And thanks for the PM, I found your explanation very entertaining.

I find the larger font size easier to read. Where does it state that mods can tell posters what size font to use? I can understand not using all caps but really, mods have no right to dictate about a larger font size.

And in my opinion, on this forum, you will find different rules for different posters.

The third sentence in the posted rules covers this. Review at your leisure.

I agree in that some posters don't get the smackdown like others for the same offense but such is life.

One cop will give you a warning and another will give you a citation for the same offense.

I read woozle's as more of a friendly kind of thing. Of course there have been people like you describe that make it sound like it was your fault for taking on the boat (some people don't know that you can cast off boats) but the whole cast off sugar/cream/xxx boat thing... I am on the fence about.

In the end though... the best advice I can give is some I see a lot here from Kendra and Tinkerbell (hello nice sweet mods...)- Just play the way you want to; don't worry about how others play unless it interferes or they are breaking rules. If people delete or get annoyed based on a game, then you may want to think twice about even being friends with them. Some do take this almost like a competition where "winning" is important.

Then there are those who just don't like specific kinds of boats. I send off a lot lol many times ice cream ones too.

Ducky, When I did your ice cream boat the other day I put the last two cones you needed in my shop and changed my farm name to 'ice cream for ducky'. It was the only thing in my shop at the time, so of course one of my friends came and bought it! Grrrr...

Edit: Don't worry everyone, it was somebody who doesn't use the forum!
(And I'm just pulling Ducky's leg because I told him to get going full steam ahead making ice cream the other day)

Wow. I must not be reading the same threads that some of you are reading since I haven't come across the hostility and name calling as yet.

What we all should try our very best to do is to remember to always assume good intent when reading forum posts. I read woozie's comment also as being a friendly, "Oh now, don't worry about it just send that sucker on its way" kind of a post. But after reading Ladygems' comment I saw the "Calm down NOW!!!" side of it too. :p

By the way, I wish the font size were bigger. Would be so much easier to read.

Tbh, i dont think some of the players read the farm names. The eyes are locked in at the stand.

Of course they don't! And my reason for posting that was to show that this game is full of little irritations but it's not worth while getting wound up about them, Just have a little Grrr... And move on. I lost 18 diamonds moving a blackberry bush this morning, but I'm not going to start a thread about it. There we are, that will probably upset somebody too.....

I feel you there i did a 19 diamond on a cacao then trying to tap the picture of the fish away lost another five.
Honestly i think i said it very early in the thread, if one wants to social in forums like these, be prepared to have great tolerance, wont survive real long if the tiniest bit will make you upset or think oh this community is against me.

We take the feedback be it good or bad and digest upon it. Trolls cant hit back if we dont respond.

Well it just upset me so there! I lost diamonds speeding up a blackberry bush but didn't realise it was 18 diamonds until you just advised me. THANK YOU! There. I'm upset and I shouted. :mad:

18 diamonds. oh SOVL!!! 18 diamonds. Is that really what it costs? I could have hired Tom for 18 diamonds and have change left over. darn!!

I read your post with great interest. I thought it was extremely balanced and wise.
