I was hoping that the maturity of this community would help in keeping that down

Don't let the posting population fool you -- the regulars on these forums are pretty mature, but that doesn't represent the community as a whole. It's got its ladies and gentlemen and its got its jackasses. And those jackasses will surely come out of the woodwork at the opportunity to bash a server -- especially if they have some personal issue with the server op there.
If you haven't done so, I recommend visiting IRC and joining a few channels -- use /list and join several of the most populated channels. Once you've spent some time listening to what goes on in those channels, come back here and talk about your faith in the maturity of the community

would be an example: Player_A sends PM to Admin_A saying that ServerOP_A banned them from their server and is harrasing him with PMs and while in IRC.

Action could very well be taken in this instance. If it is, it's because harassing another IRC user in general is not something that is tolerated on the IRC network. The admin handling your issue won't know, and will only marginally care, about what your prior relationship to this person was.
Suppose the server op didn't harass you in PM's, but only banned you from the server and possibly banned you from the server's IRC channel. I would be the first to outwardly decry the decision of any IRC operator who took it upon themselves to get involved in that issue.

P.S.: an example of a "bad" critique of someones idea or creation would be the post above this . . . But instead of getting emotional and just starting a flame war . . .
|
I'd be contradicting myself if I didn't let you have an opinion on my last post, so have your opinion. As far as getting emotional, I never felt any hate, resentment, or -- as the pastor of the church whose office I was working in at the time I posted this would say -- any "high octane ping" when I posted this response. I simply laid out what I felt this could lead to. Not to say a server critique wouldn't provide a benefit to the community -- it would, but at what price?

This is a member of the eqemu dev team responding to a post that said "Just be glad you can even play at this point, 6.1 is the buggiest version to date." Fact: most server operators put their servers up because they want to see enjoyment of their product. Same reason devs continue to code eqemu. As you can see above, when they get blasted with negative criticism time and time again, it wears them down.
Anyways, that's enough post for one round. Heading to bed
