Forum Postng Rules need To Be Updated?
« on: September 24, 2024, 03:01:27 PM »
So a post I made got deleted and I just took +20 points for " Do not post PMs publicly. " because I posted a PM Publicly to these boards.

I just reread the rules "AGAIN" ... Can some one please point out to me where the heck in the rules it says " Do not post PMs publicly."?

According to Skuzzy's "Forum Posting Rules - All users read!" Post

"By posting anywhere on this bulletin board, it is assumed all users have read and understand the following posting rules.

1- Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Users are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting.

2- Threads should remain on topic, do not "hijack" topics.

3- Do not open a new thread that duplicates a current topic.

4- Flame baiting, flaming, being abusive, being disrespectful, trolling, spamming or posting to incite or annoy is not allowed. If you cannot make a positive contribution to the thread, then just stay out of it.

5- Members are asked to not act as "back seat moderators". If you feel a post violates the forum rules, the use the "Report to Moderator" link in the post to report it.

6- Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated. This includes attempts to bypass the profanity filter.

7- Cheating allegations or descriptions are not allowed. Email support@hitechcreations.com to report any issues regarding this. HTC permanently bans anyone caught cheating in Aces High. We take cheating and allegations of cheating very seriously.

8- Complaints about a player's behavior online should be emailed to support@hitechcreations.com rather than posted to this board.

9- Users are permitted to upload one of their own avatars. Avatars must be in good taste and consistent with the other rules of this board.

10- Do not punt topics. Punting would be making a non-substantive post for the express purpose of bring the thread to the top of the thread list.

11- Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing". That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large, small or colored text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts.

12- All posts, in public forums, should be made in the English language.

13- Threads started devoid of commentary will not be allowed (i.e. links, cut-n-pastes, clicky, read this...)

14- Posting topics or threads which are based on politics, race, or religion is expressly forbidden.

Posts and threads may be edited, deleted, or locked for violations of these rules. Continued or blatant violation of these rules may result in a temporary or permanent ban.

If you see a post which may violate the above rules, please make use of the "Report to moderator" link provided in the post in question.  You may also provide your reasoning on how it violates the above rules."

So you see anything in there that says anything bout posting PMs Publicly?

Maybe I Missed it.

Maybe if mods are going to make up or change rules they can EDIT Skuzzy's "Forum Posting Rules - All users read!" to show their newly made up rules.

Maybe the "Mods" should actually do their damn job and do something about people sending nasty grams and players personal Data through private messages, If they did I would never had made the offending post in the first place.

But then again maybe I'm asking to much ... It obviously takes way to much effort to edit "Forum Posting Rules - All users read!" and add "#15 - No Posting Private Messages Publicly to the Boards"

Just Sayin!

P.S. Ya I don't think I'm resubscribing anytime soon.

See if someone is using a PM to try and slam people, I disagree. 

Maybe PM's should be done away here like the game?  Always seems like the same psychopath type are the ones abusing it

I can't imagine the things these hate PMs have for content... nor do I care.

But if it's inappropriate to post on the BBS.. don't send it PM.

PMs can be reported just like posts can be.

Isn't there only 1 moderator on these boards now. And I am pretty sure he makes all the rules even the ones that are unwritten rules.

No offence but see rule 4….. while it doesn’t explicitly say no pm’s it could be considered as flamebaiting.


In all my years here I’ve only been warned once,for what I honestly don’t recall.

With that said I’ll leave this and say it’s just a game…..

I'd be willing the wager now that I don't see GT101 online anymore, the amount of PM abuse in the MA dropped by 75%.[this guy was by far the leader of reports I'd bet]

At least if we disable PMs here and turn them on in the MA, it might force someone to play the game and talk sht rather than stalk people on a bulletin board.

He'll maybe even GT101 will come back and we have 1 more pilot, just muted all the time.

Well when a thread gets locked that I get notifications from, I get an email that says "'Rosie' has locked a thread you are following", However I thought Carrie "Rosie" Brooks left during the start of the Covid-19 Debacle that we informally refer to as Operation Enduring Cluster "Fudge" (I have the Morale Patch).

Meh! locks are for honest people.

If you were a victim ya might think different.

Vraciu and KnorBs are PM bombers with threats, frothing at the mouth, and like Mayhem stated. KnorBs bombed my PM for 10 (TEN) hours.

It's only been a handful of dweebs. But they prance around here like they own the place spitting on everything. V has so far gotten away with things that are just way off the charts, on bbs, 200 and PMs,... yet still here romping around.

AH needs a posse to start to go after these player chasers. Its WAY too much. The game itself is fine, it's the trash we have to take out.
