top ten things that overstayed their welcomes
Will add a bit of code to strip colours.
Bump - I know it’s really early for a bump but needs to be seen
Can an exec sticky this for 2 weeks
@Ashaz#12911 ideally this should be retagged to announcements too but i'd let someone like fionn make that call
@Ashaz#12911 Why?
This would already fall under the "Admin impersonating" clause
I will write something when I'm feeling better, I don't fully agree with this or how the rules have been understood.
I am going to re-iterate what I said in the previous thread. I understand that making fake official messages is against the rules, especially if they are designed to impersonate admins or frame them.
However, silly messages, as long as they don't break any other rules, I don't get why we are so against this. I will admit iIve used rawsay as few times for a bit of fun. So I don't see why we can't allow ops to do this (I'm not talking about rawsay here btw, i'm talking about the concept of "faking announcements") it's basically the same as using /me to an extent.
We are yet again trying to do something that limits freedom for the sake of it here.
I think it should be allowed as long as it meets this criteria:
1)It has to be an obviously fake message
2)It isn't used in such a way to frame an admin or player, in which case would fall under section 1e.
We are not on about silly messages. We are on about faking official TF chat announcements and the likes.
I would like to mention that Discord messages shouldn’t been coloured in the first place.
@Fleek#12996 FS-149 have been raised to strip colours.
For clarity, the creation of these fake announcements IS NOT against the rules in themselves. I am more than happy for people to take the piss and do these, I don't see it being a major issue if I'm perfectly honest.
The only rules that I see applying here is 1.E
e. Framing any (ex)member of TotalFreedom.
And 2.B
b. Tricking players into breaking a rule.
If the messages do not breach either of those rules, they should be permitted as they always have been. The original rule of "No you can't make these at all" in my mind is rubbish and is just there to create easy sanctions rather than anything else...
Please apply common sense though folks, that's the bottom line here.
