They are however a troops choice so taking them doesnt cause any problems and they certainly shoot better than regular guardians. In all fairness, most of the Eldar stuff isnt that cheap.Admiral-Badruck wrote:MIJ... sorry to say but Dire |Avengers are not cost effective IMHO

liberally around above post so no-one gets their panties in a bunch. Pikey, you crack me up!! You should be on the comedy circuit mate.Either that or you could respect other people's opinions and just have an adult discussion on the topic.

It's a major conflict of interest and it can cause all sort of problems if people think there is moderating bias (and even more if there actually is). I'd really recommend to you not to threaten people with your moderating powers (especially in public) and don't moderate in a thread that you are actively engaged in. When you do use your powers, try to be professional and neutral. It can really come round and bite you in the behind something fierce if you don't.me_in_japan wrote:oi, watch it with the personal insults, old bean.

My question for the forum users is: Was I out of line? I will, of course, abide by your judgement.Me_in_Japan wrote:either of what things? I only mention "getting medieval with my powers of moderation". Thats one thing, not a plurality.Ummm... just FYI, you really shouldn't do either of these things.
How is it a conflict of interest? i read a post by a forum user that I thought was inappropriate. As a moderator, I have a responsibility to inform a user if he makes an inappropriate post. The fact that it was about me does not make this any less necessary.It's a major conflict of interest and it can cause all sort of problems if people think there is moderating bias (and even more if there actually is).
Moderators are supposed to use their powers of moderation to maintain standards in forums. I chose to warn Rob before I went ahead and did something like send an official warning or delete his post or similar. In fact, I cant imagine ever doing either of those things, as Rob is a good guy and a friend of mine, and a verbal message is all he would ever need. The whole tone of the warning was light hearted. A PM would immediately have been construed as much more serious and personal, and that wasnt the message I wanted to deliver at all.I'd really recommend to you not to threaten people with your moderating powers (especially in public)
I am engaged in a large number of threads in this forum. I read everything posted. If I am interested in any of the topics, I reply. If I were to abide by your suggested rule, I would either never moderate anything, or, alternatively, never post anything. Neutrality and fairness do not equate to distance and isolation.don't moderate in a thread that you are actively engaged in.
My final comment of:breaks down neatly into two parts. the first, "this applies to insulting anyone" was intended as a genuine message. Forum user should not make personal attacks against other forum users. Against their armies, or perhaps play style, sure. Against them personally, no. The second part "but especially to insulting me. (cos im special, obviously...)" was what we call a joke. This is something made by people who have a sense of humour.This applies to insulting anyone, but especially to insulting me. (cos im special, obviously...)
