No, I disagree there. That's one f the best features of Illy- it's community, and that includes the GMs.

Censor alliance chat? but that's the chat we can talk in without the fear of being censored!

You mean make sexual jokes and flirt with anyone who identifies as female?

Well, in AC we can talk in a more openly way, because we won't be censored and because the person that's in your alliance knows you and knows that you're joking. I'm always joking with Nok in AC and he jokes with me too and if we did that in GC we'd be banned.

Hi all, A few general pointers. - Yes, when GMs aren't in chat this means we're developing new features and content for the game, and that's generally a better use of our time. Sometimes we're sleeping, but that's quite rare
- We think the combination of the profanity filter, but especially the "Block in Chat" option gives players control over who they choose to see in Global Chat, and this should be used more often than it is by players who are offended by other players; however, we also understand that there's a general point of "new players coming into global chat and seeing things that aren't a great advertisment for the game" and this is really where moderators should step in if they're around.
- We probably don't have enough Global Chat Moderators, and this will be something we will address in the future.
- We won't be moderating alliance chat.
We believe Alliance chat is for alliances themselves to moderate, and if you dislike a player's comments in your alliance chat that much then either you are in the wrong alliance and should leave, or the other player is in the wrong alliance, and should be kicked out. Either way, it's for the Alliance to work out internally.
Having said all of that, Petitions to the GMs for egregious breaches of the rules regarding discrimination on the grounds of race, sexuality, gender, politics or religion will be investigated - regardless of whether they originate in Global Chat, ingame mail, a forum post - or indeed Alliance Chat. Regards, SC

You're making us look like swearing hooligans.... We probably wouldn't be BANNED, just silenced on some occasions.

With alliance chat it should be down to the leaders to decide what is acceptable and what is not. Offenders can always be booted out into the general populace as SC said. And really bad offences can also be petitioned.
Good news we may be seeing a new 'Mean Greenie' in the near future in GC though, or should I say 'soon™' |

Your public image is that of a bear. Your argument is invalid.
