i want an answer as to why crinks is banned for 2 weeks

Seriously, Crinkz, you’re banned again now, for posting harmful links in General Discussion, something that would probably be banworthy no matter what forum it was posted in?

Why? Seriously, why?

I feel dirty & scummy for sticking up for you now.

I think it's time to remove the Flamebate leaderboard.

Regardless of what is decided I’d really like to see something permanent about the rules created by CZ, something that cannot be changed by users. Not knocking the wiki or Banhammer’s thread about how not to get banned, but there should simply be something definite – perhaps a link added to those already on the bottom of the pages listing no nos and bannable offenses.

I enjoy this site and it is upsetting to think that I could have been banned after the fact for something I had no clue was against the rules.

I have no problem with the rules being updated as needed. I do have a problem with a non-bannable action resulting in a player ban, and then an immediate rewrite of the rules to justify the ban.

Anyone remember The Dukes of Hazard? Remember how Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane would entrap people by switching out speed limit or stop signs, and all of a sudden, the Hog’s Tavern bar would have some famous country-western singer or band playing a show to work off their exorbitant fine?

All we need here to complete the analogy is to allow people to pay BP to lift their ban.

Just my non-RPing two cents. Please advise me via Tubmail if I have unknowingly violated an unwritten secret rule. I don’t think I’m currently on double-secret probation, so I should be okay.

wrong scoop?

You know what would make Fiesta REALLY interesting? Keep the Antifreeze limit to 10 but don’t apply the rule to gambling unless it happens to produce an Antifreeze scoop. So you can gamble all day long!

Horrible Idea. The entire point of a Gambling Limit was so that players with extreme amounts of Flezz would not have an insurmountable advantage.

MCB’s quote about putting threads in the wrong place doesn’t apply when the poster has 6 previous bans for ‘out of place’ posts.

Was this thread in the wrong place, though?

For that to be true, then his thread must be viewed as a RPing attempt. But as SimplytheBest just pointed out, CZ has a love of easter eggs for this game, and as such, it is well within reasonable assumption that this was a legitimate game discussion matter.

Tubs, by your above post, you are admitting that you were biased in your assessment of any of Crinks’ posts because of his prior offenses. In other words, you began with the presumption that he was RPing in a non-RP forum. But as many of us have said, it is unclear if this was RPing or not.

Does this mean that the benefit of the doubt is no longer even an option if someone has prior offenses?

Does this mean that if Crinks ever posts with any sort of internet lingo, such as ‘lol’ or ‘hai guyz’, that means he’s automatically RolePlaying instead of simply using internet slang?

It’s obvious that you were pre-biased in your assessment of the thread in question, based on Crinks prior bans. And I suggest that you overreacted. If a convicted bank robber doesn’t come to a complete stop at a stop sign, the cops don’t throw him back in jail for 20 more years.

Additionally, since it has not been proven that the thread in question actually was RPing (even with the second post by Crinks in the thread), then this was an unfair ban.

I’d like to say that I’m sad to see that this has happened, but I can’t. If I said I was sad, then I’m afraid that someone would insist that I was Role-Playing as an EmoKid. Because obviously the line between RPing and actual discussion is too blurry for some people. Maybe when Crinks gets back from his ban, he should just preface every non-RP post with ‘This is a non-RP post. Please don’t jump to conclusions.’

Petition to Fix Assholes

?????

Seriously?

Okay.

If the player with the name that comes last alphabetically is the least likely to be targeted by Assholes in a tie situation, then that player has a very minor advantage in Domination.

Very Minor.

Just like Mjolnir’s joke.

Klan raiding

I don’t mind passive raids coexisting, but really, you don’t see BF or BoD people left and right talking about how organized raids are awesome and how much of an advantage it gives.

I seem to recall the SotQR and KoLOL bragging about how ‘dominating’ their Raids were.

Passive raids works on zerg rush klans, we know that. So please stop trying to bend domination rules to your will. The limit will not be changed, because it will kill organized raids by the reasons I said before.

And what limits am I trying to change?

I’ve simply been responding to those that claim that Passive Raids are ineffective.

What are you going to do when the number of raids you can join in a day are limited?

If that happens (which I doubt it will), it depends on the number per day limit. Like I said, 3-4 Passive Raids per day is plenty.

If a limit is imposed, then that’s simply proof that 7VD found a significant advantage in Domination.

So, we either get to keep our Passive Raiding strategy (until we get bored with it), or it gets nerfed and we get the validation that it was an overpowered tactic.

I like those choices.

The title of the thread was a question.

And even if it didn’t have a question, a thread doesn’t require a question to be a valid discussion thread. As I saw it, it was simply an initial post in regards to discussing why Ravit’s tubmail address was invalid.

Unless we’re banning people for having crappy threads now?

It is not posting personal information. It is for role playing in Game Discussion. You know the bolded part.

I read that entire thread. How was that Role-Playing? If that was role-playing, then every single person that was discussing Tubmailing the Starving_2_Death NPC needs to get a 2 Week ban as well.

If that was the reason for the ban, that is the thinnest excuse I have ever seen, anywhere. It wasn’t until you just claimed that it was Role-Playing that I even saw that, if someone was specifically assuming Crinkz was trying to RP, that it even appears to be RPing.

Seriously. If that’s considered RPing, then there are a crapload of posts in GD that should be considered weak attempts at Trolling, and each of those players needs a 2 week ban as well.

It looks to be a legitimate question regarding the Game. And it was answered by Largehardoncollider.

A tech question about the game, answered by another player. In other words, exactly the purpose of GD.

This ban is fundamentally wrong, and I really think it needs to be reviewed by someone other than a Mod.

Completed Ep. 2...

Because I take pride in being a shitty thread maker to piss people off.

And yet, this is the GD forum not General Role-Playing.
