I am deeply and utterly appalled at how blatantly some people have violated forum rules here, even after multiple warnings. This thread is now locked and will not be unlocked.
I'm going to be blunt here--we do not need this kind of drama on the forums. If you have a problem with someone, by all means, talk to them privately and try to work things out; if someone is breaking rules or violating FTB policy, report it, do NOT respond to it. What I don't want to see is people dragging drama all over the forums from other places, starting arguments that lead to people verbally attacking each other. I'm also tired of seeing people dredge up old feuds just for the sake of prolonging an argument. (This isn't only in response to this thread/incident, but also applies to several that have cropped up over the past few months connected to several different cases of modding drama.) Discussion is fine, but drama is not.
I am now going to link to a post
@Jadedcat made almost two years ago.
LINK. I want to emphasize that the linked post is considered to be part of the official FTB forum rules, and the rules defined therein are still in effect--that post is as valid now as it was two years ago. We expect the community to treat them as such.
We want this community to be a kinder, friendlier place. Please help me and the rest of FTB fulfill this goal.
