I don't believe I'm being "preferential" at all. I'm a strong believer that this place would be a chaotic mess if people posted whatever they wanted wherever they wanted and I'm simply trying to help make this forum function better by putting topics where people interested in them will be easier to find them. I didn't move that thead on anybody's request; I saw it and I moved it of my own accord. It's been awhile, but I recall I've abliged you in your requests to move some threads to their correct places before too so I'm a bit surprised you're throwing a fit over me moving that thread.
Maybe you feel I'm being preferential by moving some of the posts from that thread to this thread to ask the question of the community, but again, I don't think I am being preferential in that either. It's my belief that satchel is probably the only one who is really bothered by these threads and if he is then maybe someone will convince him that it's not that big a deal. Personally, I don't really care where they go and I don't think they're that big of a deal, but other than maybe asking him to try to be a bit nicer so as not to make people feel uncomfortable, I don't myself feel like arguing with him over it, I'll let others do that if they wish. Or maybe I'm wrong and a bunch of people will say no, it'd be best if they were elsewhere while next to one argues against that. I'm simply trying to flush out what the truth is.
Maybe you feel I'm being preferential in the topics I move and to that I'll admit that I am guilty. I'm simply not going to go after every topic because, frankly, I've got better things to do in life. However, I do consider myself the point moderator on online leagues since I probably take the strongest interest in it and I'd like the general OOTP community to feel as though the online league sub-community is a friendly and respectful segment. Why? Well, it's my belief that if the rest of the members see the online league community as such then more of them will be more likely to try an online league out. Sure, we've got plenty of people already, we don't
need more, but I do feel like people are missing out when they say, "well, I'd try an online league, but I don't like how... whatever". Now for most games the common issue people take with multiplayers is that they're rude and childish and what not and we probably haven't had that problem since maybe 2006, but I do feel like a small part of it is feeling like you can leave a post wherever you feel like it and I do realize it bothers at least some people so I try to help pick up those threads and put them where they belong.
