Note to community:
There's a lot of bitching going on and there was a lot of infractions dealt out today. To the few involved posters that are actually worth something, keep in mind that you may be infracted when stepping over the line even if the other guy is a total moron.
To the rest of you, keep digging.
Today's lesson (and shameless plug): This was some good legislation. Bring it back.
Respectfully disagree. Chilled basic freedom of speech and resulted in uneven application despite diligent attempts by the AG and courts to do so fairly.
Tell me, isn't it an idiotic and contradicting situation that when you publish PM you're fine under Atlasia law, but you have problems with moderators?
No, in my opinion. Atlasia law enforces the rules of this game as those elected in this game legislate. However, the game exists on the private property of Dave. His rules are more important than anything else. While our little "society" may not have a problem with something, Dave will always have the ability to trump us.
I refer you to the banning of Libertas, which you were quite vocal about supporting. His conduct did not violate Atlasian law, but it violated what Dave was willing to put up with. Thus, Dave invoked his perogative as owner of this site to enforce his rules. We may not like either decision, but as long as we exist on his site, we must obey the rules.
