Could I get Banned?...

[Lucrecia Merlose]

I need to somehow tell a guildmate about POF. I suppose I could use more vague directions, for instance, telling them to google search for it. That may provide a method for which I don't have to post a URL. I just really do not want to take the chance of being banned. I like to keep a clean track record. I understand such bannable situations can be for more specific websites such as the notorious ones that I can not even utter the names of here. However, I know there are a multitude of different Disney employees that keep watch over these things and make different assumptions over URLs. Disney Employee A might over look this as the innocent thing this is while Disney Employee B may be quick to judge, perhaps thinking I may be a sicko luring a child into less moderated waters.

See my dilemma? I really want all my guild members to be familiar with this helpful and friendly community. Any suggestions?

I've told people to sign up here by just being vague, by telling them to use keywords like pirates, disney, online, forum, on google, and its the first page hit.

then again, i should have been banned for alot of things, so YRMV.

idk i too am facing this problem how to tell my friends about it

[Snorri]

I told people to go to pirates online forums, usually they are smart enough to google it or just add the dot com. No ban so far!

I think they just don't like you giving URLS

I've typed in "pirates on line forums" before without any problems. Could have been an oversite on Disney's part, or that may just be accepable.

i have typeed " do a popular search engine on the game title" usually the forum pops up on google as one of the top ones i also tell them to " search engine my pirate nane" that comes up too from my post's on the site, takes them to guest view, from there they can navigate to register, keeping in game pirate name attached to things like email and web has helped me in the work around,to oute limit communicATION VERY NICLEY

Watch out. Even being creative they catch you. I got Das Boot for typing out something using only Caps for the letters that were in the word.

i said disney ( no space ) online ( no space) world . c o m once and i never got banned

[Lady Freckles]

You could try using separate lines for each word - I've successfully steered people here that way and avoided the ban.

Pirates
Online
Forums

If you really want to be careful, could insert some general chatter in between and hope that the person you are talking to can read between the lines.

I they be dunderheaded enough not to search it and find it....well.....me thinks it explains itself

[Bella]

Let me put it to you like this: If you BREATHE Big D will suspend you.

But I have talked with them and if you type in "piratesonlineforums and use the standard ending" you should be ok. If not raise H-E-doubble hockey sticks with them.

Does giving someone the address to this forums site fall under this - "No Cheating - Any use of third party programs is not allowed. Players who use any third party programs while playing risk being permanently banned."

If not I don't see anything in the chat policies that says we can't. Are there some other detailed chat policies Disney has for all of their sites that I'm missing?

Chat policies from the official site:

The Pirates Online Code of Conduct:

Respect your fellow pirates - Pirates of the Caribbean Online does not tolerate any swearing, cheating, bullying or overt harassment toward other players. Disciplinary action will be taken should any one of these occur while playing.


Never reveal any of your personal information - The best way to ensure you stay safe online is to NEVER share your real name, phone number, address, email or passwords with anyone.


No inappropriate talk - References to ***** and sexual, racial or otherwise inappropriate talk are not permitted and are grounds for removal from the game.


No Cheating - Any use of third party programs is not allowed. Players who use any third party programs while playing risk being permanently banned.

This place is the one place I havent been suspended for giving out the url. Even with creative ways they will cut and paste them all together and point that out.

[Bilgepump]

I've used "poforums" with no problems.
