Why does this game need to be like others? Each game with each updates... Otherwise, what's the point of several games if, after all, they are all the same?
And regarding the comment "take it out of our non-existent paycheck", well, when mods apply for the job, they already know what they are going for... Work and no income. If not happy, then don't apply then...
For people who never spend money, you're bullying them into giving you money. For players who spend frequently, they'll never listen to ToU. They'll just go through 50 silences with probably a total silence time of a day.
You might as well add an option where you can pay 50 dollars and never be silenced. At least then you're admitting that paying any substantial amount of money makes ToU void.
Better yet blockey, if you read the post, he "wouldn't mind silencing more" because it would make more money for the game. So, I guess here that means that silencing players just for the profit of the game... Hm...
I agree with Blockey I don't want Pervs to pay $5 so they can continue to ask for Age, RP, and 3rd Party Apps. I thought the goal of the TOU was to help provide a better and safe environment, not an app where you can pay to Perv.
It would make It harder for mods too. Neon may be alright with silencing more, but that doesn't mean you should assume everybody's willing to do so. If you made it like 40-50 dollars for a permanent exemption it would be easier. Id still prefer no relationship between silencing and money though, lol.
I'm sure Neon is just trying to point out that the current punishment for breaking ToU isn't enough of a deterrent, and as such, is trying to suggest other ideas... Surely you all agree that most silences are fair? And if they aren't, everyone has an equal opportunity to appeal them...
I think that how long time the person is silenced the person is silenced, should depend on how bad the thong was... A perm silence will only occour if it was extreme...
Ahliedel, I agree that most silences by the mods are fair. Why would we let a person pay $5 to avoid their deserved silence?
Mike I only just saw you there! I agree with your point too! Paying for unsilencing would be pointless, as it would allow people to completely disregard ToU.. At present, we are all punished equally.. Let's not take that equality away!
If the whole point is to make money then why not charge .99 cents per forum post. $ 9.99 to unlock a locked forum.
I have this really good idea. How about, just don't get silenced? I mean, its not that hard to follow the rules. If you don't break the ToU, then you shouldn't be so concerned about the penalties for silencing.
Maybe we can all get together and make my plan work. I may be crazy for throwing it out there, but it's quite a possibility.
We didn't create the game. It gets on my nerves when people bitch about a game that they play. If updates don't go right, if there are glitches, if we have to do something that we don't like. If you don't like the ToU and can't respect the devs, support, or mods, then why the hell play the game?
