Censorship SUCKS!

I made mention of adding "sysop in game events" like in Twpro for WG/MBBS be added to the new TWGS. I have been beta testing for a while now the new TWG v2.

Try to post a reply to adding some in game events to the new twgs version and the post get deleted and or reelgated to "smack talk"
What a way to run a message base, if you post thier rember it will be censored.

Appollogies to all for posting this but it needs to be said.

Below is a capture of some of the BS from the tw2002 forum.

They dont even know Alein Derilect shiips actually exist in TW2002

Ok, guessing someone needs to break down the "why" of the need if this is not a truce game. What is the value? Why add more code to a program that possibly introduces bugs, and takes game developer time and effort if there is not a true return of value? Does it somehow improve gameplay? As I somewhat implied earlier - are you treating something that should be prevented in the first place?

Examples of the below and the rationale that is used for the request would be nice.

Planet Landing on planet # ___
Planet Claim on planet # ____
Sector Entry sector # ___
Ship claimed, derilect #1-?
Pmissle Launch time sector

There are no derelict ships. So that doesn't need to be there.

Sector entry would be very floody. Planet landing too.

[I think what Stoneslinger has tried to convey is that having certain events logged may be useful from a Sysop point of view. From his posts, it would provide information which would assist in providing help when enforcing rules to a game (such as a truce game).

Truce games should be self regulating.
If truces need "enforcement" then he needs a proper truce edit and server script to deal with it.

I agree with Thrawn. The Suggestion is a good one depending on it what it records and sends. Good suggestion Stone.

Nothing to do with a truce game or any specific game a simple custom configured SYSOP OPTION to use thats all.

Seeing as my replies are being CENSORED I will qoute my reply to what was moved to another area.

Why has the CENSOR BOARD MOVED MY POST yet again to smack talk.
leve the other 2 peeps posts in the BETA discussion and move my reply here.
Rearanged the post order, deleted messages... this is pethetic.
No use in makeing public comments or Beta related comments to assist JP in beta testing as they will just be censored.


Isn't the underlying idea behind bbs's and forums, "a place for fun, free thought and speech"

@ Stoneslinger,

Please keep the debating with others in the proper forum, i.e. Smack Talk. If you post comments that initiate debate, then expect your posts to be moved to the appropriate forum area.

Thank you.

Ya NP THRAWN AND JP.... I will contiinue to beta test for JP but any discussions will probably remain private beetween me and JP.
What a shame to see this happen to Tw 2002.

Censorship SUCKS!

Please understand I am very impressed with the new TWGS v2, it is comeing along nicely. WG 3nt kills most of the custom scripters Altho the insistance of the "scripter groups" determining its performance and final outcome, I am dismayed with.

I am DISGUSTED that we can not openly talk about ideas on the tw forum, no foul language was used. Just a differance of ideas and or a lack of knowledge of the older tw versions and how some of the sysop option from old days could be added to make the new twgs v2 a bit better for all sysop's.

The Forum Lives at http://www.classictw.com/

If any of you WG sysop's plan to run the new TWGS I have some basic webpages done for worldgroup NT3xx that display live score info. If you want the basic html's let me know.
