 know we're not supposed to discuss the code of conduct, but I will 
observe that trolling is often in the eye of the beholder, and any 
attempt to regulate trolling in any but the most light-handed manner may
 serve to stifle discourse and result in perceptions of favoritism (even
 if those perceptions are inaccurate).

The 
community actually does a reasonably good job at managing its own 
trolls, and I personally hope that moderators show a great deal of 
restraint in locking threads, deleting threads, etc.  -- including the 
ones I don't like or consider trollish.  We are for the most part 
adults, and treating us like children is just going to make us more 
likely to act like children.  This is not intended as a criticism of 
anyone, just an observation that I hope will be considered.

To address Rill's concerns and those who've echoed them, I understand what you are saying and will always do my best to be fair in any matter that requires moderation. I'm not looking to remove content that has value to the community. But I also don't think it is too much to ask that everyone act in a civil manner when dealing with one another (and with me). And as you say, this has been primarily the case already so I don't see this as much of a change. 

@The_Dude Having rules with relation to conduct should not have an effect on PVP gameplay. As SC said, every game has these sorts of rules, PVP or not. They are mostly just guidelines for common decency and exist to prevent disagreements from escalating into full blown harassment. 

And again, the rules are not up for debate though I am happy to continue to answer any questions with relation to them, preferably in private message or email. 

Thanks
