while in chat. They may be pay per click sites, where he gets a penny per click. They may be sites set up to inject a virus (Trojan) to anyone visiting them. idk. Seems very sketchy to me. At the very least, these giveaways should have a channel that is not trade, that anyone that wants to do them can go there and have at it. Not pick and choose who will be ostracized in trade tab on the whim of an belligerent, offensive, biased, undiplomatic, fickle, maniacal tyrant!

    And btw, I was there when kingduude's son was insulted and abused by MikeOkhertz. and when it happened several people that seem to always show up at his giveaways jumped right in and laughed and conjoled the new player to "buddy up" to MikeO. This is not a friendly environment. Let them all go somewheres else and do whatever they want. Not pick on innocent people and bully them.

    03:31] [Equal] MikeOkhertz: Don't let the cry babies get the freebie give aways banned. Cast your vote on the poll that the mods set up. forum.thesettlersonline.net/threads/20602-Player-Giveaways-and-Contests
