@ ghosting
I can only tell you how I'd see the usage of general chat since there is no "nailed" rule to the board just yet(I thought we wouldn't need one at first actually).
Since FH is a big game, with some big maps, alot of people talk in these chats.
As we all know local goes to the ones closer around you within tag sight. And general.. Well it goes to the whole map.
This means that if someone talks on general, EVERYONE will see it within a map.
Does everyone within the game need to know you powerplayed slapped someone 500times?(took this from the ingame chat just now). No they do not, does everyone need to know how you ingame raped someone earlier? No, they do not. General should be treated gently if you ask me, and not be used like it is some sort of msn group convo.
Now compare these:
Someone hosting a warriors cat roleplay next to ficho tunnel
And someone says that they peed on someone in the game and the writes 3 rows afterwards with faces such as >_>.
Which one of these are the more important ones? Could you tell someone in local next to you that you peed on them? Could you use local tell people on the other side of the map that you're hosting a roleplay?
We already have rules about not talking innapropiate things, not spamming and no swearing, and also a rule that says that you should listen to mods. And yet, some people don't even think twice and give the mods more work, and then call the out for doing a bad work, such as this thread.
People also say that they see other people spam general, but yeah.. Does this make it ok for you to robb a store just because you saw someone else do it? Ofcourse not.
Alright, so it's unfair since you want to talk to someone on the other side of the map and tell them how much you hate justin beiber. Well what about the whisper function, doesn't that work? What about friending? What about group conversations?
If a mod thinks people shouldn't be abusing the chat, then why not use the other ones?
The mod banning someone and being harsh is one thing since there's always a chance for them to feel they got treated wrong. But the rules, and ingame functions makes it easy to stay away from getting these. And mods really just do what they're meant to be doing. Sorry for all the question marks, but I want people to think for themselves abit.
We could indeed use some sort of rule that helped users from being confused about this. If someone else think that general chat should be used in another way then it's their oppinion. But as someone that helps on this forum as much as I can. And also someone that like to play the game. I really don't understand what the mods did wrong.
I also don't see what kind of things people use to deffend themselves when they say that the mods are wrong and they should be free to do as they like even though everything is there, right infront of their noses.
I also want to quote this that I said earlier.
The only reason why people really turns against this is probably because...
They usually hang in general all clogg it with crap just as some of those that got seen.
They havn't been on enough to see how bad general can get in some situations.
Their friend(s) got into trouble for not listening in the first place and want to deffend them.
Or just because they like to argue for funsies? lol.
So is the problem really that mods were too harsh and going on a rampage? No, it isn't.
We also had 3 administrators inside this thread out of 5. And raz did say earlier he get edvidence that talked for the mod, not against it.
Does people get a thrill out of creating these threads? I'm starting to think so.
To make the entire thread short
-Could use a rule that just points towards that the general chat aren't meant for spamming, and that mods should be listened to(Though there already is?)
-People got banned and aren't happy about it
I will also say again, mods are here to keep the game place clean and calm, just as this forum.
Not much more to say.
