The former Scamming forum is now a subforum of ooOOOoOOooOoOOOoo, which will allow the threads and post content to be read by all members, and indexed in the forum search utility, but no new replies or threads can be created.
A new rule has been added to the forum rules prohibiting personal accusations of scamming (naming EU avatars or EF members).
We will also move several threads that ouline some of the more common scamming tactics (such as armor upgrades, armor coloring, etc). into the Sticky threads area and Noobs corner to help keep new members informed on how to avoid being victimized by would-be scammers. |
Was it part of the new policy to purposely delete the scamming post about a well-known uber player in a closely related society? I went to go find it and all references to it seem to have been completely removed, while other scamming posts were copied over to the new location.
My understanding was that post followed the rules of the scamming thread at the time, so I'm not clear why it was deleted while others were copied over. It had already been locked, and obviously was not a gross abuse of the rules at the time it was posted or else it would have been removed immediately. Am I to understand that friends of the forum and it's owner/mods will get extra protection to their reputation dispite their mistakes?
Don't get me wrong ... I don't wish to rehash that particular "scamming" report ... but it bothers me that there is no reference to this post at all left on this site, as if it never appeared, while the other posts from that forum were copied over without hesitation.
From what I heard, the reason the poster decided to make the post here was because he felt passionate about ubers' mistakes/scams/disputes not be covered up as favors while only lower-level players are exposed. It just feels like this is what is happening here ...
