Well... I personally favor a "Statement of Intent"... it really would just state what we've all been saying here and over at UbiZoo. Simply put, we don't mod FM/DMs, nor do we encourage it.
I'd also suggest that we take the high road in possible flame wars. I like that I can come here and have a nice, civil discussion with someone who doesn't agree with my viewpoint without it quickly degenerating into a childish flame fest. It's simple... just don't jump at the bait. I personally think its a great idea that some of the Ubi crowd come over and see for themselves just what we are all about. Some will come with chips on their shoulders and wanting nothing more than a flame war to "support" their contention that "we're out to kill online IL2". Since that is the farthest thing from our collective minds... let them come. They'll not find any fertile ground here for their conspiracy theory. Some will come out of curiosity. And they should be welcomed. We're not here to "convert" anyone... we just want to do our thing. I say let them all come and see for themselves. Greet and converse with them just as you would anyone you've just met... the flamers will quickly go and the civil guests should be treated just like that... guests. My .02 cents worth anyway.
