well
there ya go taking away our freedom of speech again lol
i get you don't tolerate bullying, but completely forbidding speaking negatively about a person or a team is just ridiculous

as much as i am for free speech, this isn't that bad as you're making it out to be
there should be a standard to be upheld at least in 'public'
this isn't targeting a lot of players tbh, they can still say what they said before for the most part
it doesn't prevent criticism at all, but there's a difference between being a whiny brat who thinks they're entitled to the teams' works and giving suggestions and insight on how the team is working with the vp community

There is, that's why I was afraid they were banning both - that doesn't seem to be the case though, so sorry if i stirred something up

But speaking 'negatively' is such a broad term - that's all i'm saying
of course people shouldn't bully and trash talk people in forums, startalk or even private messages, but you can't just tell people they can't speak negatively about anything ever
what if someone had a genuine complaint/issue about something on the site and they didn't feel like the mods took they seriously when they asked? (just an example, i imagine you guys are really helpful if people have problems, it def seems like it from what i've seen) Shouldn't they be allowed to go on startalk or into forums and say "hey guys, are you experiencing this too? I don't feel like i'm being treated fairly"
Negative speech is usually part of constructive criticism, and if you want feedback or help with ways to make the site better then you kinda need negative speech, eh

silencing everyone, because a small amount of people have been provocative/rude doesn't solve anything, imo

We aren't silencing anyone. In that case, I wouldn't call it talking negatively about someone as long As they didn't go "hey guys, Hotlips has been a bitch, anyone agree?" (Just for example).
I can change it up to make it more understandable of what we mean, one second

Alright, maybe I misunderstood
Either way, I'm glad you're willing to try to make it more clear, because from what you wrote it seemed like all kinds of 'negative' attitude/behavior/speech would get punished (at least to me)

What so you think about the change? Anything you feel I should change/clarify?

There's been atleast two occurrences --unsure if its the same person or not, can't remember the usernames-- where people have been selling code items because they had 2+ sets of them. In the thread they were asked where they got them they said two friends had sent them their copy of the sets specifically so they could get a profit from it. It seems really suspicious.

If you want more info shoot me a message! I don't want this to possibly turn into a callout post.

Oh yes I know exactly what you're talking about. If it's fairly obvious that it wasn't their friend (ie their accounts are connected) then they will be given the proper punishment

what if you share the same ip as a family member? c:

Most have already told a team that it's a family member if they live with me.

For example I live with @Draizor007

oh okey well i haven't told any team. Mostly because my sister is not super active and she lets me claim the codes since she knows i use them more. But maybe i should message teams so she can claim them sometimes herself too c:
