This is the Ironworks Forum. It is owned and run by Ziroc. He sets the rules and interprets them as he sees fit. What it is not is a democracy. Ziroc and the Mods will make the judgement calls and if asked, they will explain them. Sometimes they will make mistakes – after all they are human. Before shouting the odds at a decision you don’t agree with consider the fact that none of them is paid for what they do and the flack (or praise) that comes with it. As far as I can see, they do it for our benefit and because they care for this community. If anyone does not like the way things are done here the solution is simple – stop visiting and posting.

I have to agree with that one Mouse. I feel like this is kind of like moving to a foreign land. Things may not be the same "rule wise" as the place you came from. If you cannot conform to the wishes of the "King", put your signs down and stop protesting, as this land is a GIFT, a FREE gift might I add. And the King works very hard to provide this place for us. Respect the King and his laws, or find another land to live in that suits you better. Personally, I love this Land. I find the laws amenable and extremely tolerant and fair.
Basically, it really bothers me when I read an offensively worded complaint to our King (Ziroc). I think to myself, umm, hey, this isn't a frikken government, this is not a real "land" its a frikken website. Some guy (Ziroc) sat one day and thought up all this, and made it so, and made this forum for us out of the goodness of his heart, cause he doesn't get paid hardly squat for all his efforts, and I think that has to be taken into consideration. Even if Ziroc made a rule that I did not particularly like, I would still respect it, as again, this is HIS WEBSITE!!!!! Another example is being a guest at a person's house. Is it right for one to sit there and gripe that maybe somebody was served an extra bologna roll-up
than you were. Do you say, Hey! This is not fair, I did not get a fair amount of bologna roll ups!!.
And I actually don't care because I hate beef bologna! Why are you serving beef bologna anyways? Is a pathetic choice, I much prefer....," etc.
Does that make any sense?
