naming policy rules... what are they?

You are so wrong. Just wait till we are ready to post the final worded rules. Now stop the attempt to bash me, it bores me to reply to this thread every day.

http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3278

It appears, to me, that you just admitted the naming policy that is posted is not the one you are enforcing. Which also means everything I have stated is true: The only rule is a name cannot be "offensive", you are enforcing a policy that does not exist (yet), and when it does change it will be identical to what you believe it should have been.

Unless you include the non-GM account you have been using to post in this thread (yeah, it is pretty obvious which one that is), you (Cyrius) have not posted in this thread since June 19th. Stop making claims that are easily disproven.

That isn't a bash on you, that is simply stating the facts in a clear and concise manner.

First of all, i do not play on this server, so i do not have a "non-GM account". So oh, i just have to post every 2 days, still annoying. What you still do not get is, i am not the only person that is a "Staff-Member". I do not make such decisions on my own, we make them as a team. Your "facts" are only excistant in your head. If it was only me making those decisions i would have posted that naming policy right in your face.

Nothing you say is "true", besides that the posted naming policy is not up to date yet.

Besides you obviously can not read, i do not have to "admit" that i do enforce stronger naming rules. To quote Nilbog in this thread:

With that being said, he is following almost the exact same naming policy as live GMs used.

We will post more formal rules when we can. (Yeah I don't give a fuck how soon anyone thinks I should do it. The name policies are being reviewed by the Developers and guides.)

That is the entire point of this thread. The naming policy you are enforcing does not exist. The actions you are taking are not in line with the posted rules. You are saying that at some point in the future, the policy will be revised, and it will match what you currently believe the policy should be.

We cannot read your mind. We cannot predict the future. We cannot know that you won't change your mind, again, and impose some other set of not-yet-posted rules set upon the populace.

Even the police cannot enforce laws that do not exist. You, acting the role of cop, are enforcing rules that only exist in your head. Until they are posted the do not exist.

It should not be difficult to understand why the server populace is upset with your actions. You are acting like a rogue cop that plays by his own rules, dishing out your own brand of justice, with no regard to what the posted rules actually state. It is ironic, to me, that you linked a thread that dealt with an identical issue -- guides dishing out loot, imposing decisions that were in flagrant violation to the defined rules, just because you had the ability to do so. And, understandably so, those actions upset a significant number of people.

Wow, gratz on pointing out to the entire P99 forum community that you're enforcing a non-existant rule.

When you actually make it out into the real world and get a real job, make sure you stick to these guidlines so you're employer can fire you as soon as you do something as idiotic as this.

1 - Namiling policy isn't up to date. Check
2 - Cyrius is enforcing a policy that only he and maybe a few others think they are going to be using for this server. Check
3 - Cyrius enforces this unknown naming policy at his personal whim, but apparently leaving a whole slew of people's names that seem to violate this unknown policy because he's having FUN with them and he's not on GM time. Check
4 - Cyrius enforces this unknown naming policy to anyone on the forums who get under his skin before all the other people he's actually come in contact with in game, when he's having fun and not being a GM. Check

The naming policy you are enforcing does not exist.

Wrong, it does excist, but is not yet released since we have to word it correctly to prevent people like you from loopholing it.

The actions you are taking are not in line with the posted rules.

GM-Descretion, i think i fit under this rule?

You, acting the role of cop, are enforcing rules that only exist in your head.

Again, those rules excist, just not for you to read yet.

It should not be difficult to understand why the server populace is upset with your actions.

Are they? All i can see is a handfull of people complaining. If you knew how many people i already renamed. The ones complaining are maybe 1% if at all. Miniority.

You are acting like a rogue cop that plays by his own rules, dishing out your own brand of justice, with no regard to what the posted rules actually state.

Again, i do have access to the rules that are to be enforced, and so will you soon. And i try this also another time, the rules state GM-Descretion.

I am not abusing my powers, not in the slightest. I do not favor one of you over the other, to me you are all the same. I treat you all the same. And i do not care if you are this "mighty" super uber skilled player from random_guild_001, if your name is against the violation, it will get changed eventualy.

The link i posted was to refresh your memory. We do not answer to you. And to quote Rogean again:

The developers of this project put way too much time into this for us to be put on the spotlight every single time we make a decision, ESPECIALLY when you ASSUME you know all the facts. 90% of the time, you don't.

I will highlight the whole sentence to you this time. Maybe its easier to comprehend then.

You should learn to read. Again, those rules excist. Stop wasting my time with this idiotic post.

Not up to date precludes nonexistent.

I'm glad they exist in your head. Can you point me to the nearest psychic so I can find out what those are?

"Wrong, it does excist, but is not yet released since we have to word it correctly to prevent people like you from loopholing it."

I call BS. How hard is it to copy and paste whatever you believe the rules should be, then post them in the rules section? The point is, you have been abusing your powers, and your own words are evidence to that fact. Your actions are doing more harm to the P99 community than a name like "Schade N`Freude" ever could.

Haha, editing your post after i answered to it. Witty.

1 - Check
2 - Almost, those rules will be enforced for this server.
3 - GM Descretion. I rename everyone that sends me a tell or petitions, or gets petitioned if in name violation. As i stated before, i am not running arround Norrath hunting people down, even thou it sometimes feels like it should be done.
4 - It was not me who "dared" me to rename them or scrap the policy. Leaves me only one option, to rename them, since the policy stands.
