Was reading @marlenus departure topic searching what was the reason for closing it.
Not really understand why, so i really go take a look again on the forum rules to refresh my memories.
- We do not tolerate any vulgar or offensive behavior. Please be mindful of the way you treat other players.
I don’t see any vulgarity here.
- Any kind of harassment, hate speech or offensive language towards other players is not tolerated. Please be mindful of the language you are using.
Nah, it’s not that.
- Do not post any offensive content, such as sexually explicit, racist, abusive or disrespectful material. Posting NSFW (Not Safe For Work) videos or images is not permitted.
I don’t think so.
- Be civil and do not flame or insult other players. Nobody likes a troll. No matter how fired up the discussion, please be civil.
It was quite a nice and calm topic.
- Respect all players and staff. Bullying other forum members or disrespecting staff is not permitted.
See point n. 4
- Spamming is strictly forbidden. Please do not post any advertisements, offers, competitors’ materials, promotions or spread misguided information.
That was some names of other games, but i can’t consider it “spamming”. Or is it a taboo name other games?
- Only one (1) forum account per user allowed. Creating and using multiple forum accounts may result in a permanent ban of all accounts.
Nope, not this.
- Read the categories and announcements through, before posting anything. Any duplicate threads will be deleted. For example, Alliance recruitment posts go under the Alliance Recruitment category, and all support issues go under the Bugs & Issues category.
It was a farwell topic, not duplicate or wrong category for me.
- Wildly irrelevant topics are not allowed. Please post only topics that fit under the pre-defined forum categories. Irrelevant in this context means all non-game related topics.
If this topic is “irrilevant” then many others too. (But not closed)
- Do not abuse the Flagging function of the forum. Clearly falsely flagging the content of other users can result in the suspension and / or blocking of your account.
Too many flags? Maybe?
- Respect privacy. Posting your own or any other person’s personal information is absolutely prohibited.
Yes, we now know where he used to work and his hobbies but… duh… Is this the reason?
- Do not spread false information or impersonate any player or staff member.
Not the case here.
- Any illegal activities or content sharing is forbidden. Do not post any pirated content (warez), or any other content that is illegal in any way.
Naaaah.
- Do not discuss or debate publicly any of the disciplinary actions taken by staff, moderators or support. This includes: account and in-game chat bans or warnings, forum moderation (suspensions, silences, topic closures or post removals). Posting any private messages or e-mails (regardless of topic) received from staff, moderators or support is strictly prohibited.
Not his case. But is the case of this topic.
Please, don’t consider it as a complaint, but instead a sincere question to understand your reasons and don’t do the same mistakes.
- Mainly English language is allowed. We do not officially support any other languages on this forum. You can write in a foreign language in the [Foreign Languages] category. Some of our active members help out on translations there, from time to time. Please note, that foreign language support is not guaranteed.
No doubt, this is not it.
- Do not provoke or inspire others to act against the Forum Rules or Terms of Service
I don’t think so.
Edit: that was some players who suggest do go against the game rules (not the forum).
Still it was not the OP who suggest it and their post were flagged, so not really need a close?
I mean, if i want a topic closed i just need to go in that topic and act badly?
Reminder: i do know that you have the right to remove whatever you want and that you don’t discuss the way you moderate the forum.
But at the same time if we don’t know where we do wrong same mistakes could happen right after.
