Interesting. I tried to put it as politely as possible. If someone is not interested in following the norms of the roleplay community, they should move on. If they are, then welcome.
It seems to me that the OP's whining to the messageboard indicates that he isn't interested in following the norms of the community. He's looking for someone to hold his hand and say "Poor baby, of course it's ok to use shout for whatever you want."
If he would have just said "Sorry" and stopped, he would have been welcomed. If he posted something a little more concilatory, rather than the snippet I quoted, he would have been welcomed.
None of the beta servers were roleplay servers, by the way. So what we did in beta really has no bearing on Florendyl, does it?
The whole point of having a roleplay server is that the nonRP yahoos play somewhere else, and so I suppose that makes us all rather insular and unwelcoming.
And that's something I can live with.
