Thanks for your 'private message', where I'm not allowed to respond.
So I'll say it here instead.
Pro tip - don't get too big for your own boots with those shotgun 'private message' remarks - the last 2 dudes that tried to overshoot their mark are both fired now. Gone.
If you want to wear the moderator hat, and don't want to come off as an ass, don't send threatening messages to forum members where they can't defend themselves.
They'll just go straight to larian support like I did, and you will have to answer to them.

Remember the human (This is a forum for a video game):
Imagine a world where you really need to log in to BG3 forums to ‘feel alive’.
Amazingly, even the most debased hellhole parallel universes don’t rate being able to post on BG3 official forums as what you might call ‘high-achieving’.
How can I possibly know that?
Well, I’ve been to them pal – that’s how. I have the postcards. Also, 1 million children from the 1000s of wives I’ve ‘accumulated’ in the multiverse while never aging.
What’s that? Oh, we’ve a doubter here, lads – a ‘realist’ haha.
Well, you may take your guffaws and stick them right where the multiverse don’t shine amigo.
I feel yah dude. I only feel alive after I send an email to Larian and then brag to others about it, personally. .
That’s not what I said though, is it.
But shure we’ll see, won’t we. I think Larian is more on the side of the ‘fans’ now than some rando who sends threatening messages to their paying customers. But who I am to know? It’s not like I make millions off being socially aware or anything like that…
Stealth though: personally I never use it, because in all Larian games it’s too easy to cheese the AI. It’s not what I’m about…
It’s a very complex thing to program correctly, there will always be exploits even in a game dedicated to stealth. They don’t have the resources to make an ‘amazing’ stealth experience IMO.
But maybe some of the armchair coders here can ‘opt in’ and show them how it’s done – personally, I think they might just fall on their ass trying to do that, but you never know

Reading between the lines of this, you are not able to reply to the PM I sent hoping we could draw a line under a minor spat between yourself and another forum member in a different thread. I’m not sure what you found threatening about it, but I certainly didn’t expect that you wouldn’t be able to reply.
I will ask vometia to check if there is a problem with your user account.
For awareness, we do have a moderator forum shared with Larian support where I post details of any moderator interventions I make, so while you’re welcome to email them to complain, they will already have visibility.
"You may call it 'nonsense' if you like, but I've heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!"

Ok, nice to know.
Apparently the company doesn’t appreciate those who push their weight around.
They get the boot.
I’m just a customer – whether I’m banned or not means nothing to me. It's an IP address either way - guess what you can do with them if you want to just create another a/c.
But as a mod, you make a ‘statement’ by banning certain folk.
I’m confused. What ball? I’ve not mentioned banning anyone, either in a public thread or in a private message.
Yeah, sending a forum member a ‘private message’ directing them to some ‘warning’ (by you) that was made in another thread isn’t a prelude to a ban – it isn’t, because I’ve just pulled out a massive pair of fucking blinders (does everyone see them, here’s me waving them around – they blind cows, basically) and while I was not explicitly asked to wear such ‘adornments’ by Red Queen, I believe I could make a strong case for the mods implying I might possibly have to if don’t ‘watch my words’.
It’s ok – don’t worry about it.
What you do is up to you, not Larian, really. The mods, as everywhere, set the tone of the place. They are a law unto themselves.
If you kick me out, I won’t complain…simply because I don’t care.
I just don’t think it would be seen as reasonable.
‘But I never…’
Yeah but you sent me a private message directing me to a thread where you sent a ‘warning’ etc, and because I wasn’t born yesterday, I took that as a ‘threat’.

Nobody's been fired, except in your imagination. You, however, can take a hike.
Looking back over this dude's history, he violently attacked several members of this forum, cursed them out of it, called them 'fucking airheads' etc and he's 'ok''?
Also, every new member that signs up is a 'sock a/c'?
Nice to know that - you must have some incredible software to prove that.
IP address or what?
Otherwise, people will be asking questions as to why everyone is being 'disappeared' - perhaps I will too?
Also I don't see 'The Composer' here anymore - went on a god trip, did he? Thought there would be no repercussions?
Watch the ban appear beside my name too. This is Larian 2023 - 'take them out of it'.
While they let these unhinged mfs like Tuco have free reign. Dude has absolutely menaced people on this forum. All the evidence is there in the 'post history', so it's not like I have a difficult fight ahead haha.
Not only can we do this all day btw (guess Vometia doesn't know how the internet works), but by god have you dug the deepest deepest hole for this company.
And you won't be able to 'silence' people from 'speaking up' - your crude little shutdowns are visible to all.
But go ahead - do it again. Ban.
Yeah, keep doing it. To everyone that signs up.
And explain that to Larian.
Moderator note: please take your personal feuds elsewhere, thank you. For the record, the person you pointed at wasn't a moderator and wasn't fired, and The Composer is still here. -v
'please take your personal feuds elsewhere, thank you' - you should take your own advice. Or perhaps even try moderating the people who are attacking everyone as viscerally as Tuco?
No?
Or Ragnarok?
No?
All you have is your little button Vometia. What I have is my words. And yeah, the fact that I can keep logging into this site over and over, despite your 'bans', and there is nothing whatsoever you can do to prevent that, because I know how your crude login system works. And now you’re just ‘guessing’ who you should ban – you have no way to identify me, so you just ban every new member. Yeah they’ll call you crazy pretty quick if you keep up that game, so might as well drop it.
You made a big mistake throwing your weight around.
I'm done for the night, so go ahead and click your little button again.
You can't keep doing that, though - and I'm a very good 'fiction writer'. Best of luck explaining to Larian how you keep banning this 'guy' that you 'think' is the same person you previously banned for no reason. Without any technical evidence to back that up. Because they might, you know, call that insane after a while.
Haven't seen the composer comment in yonks btw - obviously got told off. As for Nicou - why would the guy leave after less than a year if it wasn't a sacking?
Rhetorical.
But don't worry - I'm a very reasonable dude.
I'm not out to fry either you or Red Queen - RQ made some very antagonistic comments to me via PM. If you've too much pride to admit that, hokey dokey. I know why that is – I know what both of you are. But you can't just 'ban' someone for calling out a mod.
