Can details of players Stats be freely posted on the forum or is this a no no?

I.e.

Gamers name?
Gamers level?
Gamers attack Level?
Gamers defence?
Screen shots unedited?

Im new and just wanted clarification

Judging by your response I'm pretty sure you don't trust me. Excellent foresight.

Ps *replies. An apostrophe before an s signifies ownership of an item.

Well, under the Posting Guidelines, #6 of the "please DO NOT" section, it says: (please DO NOT) reveal your or anyone else's personal information. I assume that that also refers to stats? I could be mistaken...

DO NOT) reveal your or anyone else's personal information
Name
Address
Phone number
Email
Social security number
Age

But does that also cover public in game data?

can a mod clear this up?

They are public for everyone to see in game. Why would you get introuble for posting it here on the forums. You are good to go. Post peoples stats at your hearts content.

They have a lot of Grey areas in the T&C do the Mods read this or how do we contact a mod to ask?

Mods do not useally talk. They read but do not talk. If they even read at all. but dude posting soemoens stats is not that big of a deal i think you are over thinking it a little. You do not need a mod.

It’s just an observation but, the people with the most posts are the least helpful. Do you have a lot of Trolls on the forum just posting dribble to get a high post level?

Don’t want to sound disrespectful. :o

I have no idea what rule 13 is either... but in the Mollies thread, some idiot cited it as the reason why this is against the TOS.

That "idiot" would be me and i see they changed it in the new posting guidelines to rule 6 . Yes it falls under posting personal information, but i would love to have one of the mods clarify this once and for all. So A&F , cj or anyone else please respond to this thread with your final say :-)

Dipstik
10-14-2013, 06:57 AM
Well it's not personal information either. And "Rule 6" of the TOS has nothing to do with posting people's private information. Do you mean the unenumerated forum rules when you say this is "against the TOS?"

Randolph
10-14-2013, 07:09 AM
Yes dippy, thought you would understand that thou lol guess i have to be more clear next time for you :-)

Ill post a pony next time pointing in the right direction ok?!

Dipstik
10-14-2013, 07:17 AM
You said this was against the TOS... I said it wasn't. You quoted "Rule 13" and I asked "rule 13 of what?" You never answered.

Also, posting someone's stats on the forum is not "personal information."

TMI
10-14-2013, 07:25 AM
actually, i think it's ok to post someone's stats. from my time on the forums, i've seen it a few times. you just can't call someone out their ingame name for cheating/hacking.

One notable exception to posting player stats, was when there was a thread about a player database. someone posted bald zeemer's stats off of that database and that post got removed (presumably from a mod)

So I think you can post a player's stats, as long as it's not stats from the player database (which turned out to be a violation of TOS), or you don't call them a cheater/hacker.

Randolph
10-14-2013, 07:37 AM
Well since its impossible to know if it came out a the players database i assumed its not allowed. But i can imagine a whole new trend coming when the mods give the greenlight to post it freely. Maybe a new forum section called Hitlist :-)

It's against the rules. Mods have removed a lot of posts for having players names. If you post a screenshot you have to block out the name. They tend to let certain people get away with it though because they have there favourites.

Its against TOS to post un-edited screenshots of a rival..
If u're willing to post ur own stats..its okay.. Screenshots may be posted as long as u hide the LVL and character-name.
Stats are no problem..but not in combination with playername and/or lvl.
And u can't call them cheaters..
Cheaters are to be reported through contacting support (pref with un-edited screenshots)

That's true. If you accuse someone of cheating, especially if they are in one of the top syns, no matter how much evidence you have the mods will ban your account.

I think the mods take it on a case by case basis, and accusing people of cheating while posting stats is probably the worst case scenario. I imagine there are many cases where posting stats are a lot less offensive, and they might let that slide.

Excuse me, I'm eating a BAGEL right now. With strawberry cream cheese, thank you very much.

Anyway. It kind of depends on your intent. If you're posting someone's info saying "OMFG DIS GUY IS CHEATING!!!" or "F*** THIS GUY!!" or "OMGF U GUYZ DIS GUY IS A JERK GO ATTACK HIM 4EVER!!1111!!!!" ...that's not cool.

So .. what is your intent? It's probably okay. Otherwise, you'll find out when I delete the post =p

A&F is correct, it depends on the intent. If you're trying to get everyone to go spam someone's wall with cuss words or other verbal harassment, not cool, or if you're just going to call someone names. If you want to discuss what is going on with something you saw in-game, or ask questions about how they got what they have, fire away. We mainly just don't like people starting harassment campaigns on the forums.

It's one of my Favourite snacks :) and when I can't find it in the store, I just blend some plain cream cheese with strawberry jam! Which, if I think about it, is actually better lol
