My wisdom on this:
One of the main community values here is peace. Peace and Mercy. We value peace above all desire to argue, fight and gossip. We want peace even if we haven't done anything wrong. Penguin "Liberation" Army, I highly suggest you to follow this key-value. I have noticed a virulent and strong impetus coming from some of the PLA members, but I will not appeal to the sword to stop this. For the pencil is mightier than the sword. The pencil is able to construct new horizons and possibilities, on the other hand, the sword only destroys.
If you want active rulers and the southern users to live well, then do not war the south, use diplomacy. Currently, the Queens of Das have been thinking of having an embassy on South to establish diplomatic relations officially. This is only an example of what could be done by other islands and by PLA as well.
The problem with thinking that a war is a solution is that you cannot build something from a destruction. It is not through annihilation that you will raise something new. Surely it is possible to get some free space by such violent extermination, but war isn't a valuable tactic if you want to construct something good and new.
These are the main flaws in PLA's reasoning. I hope that my words enlighten the minds of whoever reads this, but especially the PLA members.

You clearly did not read my words on this. I did NOT want war with the South at all.
Please, tell us more about how you never wanted to war the South but you still announced it on PLA chat.
It is likely that you will say that it was just a joke. That's an interesting tactic because it is possible to express true desires through jokes. Research from psychology has brought many details and valuable insights about that.
The PLA is, apparently, too immersed in fantasy. Thus, I'd be careful when making jokes if I were you.
Did you miss the part where I said I'd make Lex governor? Did I REALLY want to do that?

As I said, it was obvious you would say it was a joke. That's the consequences of being too imerse in fantasy. It becomes hard to distinguish reality from jokes and that is why your joke went too far.
I don't believe you wanted Lex as the ruler of the South, but it is hard to sustain your position here. You say it was all a joke, but you've led protests against Raindrop earlier. Once again, it gets hard to say what is fantasy and what is real.
Anyways Mike, I've read your apologies and I accept them. I understand your situation here and how you only wanted to do good. However, I hope this doesn't happen again.

I won't deny your point here, but it seems like some of your thoughts aren't valid. Indeed some mods are inactive, but being a Moderator isn't only about being active in-game.
The word "simp" was banned due to its meaning (if you think it's just a male that overvalues females, you're wrong) and because of its use by some players. Personally, I believe that the slang is also quite sexist. Anyways, some users felt offended and they have all the right to feel so, thus, the word is banned.
On banning, you're saying the opposite of what the Administrators told us. The Administrators have told us to pay more attention and that we shouldn't be afraid of banning an user if the situation requires such punishment. Also, as far as I observe, some of the Moderators are very lenient when it comes to punishing their friends when they break rules. I don't believe we "ban too often", actually, there are only a few BOS users. Even if we ban users too often, I strongly believe we are doing the right thing.

Also, it seems to me that you're almost teaching the Staff how to do its job. I truly appreciate your feedback, Ian, however it is evident that your post is full of criticism but it lacks objetive suggestions. You suggest to demote some mods but you don't say who specifically. You say we should moderate bullying more closely, but you don't say how to do it, and you didn't even mention that Moderators have to observe an entire room and pay attention to many users simultaneously, it is evidently difficult to moderate something closely if you have to pay attention to everything else. As I see this, you have only made vague suggestions.

Despite lacking objetive practical measures to be taken. I still understand your position, Ian. I will do my best to improve myself as a Moderator on OldCP, thank you for you sincere feedback.

not denying this at all other than the banishment of the word simp. you're right, activity is a struggle and and people miss a lot of things. I'm pushing the mod team to do more now and if they can't handle it then that will be a problem.
simp is banned because of the meaning of the word and the way it's been used ingame.

hows this a bad meaning of the word? It basically means that a man treats a women with extra respect (simp is used as a joke) Noun. simp (plural simps) (slang) A simple person lacking common sense; a fool or simpleton. (slang) A man who foolishly overvalues a woman and puts her on a pedestal.

I suggest you to look for the real meaning behind that word. I think I told you it already on discord mod chat, so you know what it means.

You killed many innocents before and got their gold. They might have been revived, but they never got their gold back. That's the rules, Frogs. Maybe your bank account will be revived, but don't expect to receive all your gold back.

I completely understand you, Fable. I'm glad you will still be around. Goodbye and good luck with life.

oof

Lords of Death? What?

"Lord of Death" is the role of Julian. This means he is in charge of revivals. If you die, you can join his discord chat ( https://discord.gg/nNP3ub ), make a ticket, explain your situation and he will look into it. If you died an unfair death, for example, you weren't armed and someone killed you, or you were spawn killed, he will revive you. However, if you were fighting in a war and your enemy kills you, Julian cannot help you.

As far as I know, you died a fair death and cannot be revived. Being revived isn't a right, it is a privilege. Also, insulting the Lord of Death won't help you, as Sled said:

Hello everyone,
DO NOT WRONG THE LORD OF DEATH.
If you do, he has permission to kill three more of your accounts. It will be a blood bath and he will feed on your worthless soul. Furthermore, you won't get revived.
Remember, your penguin...is just a penguin. You may fall, but you can always pick yourself back up. What you do when picking yourself back up matters the most. Your greatest power is to deny giving up.
