User 1 broke the rules in the forum by answering ironically to User 2.


This alone is ridiculous. As you stated yourself, you are using irony/cynicism quite often - everybody should do so once in a while. So how can this be a case of breaking the rules in the first place.

Since we're giving some details, it was specifically in a transfer ads thread, which have the following notification at the beginning of every authorized transfer ads thread:


Special rules for players advertisements
- They are only allowed in the specific threads located in the national forums(this one). These threads can only be created by a staff member, if your country needs one or the old one is closed, ask a staff member to open a new one.
- Only one ad. per week is allowed. You may post as many players as you like in your ad.
- Local users may advertise any of their players that is listed for sale, foreign users may only advertise players who have the nationality of the forum country. Players should be on the roster of the user who lists them for sale on the transfer list.
-No values (TPE) requests or discussions about the players are allowed.


It's similar to the difference between discussions that are allowed to go on indefinitely in the global or suggestions forums, but that are not allowed and usually cut off quickly if they're in the Bugs forum.

2. That's fine, but I also don't want a GM to decide at his discretion when the situation involves only members of 2 communities, on national forums of one of these communities, if the GM belongs to any of these communities. If a GM goes ahead and does that, I want to be able to report him as well and have someone not involved take a look at the situation. However without a policy that states that GM shouldn't rule in such circumstances this is a moot point: I would be reporting a GM for doing something that is fine with the current policy, which makes no sense whatsoever.


I've read the bolded part numerous times now. I can't help but think you are suggesting that all national forums should be moderated by someone *not* of that nation, and then if someone from a nation who is moderating the forum sees a post from someone from his/her own country, (s)he must abandon moderating that thread and summon another GM from a third country.

We do often handle issues and reports from other countries' users and occasionally have to ask local GMs who are native speakers for advice on whether, for example, a team name or a message sent is offensive. But since those GMs are also part of those communities, there's still inherent bias possible.

I appreciate that but if you get people advertising their players directly on the English forums at massively inflated prices then people who have been playing the game for a little while are going to be a bit pissed off.

I'm not talking standard levels of inflation but 'literally every one that isn't a scrub listed at 1 million' kind of inflation.

Then I'll say without discussing a particular decision, it is wrong not to inform people of the outcome of the appeal. Without any idea of how long an appeal can take how can you know when a negative decision has been made?

This post clearly is about a process, and not a decision, therefore I expect it not to be deleted.
