http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=86 already is threads with profanity and substantial flaming. we not mind the way things is... in fact, we likes when some poof shows such lack o' imagination and brain power that they gotta be vulgar to get point 'cross... is quickest way to figure out who should be ignored, but point is that most game companies likes to keep things so that kids and old people not find offensive or inappropriate

"I think outlined rules have to be overly strict in order to facilitate room for judgement, though still allowing judgement to be ultimately and justifiably be in the administration's hands. " these is obsidian boards, and administration of boards and application of "rules" is in their hands regardless of what such rules say. initially posting rules that seems draconian serves no purpose at all save that people always complain more when they thinks that they is somehow loosing an entitlement... from a pr perspective, is always easier to be generous with a harsh rule than it is to try rewrite ever more increasingly restrictive rules. we recall how the ip mods loved to link to the board rules... rules which not have no real meaning in light of fact that they was pretty ambiguous and in recognition that each and every mod seemed to interpret those rules different. linking such rules and even having such rules is pointless save that they is expected

people is much more willing to accept restrictions after they has been the victims of other folks exercising their "liberties." if obsidian wants to crack down on folks hard they could not hope for a better start. HA! Good Fun!

one cannot help but suspect that some folks is trying to see just what the real limits of board rules concerning profanity and decorum actually is. seems like a silly way to go 'bout it, but at least it gives obsidian a chance to set limits sooner rather than later. HA! Good Fun!

"For all those of you who thinks Star Wars KOTOR2 will be good think again because all of the past games that black isle have worked on in the past were mostly overrated and were not as fun as people thought they were. " how can a game not be as fun as we think it is? if Gromnir thinks that ps:t was very fun and that iwd2 was not much fun, then that is exactly what they was for Gromnir. black isle games may not have been as popular as some suspect, but saying they weren't as "fun as people thought they were," is sorta silly. until we hear what obsidian is up to, Gromnir gots no comment on potential success or failure of project... save to note that if kotor2 is the project, it will sell initially, regardless of what obsidian actually develops. we sure not gonna start guessing where such a thing would rank on a hypothetical fun-o-meter. as to relative merits of reviewers

is this a first attempt at beings ironic on obsidian boards? HA! Good Fun!

not allowing argument with mods may effectively end any debate simply by their choice of posting in a thread. is this a good thing? *shrug* again, the rule is meaningless 'til we see how it is applied. HA! Good Fun!

rules w/o context is near meaningless... 'specially when the folks posting the rules is the ones enforcing those rules. you gots lots of rules, but until we see how they is enforced they is not helpful to us. HA! Good Fun!
