“Everything goes south” is an idiom that means that everything is getting worse.

Unless you were joking…

people tend to think that up is better and down is worse, that’s why people say going south and not north.

Is there a way to prevent banned users from coming back into the forums? Or can they just come back under another name?

When deleting spammers discourse also adds an IP ban and permanently bans the email address used. Doesn’t seem to help a great deal, though as the Indian spammers just keep registering, luckily they post only a few posts that I can quickly identify as spam.
So far we only have 2 banned users, one of whom made a new account that was eventually discovered because they basically said that they had made a second account.

I think that most forums just keep banning banned users if they make alt accounts, or also IP ban the user, which helps if they can’t easily change their IP.

Very often when I update discourse (which is recommended to be done very often), they have changed their CSS so that our custom theme breaks.

Edit: I fixed it, but it’s very annoying to often spend 7 minutes messing with the style (and trying to not break something else).

Which is more likely:

  • Be diplomatic like the Federation in Star Trek
  • Get a sense of Terran Manifest Destiny and aggressively expand
  • Act like a normal nation and have a mix of aggression and diplomacy
  • Kill ourselves before developing into a space-faring species

I’ll probably play the same as in Spore: I’ll be diplomatic, but if you declare war on me I will fight back and not quit until your entire species is extinct and the only thing left of your capital planet is a barren wasteland.

Manifest Destiny for American’s was their divine right to expand west. Terran Manifest Destiny would be a “it’s our right to rule the galaxy” mindset, aka we would deem all other forms of life inferior and conquer every alien race we could while aggresively expanding our borders.

Can’t answer, never played it. The only RTS I play is Age of Mythology.
