It's an elitist attidude, and people wonder why we dont get many new people coming?

It's absurd. Honestly. And do the moderators do jack about it? No. They dont. Look around. It's pathetic. I dont pay 60 bucks a year to have my experienced ruined by some abrasive guy who takes pleasure in hurting others.

I'm forced to stay here. Why? I have friends. Despite the massive corruption, there are a few hardworking coders and designers which break their backs to make us an awesome experience, then a few of us throw comments at them that arent even relevant. And they quit. I bet, if a select few people never existed within this community, it would be a better place for all.

I, myself, dread posting anything on these forums for fear of being flamed like that. I post something, and I get the response I dread.



And that, is the Graal translation of constructive criticism. From a Graal Kingdoms staff member.

I want your thoughts on what the community is like. I dont want any flaming, I just want honest opinions.
I agree with most, some I don't.

This is a big issue though, it's not the moderators fault.

In fact, the moderators moderate too much. Most threads in the Graal Main Forums are deleted/moved/closed for some purpose. It's very hard thinking of a thread that can fully fit just this forum because the communication center has 32894238472398 categories within it which are all dead.

The examples you posted don't even compare to what I've seen. I've seen globals fully abuse powers, insult others in front of the head honchos and get away with it. I've pointed out many examples on how globals can do whatever they want and act like a 10 year old child (most likely because they are under the age of 15). Professional is what graal is missing within it's globals. But we all knew that already
