Think before u report!!!

[Onaraasider]

I'm to lazy to read the comments so i apologize if I repeat anything:

Forgive me ona, but I disagree with everything you said. It's not my fault the person being reported failed to read THE ToS. Therefore, if they don't want to read ToS, I don't mind reporting.
Think of it as a lesson learned on their part.
My 2c

I didn't read the ToS when I was a newbie, I skipped right to game,lol, I still haven't read the ToS,it is basically the same for every game

[Onaraasider]

Let me do a walkthrough of what happened:

1. Person A tries a scam.Ok,then person A mig not be aware of scam
2. Person B calls Person A out on the scam.Person B can choose to tell the player what they are doing is wrong
3. Person A goes into panic mode when faced with an Ambassador thinking they're a developer.As I said,I was on my main, and he still thought me and ninjaduck could ban him
4. Person A all of a sudden didn't know what he was doing was wrong.Of course he knows he was doing something wrong, he didn't know he could get banned forever for it


You see thus stuff all the time in real life. People will try to mess up your day until caught, and then all of a sudden "they didn't know any better."
It's like with kids and violent video games. Kid finds his dads gun and shoots his friend in the face, says he doesn't know any better and blames videogameWhat kid would blame it on video games?they live to play video games and would lose it if they blamed video games.

there is my argument

A few thoughts....

1. Hank is right: whether or not you read the ToS when you start is not the point. When you start an account, you are agreeing to the fact you HAVE read the ToS. So technically, noone has an excuse in not knowing essential facets of the game.

2. Just because you and ND talked to him doesn't mean he didn't join another game and do the same thing. Whne you play an MMO the size of PL/SL's community, you are going to run accross individauls who are "false": say one thing and do another. I don't know how many times I have explained something to someone, left a towne to join another, and see that person doing the same thing I just explained was frowned upon or against ToS.

I agree with you that we shouldn't be trigger happy with the report button. But I disagree in the whole ToS argument and suggest you take a few minutes to read it through.

I know everything ur saying,and they are all good arguments,it's just not fair everyone's against what I'm saying, but the guy that came in our game he looked completely noobish,he didn't even know how to use skills,u could say he was lying and acting but I have him in mynfriend list and sometimes spy on him from my other characters,just to mak sure he doesn't do what he did,he does things like begging,but that's normal for a new player

[Onaraasider]

Also, did u explain to that playr who was doing the frowned upon thing,that he/she could be banned forever?

[Artentreri]

Yeah, not always in such a polite manner though.

[ninjaduck]

I agree Ona, I had a chat with the guy even though his english is not the best. He seemed like the average new player. You were very cool to lend him some items, hes already crafted a hat and lvled to 11! I think he was unclear on methods of obtaining gold, because, even for core merchants, its not THAT easy.

[Pathologyx]

Is it not in the T&A that selling plat is against the rules?

Maybe just refer them to that next time.

Yes, but selling plat will include sharing account information, which is against TOS and is perma-banned if anyone does it.

[Epic Unicorns!]

I think when you makes an account, it should make you read the ToS and tell you consequences, so someone can't say they didn't know.

[Kahlua]

there is my argument

You missed the satire (is that the word Im looking for?) in my post. Of course they knew they were doing something wrong. Hmm let's see...plat isn't tradeable...telling people you'll give plat for money...follow through with the scam if the person falls for it...become naive if they don't.

All I'm saying is, you've gotta be careful with people in general. It's easy to say "oh ok I didn't know" when you get caught doing something wrong. Some people may be sincere, some may just be covering their six

[XghostzX]

On one hand yes, it's nice to tell the player the consequences that will come if this happens. On the other hand, any matured enough kid (10 or over, STS rules i think) would know that earning plat costs real currency as gold in game is just virtual. In any type of MMORPG this would go against the rules.

[Gaddy]

I can't even count how many times I've heard someone who was begging me say: " I report U ! "

I get a little chuckle every time

[NECROREAPER]

Breaking the TOS is breaking the TOS is breaking the TOS, regardless of "knowing" the rules or not.


When you get busted for committing a crime, you have to deal with the consequences, regardless of whether or not you knew what the crime was or knew you were committing it.

[Silentarrow]

Does anyone read the TOS before registering?

It seems like people in the app reviews are always complaining about getting banned for breaking major points in the TOS .

[NECROREAPER]

I did.

I've made it a habit to actually read the rules of things before I join them to save myself some possible greif later on down the road.

[Qqqxxxzzz]

I didn't

[Siejo]

I think when you makes an account, it should make you read the ToS and tell you consequences, so someone can't say they didn't know.

I suggested this a while back right here: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...rms-of-Service

I also have posted it on my guild's website in multiple places.

[FluffNStuff]

If the kid was cursing or doing something inappropriate, then maybe warn him, but trying to sell plat is to dangerous to overlook. As one who knows he is scamming, report him before he tries it on someone who doesn't.
And of course he said he did not know it was wrong, he thought he was getting busted. Way to embolden him by not reporting. I am sure his next victim will thank you.

[Zombiemurder]

It's a big thing to think a little before saying that's wrong or hacker report him.

My example: awhile back wen 30 was the cap I was on numa base jokin with ppl there wen this level 5 comes on and shows us his like 20 vanities and almost everyone reports try's to tell a dev or something and me and some1 else r like umm ya know he could've transferred items from another account plus there r many plat vanities so he could be rich too I mean really think first then report if u think its nessacary
