    There is a preference in your settings to attempt to censor words on WG, I'm not entirely sure how well it works though.  I do think tom has still addressed some issues with swearing/racial comments on a case by case basis, so if it's excessive then you may shoot a PM to him.

    Or by boards do you mean forums?  If so then that has also been addressed at times as well.

    You can turn on a filter to delete the swearing and I agree with what you said about standard vs premium.

    You have actually been responsible for much vicarious entertainment on my part so I have no issues with you and hope that you have further issues with the Dwarf in the future as I have a lot of free time and not a lot of fun blogs to read now that Lindsey is in Jail.

    Free Lindsey!!!!!!

    In my opinion, this is just weird. I think the idea at play here is to build the best site possible, and really very little else enters into it.


    I've heard enough to suggest that people don't want much to resemble the *hated* ToS in a few areas. A lot of it came out in the BAO conversations. Of course it is to build the best site... someone saw the potential that wasn't being lived up to had it been actively supported. But the things that did work well are also different, or people really want it to be different. Hence a shadow analogy seemed suited. Glad you are that way, but when some people have strong emotions when they think of the lack of support at ToS, I wonder and would find it normal for people to really want to one-up ToS. And you can't do that if you do the same thing as them in some areas, like BAO.

    So it's good you aren't that way, but to dismiss the possibility out of hand like that is pretty presumptuous. It's not like I said this site was made as a vendetta, to leave somoene else sobbing in the rainy gutter wondering why their site wasn't uber cool like this one is...

    though that would be a pretty ringing sign of success!

    I currently do not pay...If I do join the premier, it will be in order to get more games. The other bonuses are nice, but I wouldn't pay for those alone. Thus, I see the ten limit as a very good way for them to encourage more paying players.

    Is it worth pointing out that the blue link in "For more detailed in-game information become a premium member" on the grey/black background makes the words "premium member" totally unreadable?
