Well, i must say the "Revolt" thread was stupid, but does it fall into any rule to say it is not allowed?

I've seen way lower-content threads not get locked.
I've played it once, it more like pirates, Vikings and Run the f**k away from the archers II
Yeah, thats kinda true, but the Sharp Shooter class for the pirates is coming soon, and once the vikings get their ranged class, its going to be a lot more fair. The archers aren't OP themselves, its just the lack of other ranged classes in the game.
I don't feel you have any right to claim another should care for the comfort zones of others, because I've very clearly seen you trample the comfort zones of others.
A friend of mine, you bothered and harassed to reveal a picture of themselves, even though they clearly didn't want too. You get into an argument and you must be right, you press into those comfort zones you claim to respect.
Outside the forum this is evident, I've seen you harp on people in the IRC but claim "I don't name and shame" which I have seen you do that exactly.
You came onto my profile and blamed me for being a "sheep", which was entirely pointless and offensive, and when I gave explanation you continued to merely state "baaah". That's not respect for my comfort zone, it's insulting. Maybe I can shrug it off and say "Whatever I know who I am", but I see you do this to people who can't shrug it off like that, and you push and push and your the last one standing because you refuse to let anyone else up. Even where I capable of "shrugging it off" why is your intent to harass me? If it that I should have thick skin, why do you claim that those who even slightly break the rules may be harming others, do not they simply need thick skin?
You are not always right, you are simply so aggressive and forceful people are either completely shut down by you or so fed up they can't continue the argument. I've seen you do these things, you've done them to me, and I'm not the only one who sees this.
So no, I don't believe you have rights to that statement.
Over-moderation just leads to good people getting banned and/or people getting fed up and leaving.
This section needs to find a good balance, and not to do things out of the rules like locking a thread since "it might be popular and too many get made"
You're just the messenger that but that's pretty silly.
If suddenly everyone went stupid and started making threads about following the rules would you delete guidelines pinned thread?
Mods do whatever when some one tells them, no offense. I mean, i even got a lot of quotes from mods saying why chat threads are a terrible thing to the forums, yet when they're allowed i don't see them campaigning to get rid of their evilness.
