Now this I enjoy - an indepth discussion on a topic

If you look up pirate search in the community channel, and even type my name, which i thought was UNIQUE, it comes up with SEVERAL "Sassy" names.. so, i don't see how posting the name of someone is a violation
Naming Names in a negatative light - in any properly moderated forums - is considered Flaming / Trolling. The definition tends to sway a bit from Forum to forum (and in this I admit to the typo - when you have several Browser windows open its easy to 'cross-read' them - and I'm only human ).

In a public light of a privately owned forum (and as the Internet proves time and again via the news) people posting information about themselves or anyone else always comes back around full circle (people not being hired via Facebook for example). As this IS a children oriented site whcih trys its best to keep everything family-friendly, there are Policies and Guidelines for posting here which you and all other posters argeed to when signing up (I'm gonna come back to this though )

Of course, we're quiet the understandable bunch, so for the most part smaller infractions are just usually corrected without issue.

since it's not their FACTUAL name, i hope, since that would be BREAKING a rule set by DISNEY... yanno, PERSONAL INFORMATION and all..
Easy to say - hard to put into practice. And here's the problem:

'You hope...' - the problem here is 'you hope' doesn't cut it.

I actually know several younger kids in the game who have actually used their names. They like many others don't bother reading the 'Terms of Agreement' or 'Policy' or anything else and just click the OK Button. Now not only do we have concerns of 'others making bad remarks' against them - but now LOTS of baddies crawl out of the woodwork with the potential to harm a child.

I mean - really - how many times does one read all those ToS agreements? As my previous remarks note: did you read them on this site before clicking the OK Button? Common... almost everyone just accepts them and moves on

But here's an even worse problem - I know of one pirate who used his FRIENDS real name as their pirate... so now not only do we have someone who could potentially casuse issues and be reported (note: the person is not a cheater and is actually a really good player, just an example here), but then the issue becomes one that its the friend who they come after (and pays the price).

Using an alias or a.k.a does not matter since these can be traced back to the orginal person (it may take effort, but it is done). As I did not stay at an Express last night either (though I'm booking a reservation right now LOL ) all the legal jaron that goes with this would neeed to be explored - but in light of POF Policy it does not matter - Naming Names in a bad light is not allowed - real or otherwise

As for reporting to D, thats exactly what should happen! Send them the people who are cheating - thats what the Report Button and its function is for! But - their Policy coveres this - ours does not. Names there are reported without others seeing them except those who control the accounts - here - its the world - and its a big world with big points of view

So, what's the big deal??

Cheaters should be exposed.. If i cheated in svs, not only should Disney be informed of the cheating, but my score gained, gold gained, and such should be removed as it was not HONESTLY earned, and after three violations, i would be suspeneded and upon my forth violation, banned.. Harsh? Not in my mind.
Totally Agreed! Racket, myself and many others I'm sure agree with this statement - in fact forget three times... they should MAYBE get one retry... from the beginning - stripped of everything.

But this is NOT a thread on cheating, it is a thread of a good poster who in another thread just went 'slightly' over the line and the post was fixed - and the 'post correction reason' was taken more personally than what was expected.

I would hope that stands corrected now - and this discussion on cheating can move back to this post:

Countering the Invincibility Glitch

Quote:
Remember they will be holding a cheaters contest this weekend.. So, all you cheaters, have fun and win those prizes!!! [Yeah, cuz that's who's gonna get them..]
Well thats what the Counter thread was made for - so cheaters never win nor prosper... I agree it wil be tough - but never give in!

Off to that Express Room now

Edit: Aw darn... while typing this Racket posted and made everything all washy LOL - now its not as fun
