Was Zeus said :
will i get forum banned if i refer to people by their avatar without naming names?

Like if I say 'the ice mask' or 'blue phat with white beard'


watch out, the fmodnazi's will get ya. Also the reason i stopped posting completely besides bumping a thread in recruitment outside the HLF. but HLF itself is becomming shit as well, with post hidden and threads hidden/locked cuz yeh fmods and others

I just popped into a lounge somewhere and an fmod had posted about this day and how it is election day in usa and they thought there would be more posts while usa were busy voting.

I posted

Peeps in....

Pops out.

2 minutes later, the fmod had edited her post removing any mention of an election, hid my post and told me...

No political promotion.

After she started the political posting???

So it's looking like fuck the game and fuck the forums.

No idea who the FMod was, but posting about the elections was... well, in my personal opinion, an unhelpful and possibly silly thing to do.

Evidently they realised this, since they edited their post. But yeah.

As an example, a wrong section thread may be locked (not moved) if it's a misplaced trade or recruitment thread. Why? Because if we just moved them, people would know that by deliberately posting in the wrong place they get a free advertisement in that forum. Then it would become a normal spam tactic and general pain in the ass.


Do you just lock those or do you hide the first post? Seems if you don't do the latter, you're still allowing them to advertise.

You are quite right, I always hide the first post as well - and have been known to edit the title too.

Edit: at least, I think I always do. It's possible I've missed one or two, nobody's perfect ;)
