should be deleted, because they are spam, or not about
the game, or complains about the staff, which should be
sent with PMs not posted on the forum

No message board is spam free, or flame free. That's basicly a law, so to speak. Not even I could stop spam from being posted, or stop people from complaining/flaming others. Forums don't always mean trouble though. Sometimes it's a good way for people to get reconized for their abilitys. Not having a message board of some kind is a bad thing. Especially for online games, because message boards (if run correctly and well) will help to draw people there who sometimes just post on the message board because they think it is fun, to actually playing the game. That's almost basically how it was for me. I upgraded my account really for the main reason on posting on the forums. Not so much for playing Graal. But no look, I'm an admin. These can of things happen all the time. Moderation is needed, true. But most people who are given modship are well suited to handle the task of modship. Usually people with adminship have very sound reasoning and convidence in the people they choose to give modship to.
