Thank you for taking your time and reading this. Stay safe PIMD. With care, Leonardo da Vinci, Leader of Moderation Co-Community developer
Thank you Leo! Now people will see why what I said was okay. Great thread. Just one thing I saw was that you put nit instead of not. Devs please this.
Great thread Leonardo Definite sticky clearly states what not to do. Now there's no excuse. My advice tell your friends to read this.
What's sad is that there will still be people that don't abide by these rules, even after reading this.
Lol I'm laughing at how dumb this is. You right these rules yet I don't see anyone enforceing this. I see mods posting in threads and at the same time I see ppl askig to be sexted and in the forums right were the mods are I see sextig threads that should be deleted yet are allowed to stay (yeah delete some random thread and let the sexting thread stay. Opening up other players is agasint the rules? That's tr dumbest of all rules, this is a war game (and if it isn't why do we have stats? Answer me that) this is how we play. If you want to get rid of your enemies that's one o the ways to do it. And your just implying that, IF I open a player in my CC so everyone can pin him/her I'll get silenced for it?
And your talking about 3rd party content? There's a thread about the "offical palringo group for pimd" shouldn't that thread be deleted? If the devs are ok with that then whatever I'm ok with it as well.
