Questioning GM Decisions

[booter]

Something I've been thinking about...

Threads that start in Server Chat should stay in Server Chat (or any other forum where they start). If a legitimate complaint is brought up to the staff, it is all too easy to get the thread thrown into RnF. Once it is there, useful discussion stops and oftentimes the issue is lost.

It wouldn't be that hard to do. Instead of seeing a flame in a post and going "well I'm just going to throw this into RnF now," just warn/suspend/ban the poster who clearly can't follow forum rules so that the adults can continue discussing the topic, while the forum trolls slowly get weeded out.

Could you have people click something to where they agree to certain things to be allowed to play? Such as the files used recently?

Mitic people who cheat will always cheat. This won't deter them you give them too much credit or perhaps not enough.

Stop right there. There is nothing immoral about cheating, it is unethical. An immoral act is genocide against six million Jews, 500,000 Kurds, or a theistic oppressive regime's acts (like the Taliban).

An unethical act is cheating on your spelling test.

Calling cheating immoral in a fucking emulated Everquest server is saying Bush or Obama = Hitler.

Cheating is wrong on this server, and something to be avoided by players and punished by GMs. But to say that cheating on MMOs is immoral shows a remarkable lack of comprehension...of the English language and...well...what words mean.

Let's tone down the rhetoric/mudslinging and call cheating in P1999 what it is: an act that breaks the rules, and is by no means comparable to stealing ketchup packets from a restaurant.

You're the one with the lack of comprehension. Look up the word immoral and then come back.

1. transgressing accepted moral rules; corrupt
2. sexually dissolute; profligate or promiscuous
3. unscrupulous or unethical immoral trading
4. tending to corrupt or resulting from corruption

mo·ral·i·ty
   [muh-ral-i-tee, maw-] Show IPA
noun, plural -ties for 4–6.
1.conformity to the rules of right conduct; moral or virtuous conduct.
2.moral quality or character.
3.virtue in sexual matters; chastity.
4.a doctrine or system of morals.
5.moral instruction; a moral lesson, precept, discourse, or utterance.

I'm sure I could find various sites with definitions more suited to my point but you could get to the words honesty, integrity, to honor and then where are you?

There are two types of people in this world those that think cheating is nothing unethical or immoral because they only relate those words to genocide. That a white lie is not a lie. And those people are what I like to call wrong.

I would not say that is always true.


The only way to deal with people that get caught using SEQ/MQ is to banish them to red99([You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]) or a seq/mq server. I would go so far as to say why not open a p99 server that allows everything the current p1999 does not.

Twoboxing,MQ,SEQ,Training,KSing etc etc...
