lol.
I agree and disagree... Fried is being a bit too strict in some areas, but half of the pictures you post are definately inappropriate... didn't see the one you mentioned, but I can only guess...
Fried has already 'scolded' me and Immo already for just a tiny bit of laughter/small talk in the general forum... I personally think you should loosen up just a bit, Fried.

no offense blitz but you can argue with fried all you want for being to strict but imo its stupid to leave the forums just because he won't let you have some girl soccer player

No sir, what you posted was not a girl playing soccer. What you posted was a clearly posed picture of a very attractive girl lunging for a header on a ball, with her nipples clearly and prominently sticking out of her shirt with her back arched towards the camera. If that girl's ever played a day of professional soccer in her life, I'll eat a print copy of that picture. There were at least a dozen reasons why that was obviously a fake picture, but I won't go into them here. As you were warned more than once before now - we have a much higher standard of conduct for this board, including that "Image Game." If you'd showed me that in the Gamespy lobby, I'd have grinned and leered. Here, I'll remove it every time. But if not being able to post adult, quasi-adult, or on-the-line pictures is the most important reason why you frequent a message board.... well, I think the real problem has been identified. Blitz knew what he was doing - he was pushing a boundary to see what he could get away with. Now he's unhappy because he found out the boundary isn't soft. Post that in C3P's OT forum all you like - here? No. Sparta - as to your "smack talk" remarks, you need to remember that not everyone knows your relations with your friends, and that exchange could easily have been interpreted differently. Have fun trashtalking, but please don't do it in the friggin "Welcome to Civ4Players" thread? That's like sucker punching your brother while Mom and Dad are introducing you to Dad's new boss at dinner. I'd also like to point out that at every other respectable Civ site - Poly, CFC, RGB, CDG, any of them - not only would that image have been yanked, the poster would have been permabanned. All I did was yank an image. We're about to have multiple thousands of new readers of these boards in the next month or two. The largest potential membership increase in the history of the ladder by ten times! Just for that long, y'think maybe people could try and smile pretty?

Ya if you guys think the mods on this board are bad, try going to CFC et al. They're much stricter. {Editor's note: Phan's original words were a little more colorful.} Me and Fried had a barrel of laughs last time we were in their IRC channel ;D

They're the true {editor's deletion} hi, i'm new here, but I've been around CFC and 'poly for a while. one must remember that those boards have a large audience that includes young people. they are also huge, and the costs of running such boards is not insignificant. they start letting stuff like blitz's football babe up, and they lose thier sponsers, thus losing thier board. now, i don't agree with everything they do (as, imho, they are a little too strict), but they have thier reasons and one should try to understand them, as one should try to take Fried's et al's considerations before posting stuff here. there are other boards for the more adult slant to Civ that can be used as an outlet (shameless plug follows -> I use CDZ) @ FP -> who is RGB? Do you mean RBC (Realms Beyond Civilization?) <- not sad, question marks are above the "smilie"

First off welcome to the Ladder. I am sure you'll find this community and it's competition to be of excellent quality. Second. I must state I was purely joking around when I stated whatever thing I said {Editor's cleanup}. I respect the Mods of CFC and Poly and The Ladder aswell in making these family oriented sites. I support this in fact. I was purely making an inside joke to Fried. We had this 'conversation' in the CFC IRC once and disputed the sillyness of some of their auto-word bans. One of Frieds Lines an intentional misprint of the line "The Pen is mightier then the Sword" Still makes me chuckle. Anyway, Hope you didn't think I was bashing the SP sites. I'm primarily a SP Player myself. It's a testament to the quality of this league and it's community that I am still around playing MP. I am aware of CDZ. It is a PBEM site is it not? If that's the one I'm thinking of, then word is... you guys are almost as good as us. Glad to see some new faces around and being active. Mayhaps we get a PBEM or EPIC game going. Phan-man

I was wondering if that was really the old Phan or somebody new who may have taken the same name. Awfully mellow for the guy we all know as, uh lets say, somewhat intolerant, opinionated and "in your face". I don't mean that as demeaning. I kinda like it when a guy lets you know straight off where he's coming from.
As far as the soccer gal pic goes it's a judgment call. Any judgment made by any admin/moderator will be a target for criticism. I have my own opinion about that pic; but I will reserve it. Fried and others have done a fine job of moderating the boards and it's really silly to challenge any specific decision. I don't think Fried needs to defend his action; but he did say that he has warned Blitz about this sort of thing in the past. That's good enough for me.

Skinda like the difference between ladies in films who like other ladies rather alot(if you know what I mean) and real life ladies that like ladies alot I have to say Fried has asked for a modicum of decorum for the new ladder community, I don't think he's asking for the world here, he even said he might lighten up a bit in the future. Yes both me and Phan are imposters, it's the only explanation.

I am totally in agreeance here with Admins on this one...we are basically representing the future of civ4...and cases ladder....we need to have some sort established criteria and what is appropriate and what is not....if you want to look at scantily clad woman in compromising positions use your computer and go to those sites...i also speak as a father in saying this... my 9 yr old son sees me on the boards and playing the game often and i dont need for him to see inappropriate material....i think it is time to grow up and find a girlfriend(might be inappropriate) or a bottle of lotion...will understand if removed!!!!
