If you cannot control the IRC, you can control the Forum.
I'm sorry, and this isn't meant as a slight against you, but you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
IRC is
not controlled by Tom in any way. It is an external service, run by a third party, that the BattleMaster community is able to take advantage of.
The forum is
completely controlled by Tom. He can
personally IP-ban anyone who pisses him off, lock or delete boards at a whim, and otherwise do whatever he feels like with the forum any time he pleases.
Not being able to control IRC does not have anything at all to do with our ability to control the forum.
With rules, and after closed it, I belive the player will take care o eachother, reporting abuses more than before. As was said, I like to play the game and I like to write and interact on the forum... but I do it after or while I play the game. We can survive without the forum, but it's better with it.
This, I agree with.
