Replacing the old Code of Conduct with a New Twink Charter

Legitimacy going out the window doesn't even make sense dude. In Europe it's illegal to be banned for selling accounts they hold their license, if I'm not mistaken. It's not illegitimate it any way to sell your account or items info u want to. I worked on my toons for 8 years now. They're mine. If I want to sell them I can and someday might. I might any time for the right price.
This is what I have

I am NOT trying to sell this account in any way whatsoever. But if you want I PM me and talk about my cool stuff we can chat. Maybe you can show me your stuff.

If anyone cares about the legitimacy of anything web based they oprobably have the suicide hotline on speed dial.

It is not "illegal" to sell your account. You cannot be fined or imprisoned for doing so.
Feel free to look at my twink account. I think that one even has a server first on it. Just imagine what my main account has!!

/cheers
 
USD sales are probably not coming back. Talked to myrm about it and to be honest if we ever want a tournament over 10 grand we need blizzards permission, which USD sales here could easily prevent.

I am glad to see that [MENTION=5141]Myrm[/MENTION] is thinking long term.

/cheers
 
What is your deal with "censorship"? Just act civilized and your posts won't need to be edited. It is simple as that. This is a PRIVATELY held site. It can do whatever it wants to do.

/cheers

I take it you're pro-authoritarian. You are of course free to make up your own mind about such things but I will say it is a disappointment to see someone of your ability limit themselves that way. :) Purely a casual aside.

As for the topic, I'm curious. What standards would you personally like to see adopted across this site? Would your style change if you got your wish?

Looks pretty good in content.... but...



......



Arial.....?



Verdana is superior we all know that...


Besides the font being Arial (sarcasm) I kind of dig the content in this CoC. However I still feel like every kid on here is going to say it's still too strict or something. (or am I just inducing reverse psychology o_O) However I still think a lot is up to interpretation with it. Particularly the excessive flaming... I mean there are always going to be those thirsty ratchet side-hoes following some players all over to the deep dark depths of the site just to contradict any post they make, but when does harassment cross the line and become excessive you know?


I think it's a good draft and the content is definitely there and I'm in support of the essence of this CoC and Yde's as well. Honestly I feel like no matter what the CoC says, the bad apple will still piss all over it with breaches and freak out when they cross the CoC and get a warning (or am I just inducing reverse psychology?). I feel like the one bad apple will have a problem with any CoC that is not 100% what that bad apple wants to read in a CoC. I feel as though it's important to consider how the community as a whole feels instead of strictly just catering to the "fuck the police" ones (or am i just inducing reverse psychology?).


The world may never know
 
I really like Yde's version. It gets all the important points across, while being friendly/humorous at the same time.
 
USD sales are probably not coming back. Talked to myrm about it and to be honest if we ever want a tournament over 10 grand we need blizzards permission, which USD sales here could easily prevent.

The Auction House is a Twinkinfo signature. It's sad to see it in it's current state. I don't even recognize it anymore. Plus, if you aren't registered and/or logged in, the section is hidden. Sneaky spent a lot of time organizing and keeping the AH civil, it was worth the upkeep. Paying USD for a twink item is no different than paying for WoW token. It's all relative to gold coming and going. I say bring it back in it's entirely and restore it's integrity.
 
Well from the reports we're not allowed to act on there's quite a few people who don't like profanity. I wish they'd speak up in here, especially certain people should do this instead of complaining to me that we're not acting on their reports.

Very concise CoC in the spirit of the current 19s posting majority.

I've always felt editing a slur out of a post that also contains something else is more respectful towards the poster than deleting it completely because it preserves most of their work. Your wording seems to support the opinion of the people who really hate having a mod edit their posts, because it changes their voice, also valid. I think we should have a poll to find out what people would prefer before going one way or the other.


You mentioned this in the chatbox:
Conq said:
tbh every time an authoratative action occurs on a website the natural culture is harmed

Good point, but I'd argue that it's influenced, not necessarily harmed. No authoritative action can hurt the site culture just as bad. Some peace-loving people may refrain from posting if an entire thread is filled with toxic arguments, or if they expect to be attacked very aggressively. I'm not even talking about the Agonist/Mocha Mr. and Mrs. Smith thing going on lately. With Legion we'll hopefully have a lot of changes and challenges to talk about in all brackets, and I'd love for TI to be the place where most people feel comfortable talking. I just think that your CoC clauses 1 and 5 are too vague to prevent bullying. :/
 
I plan to continue to allow each section to have some degree of autonomy over how they're governed, and once we've drafted a site-wide charter we can have bracket charters made if that's something that people want.

I would be interested in having bracket specific charters.
 
I stopped reading after 4 pages, too many redundant posts. Clean up for better reading this should be a serious topic. Plse-k-thnx.

Except that the IRL money is not going to Blizzard. That is where the difference lies. Certainly TI can't stop real money transactions between people. But, TI just can not longer be used as the tool to do this transaction.
If an enteriprising person was wanting to "trade"(hint) his goods for something other than WoW gold, they could come up with some sort of marketing solution.

Although it would not call the Auction House a TI "signature" by any means at all. Not by a long shot. If anything, the guides are why non members have been coming here for over half a decade.
I can all but guarentee you it is not for the streams.

tried it without this site and, despite your claims, it's not viable. you killed a community.

The difference is the money isn't going through blizzards hands, and it's their game.

Play mad libs! :D

Let us vote people down, and freeze their accounts for 24 hours for posting stupid shit after "x" amount of vote downs.
