First off, let me start by re-posting my email, community@mmorpg.com, and reminding that this is a perfect, valid reason to use it!  No account will ever be banned for emailing me concerns about the site.  No account has ever been banned for emailing me outside of real life threats or illegal content.

Now that that's out of the way...

The MMORPG.com moderation team is not in any way related to our advertisement team.  Moderators and, heck, myself, do not know what ads are going up until we see em, just like you guys.  Moderators - and again myself - are not influanced, given instructions, or paid for moderation based on advertisements or any other scheme.  Moderators are strictly observed to guarantee they are providing unbias service, and if they are not, they are let go.

The actions and deletions on the Age of Conan forums lately have been based purely off the rules of our site: no trolling, no spamming, no flaming, etc.  MMORPG.com allows negative opinions and posts, what we don't allow is spam of those posts, posts baiting others to break our rules, posts insulting other users, and unsubstantiated game attacks (spamming a forum with "this game sux!" does no good; please tell us why it sucks :)).  This is evident, I believe, by the fact that there are still undeleted posts in the Age of Conan section that are purely negative, but do not break our rules.

For example, issues with preorders.  Issues with billing.  This whole thread wants their 5$ back.  In fact, while there are deleted posts in various threads, the last deleted THREAD I can find is 267 threads back, and that was a duplicate post from an account seemingly created just to bash AoC.

If your post or thread is deleted and you feel it did not break our rules, as said above, please email me.  Please! I want to help :) Otherwise, I will keep an eye on the AoC forum and to ensure that the moderation continues to be unbias and professional.

Reminder guys, this is the general discussion area to discuss SWG current.  Please keep pre-CU discussion in the Veteran forum.

Hello, hello!  Sorry I'm late to the party - I'm in a little hotel in Nowhere, Texas for a couple of days ;)

In regards to deletions regarding the NDA: as released by Funcom, "We will hold the Closed Beta NDA for everyone but journalists until launch, but you are allowed to openly communicate about your experiences up to level 13. We still have many additions and improvements to the game prior to launch, as you will surely see by playing in the next couple of weeks. Even the early experience will improve greatly in the upcoming period, so we urge you to speak about it in public should you wish to."  If you receive a warning or ban for content before level 13, please email community@mmorpg.com.

In regards to negative/troll posts about AoC: MMORPG.com is not the opinion police and we're not going to delete posts for being negative.  We WILL delete posts for breaking our Rules of Conduct, be it by flaming (ex. insulting people who do/don't like the game, calling other users trolls, etc.), trolling (ex. posting that the game sux on every thread), NDA breaks (ex. talking about gameplay at level 30), etc.  If you do not understand or agree with a warning/ban issued against you, please email community@mmorpg.com again :).  If you feel that another user is breaking our RoC and their post needs removal, please notify the moderators via the "report" tool.

Think that covers the bases - for further discussion you are welcome to contact me at - oh, you know the address!

For any issues related to forum bans or warnings, please email community@mmorpg.com :)

Hey guys!  Just wanted to let y'all know that I'm looking into this and the user(s) involved will be handled correctly.

Congrats to Godliest, newest title holder! :)

Hey guys!

After a 3 year lifetime on MMORPG.com, this thread has a lot of history and a lot of information.  That being said, the most recent posts have been veering way off topic and into realms unneccesary for this forum- because of that we're going ahead and locking, but not deleting, this thread.

You are welcome to email me at community@mmorpg.com with any questions or concerns.

Have you verified that you are checking the right email account, and have you checked to see if your email program/site is spam filtering it?  Give me an email at community@mmorpg.com and we'll work it out!

We're working on several clipping/word wrap issues with IE - it'll get a bit better/worse over the next few days while they play with the code :)

MMORPG.com is a website for hundreds of MMOs; I'm not sure which game you're playing, and thus have no clue on how to help you ;)  What game are you in?  Have you tried posting in that game's specific forum for help?

We also have a news feed going in the live chatroom, courtesy of moderator Woopin :)

Uh oh! I'll tell admin :)
