What's steaming my cheese is the reference to "threatening to ban people". I read that as suggesting that it's inappropriate to take action when members of the community make topics regarding things that have been addressed or simply to ask for an update, when there's a giant great banner telling you not to do it on every GD and support page.
You're probably not aware of this, but there's a guy out there who has taken his bat home over a comment made to him when he posted such a thread, and is currently trying to paint the RoR staff as my puppets and me in particular as an iron-fisted Nazi bastard who bans everyone he does not like for frivolous or non-existent reasons. I do not think this is helping that perception.

We all know (and by all I mean the players who are active on here and follow the forums) what's allowed and not allowed and in general, I feel like if the player gets forums-banned, they probably deserved it. In all honestly, I don't want your job. It's a lose/lose. Play it strict and you're an a-hole. Play it loose, and this turns into a f&*^K fest. No win IMO.
The jab about threatening to ban was just that. An over the top statement that is absurd in reality, but funny in the context of the short video. The reality is a few of the posts made about the subject that shall not be a subject have seemed a bit direct and marginally threatening. I equate it to some people just want to watch the world burn. They see the 50 point font post at the top of every page, but feel their circumstance is "different".
I guess what I'm trying to say is those who know, know it's a jab, and not reality. Those who don't, are probably headed for the door anyways. Sorry if it offended you. I have a dry sense of humor.

All right. I don't mind about the rest. Just don't want any warped perceptions to be fed.

Yeah, I did. Was just wary of someone coming in and cherry picking bits out.
