I was not talking about the internet specifically, so that assumption is untrue. I am merely stating the more power you have the more tempted you are to "intervene" and do whatever you like even when the rules state otherwise, which makes the whole system completely flawed on a forum. MVGame

in my eyes, if you guys want really a active forum, with clans and so so. tis system will cause more problems then will make "moderation" easier.

but anyway, lets talk in few months about it, ok?

Not if you rely on user contribution/meaning, then in the end dictatorship will kill you.

Its like with a good company, you can say the same about it, but imho its wrong to compare it with dictatorship.

In the end the admin does have the option to overrule whatever the general public asks for or demands since he has the power, so your argument is pointless.

who are the admins at this site?
marcus, ami, ntd and hicksi.

i think they judge fair and they will do everything to push this site and coh 2. i dont think they overrule anything when general public asks for.

but idd, this is just my personal feeling about this guys.

(dont ask me for remy!!! )

I bring this up, because your argumentation is losing a bit the thread.

We are five members at the top admin level, so dictatorship will never be a topic because its not possible that ONE admin can make a decision.

We maybe represent coh2.org as one person (whats not true, because its mainly the community), but in the end it will never be a "dictatorship" decision.

We already proved who we are, what we do and why we do it during the last 6 years of COH life (going to 7 now). If you were around during these years then I feel I don't have to prove anything about my seriousness, impartiality and loyalty to the community. What we want to do is just offering you the very best experience possible on the game you love to play

A dictatorship can consist of only one person, but can also be several members in a small group. I disagree as each of the 5 admins can edit, delete, change, or add anything to the site you'd like to without any consequences. If you truly wish to represent the community I would recommend setting up a poll system and following it.

If any abuse of the system were to happen it would probably be from people that are voting to moderate/ban, not from the admins.

Jump back to quoted post27 Mar 2013, 22:10 PMVonIvanbbb

I highly disagree, as the people who would vote to moderate/ban would have to have a STRONG backing to accomplish anything, and if the people want it, it is just, while the admins can do anything with the click of the button and without ever letting the community know as there is no tracking system to show who exactly was
responsible.

A pure voting system is idiotic. Oh hey, I have 10 accounts, let's get someone banned. I'd say that the admins should have the last word. I'd claim that the "number of ignores" should be used as a metric for where the admins should direct their attention and have no open voting about these things.

And a tracking system would help how?

I mean, given that they are admins and can do whatever they want - they would most certainly be able to manipulate any tracking systems.

I'm just going to say that you'll have to trust these people. They are providing you community interaction related a fantastic game - and they are doing it for free. They are actively developing this site and creating content for it. Heck, even the developers of the game are on this very forum. I trust the admins of this site to undertake sane decisions and never ban anyone without good reason (or do other nasty things).
