I sense this thread being about the differences between IN and Xuo more than being about moderation. Moderation is often a necessity. Staff reserves the right to edit, remove or close your writings. One of the things important about forums is not the freedom of speech but the way the forums look to the outside world, new players often come to the forums first before logging in to the shard.
If a forum is full of leetspeak and flaming it looks like the shard is a "freebie" shard, upkeeping a set balance in how the forums appear is the moderators job, even if you dont agree with it, you post on their forums you go by their rules.

I sense the difference in IN and Xuo beeing about the way people pvp.
I havent played on IN but from what i heared id picture it as a friendly shard with balanced roleplay and mediocre pvp.
Xuo is a shard of competition and aggressive pvp.
Combination of these two makes Inx a shard with balanced roleplay, combat oriented as far as i see it.
Ofcourse this creates two camps, a camp that is used to fight for reason a camp that fights for fighting itself. The reason this clashes is thus merely the mindset of the players, maybe xuo players should understand that for some.. they dont play for "omgwins"ing over someone and In players should understand that there is a whole world in pvp.
Words of power is a xuo thing, its a evolution in pvp, like you craft a lockpick for a shut closet, there are always ways to problematise your oponent. This was accepted in xuo and people adapted to it as a part of the pvp, so it became the world of pvp.
That this goes against the more roleplay oriented camp is logical but can be easily adapted to by the creation of something far better!
wor! in other words, words of roleplay. You just insert lots of random roleplay texts in your other rp text keys recording.
Then when a xuo player tells you something like: "ima bbqrox joo"
You can reply by: "dosth not kill me sir" wich is then followed by your combo: "aye you may giveth me a coin for the service" "ergo, visa ve, concordiantly" "Man the tower the orcs are comething!" "Can we get a waitress" "oh john, its beautifull.. im pregnant" "This seems fishy sir" "will i dream?"

Good luck.

sorry what?

forums full of locked threads look just as bad to would-be noobies. and thats really all the threads about.

and tbh i disagree with you on IN-XUO pvp. but thats not for this thread.
