I've been through this rodeo one too many times. Power struggles, flame wars, and even total anarchy is the battle. It is the hell that is the demise of a forum. I myself have been a victim of it for over 5 times. The first 3 storms of hate came from a disagreement that got blown out of proportion. What the moderators and admins didn't see is that the members of the forum were getting effected emotionally.... very emotional might I add. They continued on their bickering war, and even though the conversations were in hidden channels, we could smell the discontent from the admins and mods. No one needed to explain anything, everyone knew what was going on. I had to support my good friend from crying because he didn't want this clan to go down the hole, it was his first clan ever, and we were together for our first month in tryouts; we became best buddies. We got lucky though, some of the cooler and more skilled admins were starting a fun new clan, that I am now a part of to this very day. I insisted that we add my best buddy, and they did with open arms. This clan has a great policy that any forum or chatroom can follow:

No one is a boss, no one has a throne. Be who you are. If things get out of hand, know that we got a boot, and there's the door.

The other 2 times this happened to me were from recent events. They were LOTRO related (Lord of the Rings Online); I was being a skxwang and an inconvenience for everyone. I'm very sorry for that...

Moderators, gentlemen, I want you all to make a pact that you will follow. For our sack. Will you hear it?
