RULE BREAK Q&A [Moved]

[Zigzag991]

Right right so to summarize coffee is good, mockingbirds and books, cheddar, COKE! , off-topicness, and when you say "universal" it is against the rules and you could also get a warning/infraction/whatever for it? This is an awesome gameshow! ^~^

The universal just means across all platforms/media it's the same rule. And yeah, Warning/Infraction/Ban/Nagged, aka don't do it.

 

[Zigzag991]

Erm, yeah, I worded that wrong. Thanks!

Why do you feel the need to have the last word? You're not contributing anything. That's worse than trying to contribute and breaking a rule. I'm actually, seriously trying to answer some stuff that may come up for people that don't read the rules, so that the mods don't have to deal with 50+ reports every single day on stuff that's listed in multiple places.

This thread.

Thanks for reporting it again. I hadn't seen the previous 6 reports.

If there are 7 reports already how come it's still an open thread.

If there are 7 reports already how come it's still an open thread.

Because instead of warning the person that made the thread, or infracting them I decided to try something different. Okay, situation here: Thread is closed. It happens again. People still can't seem to figure out duping/cloning is against the rules. I have a few different approaches to how I handle situations than other mods do. One of them, as seen here is an education that is more widely seen than just quietly closing the situation.

Also this gives people unfamiliar with the rules (because they're lazy or just haven't looked) a chance to ask questions. Hell, even old members are more than welcome to ask whatever they like in regards to rules. There's no shame in being curious, only being ignorant.

I'm glad you asked about the reports! See, how this works is everytime the report button is pressed, it sends a little message that only mods can see. All of the reports for this specific thread were issued before I had said anything in the thread. Usually that's a surefire sign that a mod is paying attention, and the reports stop. Then, the moderator posts in the related report thread saying it's handled and what they did.

Until you reported the thread, it had been a quiet topic. So, why did you report the thread? Did you read it? Did you not realize that I'm already working on it? Or did you assume that every mod is required to handle everything the exact same way?

Wouldn't that be dumb though, a bunch of mods that do the same thing. Man, why do we have so many mods if that's the only point to them. It's like an army of clones that have no differing opinion.

There is no need to start spewing your frustrations at me. I merely followed Kaiaa's instructions and reported the thread rather than engaging in backseat modding.

Closing the thread may not be your favourite idea, but leaving it open isn't a solution either as this entire thread will A) keep going further off-topic, B) result in more reports from forum users, and C) is still inviting someone to reply with information about glitching or dupping.

 

[Gummysaur]

actually, I like reading closed threads because they're almost always interesting.

You're the only person here reporting, complaining, and generally offering solutions I don't need. Thanks for the suggestion, but I do things a little differently.

Forbidden fruits are always the most tasteful.

 

[Caius]

That's the thing. There's a point to closed threads. Someone did something, and it's not always made super obvious. Instead of getting PM's like crazy, I'm just here to make everything nice and open.

 

[Zander]

I personally think that this is a great way to handle this. I see stuff like "Don't do that. THREAD CLOSED" all the time.

This is an interesting way of doing it

 

[Zigzag991]

Sure got my use out of it. Seems better than just closing it.

 

[Sir Takoya]

It doesn't affect the rules if I do it off-site, does it? :3

 

[Xela]

I feel this thread should be closed. The sarcastic questions seem un necessary.

Depends on what you're doing. If you're talking about duping/cloning/hacking on another forum, then it doesn't fall under our jurisdiction at all. However, if you're SELLING those items or bells, or generally transferring things that aren't legit, and it's found out, then yes, at that point you're in our jurisdiction if the transaction is made on this forum.

So say you're on another forum. Let's just call it fakecrossing. You're having an awesome discussion about duping. Sweet. Everyone there is all for it. You do it, have fun, it's all good. That's all on fakecrossing's rules. However, you have a duped object, come over here, and try and sell it. Someone finds one of your posts from fakecrossing, lets one of us know the item is duped, or there's some other reason people believe it to be a dupe. Since the transaction would be made here, then it's against the rules. That's all.

I feel this thread should be closed. The sarcastic questions seem un necessary.

Kaiaa and I have already talked about this thread. I'm handling things my own way right now. Since people can't seem to get it. Considering the final decision is up to me to close the thread, you're out of luck there. In fact, I'm moving this to the HQ.

 

[J087]

It'll sure be interesting to keep seeing threads, which violate the forum rules, pop-up due to off-topic replies. I wish the forum's rules and guidelines would match the mod's code of conduct though.
