WoTC wasn't happy with me posting their link to customer service complaints. This is blatant censorship. Someone find the link again and post it here please. It should be in the email they send you after a moderation.

EDIT: I got it deploy.ztelligence.com/start/survey/surv...

Censorship is an action by a political entity.  This is WotC's private property, and they have every right to moderate it in whatever manner they see fit.

So in other words, when they get mad, they take their ball and go home.
*shrug*
I expected a little more maturity from Wizards, but meh...

And it is "odd" that they delete such a thing.
But I'm not really surprised by bias and favortisim on this site anymore...

Any discussion of moderation that goes beyond a broad overview and drops into the details is almost guaranteed to get deleted pretty quick. WotC has always been pretty clear about that.

Now, that being said, WotC *is* aware of the problems that some people have with the moderation of the forums as well as the info (or lack thereof, depending on the case) that is given out. They are also aware of the (and this is my term) "lack of consequences" for repeatedly breaking the CoC, and the immense dislike that numerous posters have for that as well.

They are discussing changes to the moderation, but, given that there are *numerous* groups, both in WotC as well as potentially Hasbro, that may need to sign off on changes as significant as that, it may take a while.

No, in other words it's their court and they decide what rules apply.

It's funny... for some reason I thought you would be in agreement with a private corporation setting up a website and dictating it's own rules on that website instead of allowing a bunch of people that haven't paid anything towards the website, and get to use it free of charge, complain about how the corporations moderation of its own website isn't fair.

The rules are fine, the implementation sucks, as does the moderation.

Are you suggesting the gov't would do better than Wizards?
OMG, this place would be a madhouse!

So far the U.S. hasn't blown up. The government seems to have been able to run the country well enough that we are here today.

IE doesn't have a spell checker?

I have two in my Firefox, Polish and American English. But I don't usually use the Polish one, for obvious reasons.

Too bad the browser itself is a little slow.

There's a polish spell checker? I thought polish was an entirely phonetic language...

Guess that's what I get for thinking.

There are things that sound alike despite being written in a different way.
For instance, "sz", "rz" and "ż" sounds, which all sound the same to English speaker perhaps, but the "sz" is very distinct from the other two for us... which sound the same

I have a special place in my heart for the Polish people. I also have a great respect and admiration of them.
