I can understand a little about both side of argument, I'm moderator on a different unrelated outdoor forum. That being said I've played CC long enough to remember Gingerbread house and Pumpkin/Football Bombs lmfao. I lurked on this site for almost 18 months, before making an account. No doubt it has changed significantly, it used be mutual respect between players and moderators. This forum used to be valuable source of information, getting to know rivals, make friends or represent your syndicate. I believe in freedom of speech, but when you pop up and read any random thread, a positive topic quickly become negative in the blink of an eye. Usually the same suspects, like many have said if you have different opinion than others, you are quickly cornered and the sharks feed. I really do hope it can get back to the way it was a year so ago, unfortunately once you lose something it's very difficult to get "THAT" back to it's original form.
