Maybe you were asking yourself what this poll is for. Well Codemasters had such an success with this forum that they wanted to thank its loyal members and arranged this contest to distribute little presents. So here we are. Frist price for the best moderator: A seven days trip with this luxurious sealiner from Ethopian Sealines with Full-board and free access to all its leisure and entertainment facilities. Maybe someone else can present the prices for the other polls<span id='postcolor'> Okaaaaaay, maybe it's not so good I even got nominated after all. Hillarious.... EDIT: I meant nominated in other polls, not this 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It isnt that hard cause the people here are generous and see no problems in respecting each others opinions. You see this forum isnt in its puberty anymore, its rules have went trough a process of evolution and it has arrived at a stage where most people can discuss in a respectable manner and can express their point of views without any constraints. But I guess there is a limit to it. And this limit is actually very clear. DONT BE DESTRUCTIVE. And I hope you will notice that any non-constructive message will not be accepted and I can tell you beforehand that most of the posters here are not ready for a great revolution against the style of the moderators. Cause there is no reason to rebell. Dont try to destroy a forum that I like the way it is. I know it is slick to post while you are banned, but please do not hesitate to PM me if you wish to respond.
