If you are being reported for a crime would you want your picture in the news and later it turns out to be someone else who did it? That is why they do it the way its being done, name and shame.

I would think the news agency is the one that should be ashamed. If they falsely accuse me of something I haven't done, they can go fuck themselves and that's that. Why should I care that a stranger formed a negative opinion of me based on false information?

Yeah, saying something like "PoE is shit and GGG are evil" is completely unwarranted.

Now saying something like "GGG should get their asses in gear and instead of fixing a niche skill gem exploit, fix the even more massive desync issues that have arisen after 1.2 and 1.2.1" is however warranted.

I just don't get how I'm supposed to know what is antagonistic to someone else.

Just about everything can be antagonistic to someone, I could say hello, and one could be offended that I spoke to them.

A lot of things that are meant as jokes and fun get taken far too seriously on this forum, it seems the mods just completely want a ban on anything humorous. Though the one thing I'm tired most of is constantly seeing other posters getting away with and being completely ignored by the mods for writing the same kinds of things that they would instantly warn / probate me for just because I'm on their shit list.

Its like they want to find any possible way that they can to make what I say against the rules. E.G. Once in game, someone mistyped 'guys' as 'gays'. Simply replying to that obvious slip up with 'lol, gays' gets me muted instantly for hate speech towards gays.

I think the mods really ought to stop spending all their time focusing purely on their shit list only, and if they are going to try and enforce such a ridiculous ruleset, then apply it to everyone. 'Oh but other peoples posts weren't reported'. Neither were the posts made be people on your shit list, you just find any reason to mute / probate them because you find it fun.

FYI I'm now reporting any post that I see which I believe violates the forum policy. If you have an issue with this, then dont take it out on me, I was told to do so by the mods themselves and I'm fed up of other people constantly getting away with things that I would be instantly warned or probated for.

I ignored this moderator request for a very long time, but that has now ceased to be the case after my 1 month probation. I will do exactly what the mods say now including reporting other rule breakers.

I got to say that I am happy that GGG is really being serious about their "No Name and Shaming" policy. They even edited posts that "name and shamed" a person whose account was actualy banned by GGG. This shows that GGG has consistency and integrity when it comes to the "name and shame" policy, which is a version of "no hateful post" policy.


(No sarcasm, seriously :) )

so apparently just mentioning the Word RMT in a post make you edited, because the Staff think using this word is advertising it.

GGG needs to remove this thread until they are capable of making it the truth instead of the bullshit it is.

HEY MODERATOR!!!!

This forum post about Bandit Griefing has a list of "Victims"

An even-handed application of the "No Naming and Shaming" policy would be to edit the names out, and deal in an appropriate way with the author.

I'll leave that to you, and watch to see "Integrity in Action"

A list of Victims ?

it's not ! Role play dude played with the history of the game in mind and did something we should always do, having fun while respecting our ennemies.

He did such a thing asking them to Rest in default.
