New Rule Discussion: Stat Posting

[smooshable]

Section 5f.

Stat posting
The posting of other users current in game stats are not permitted on the SGW forums. You are however permitted to post your own.

Consequence:
The offending user will be given one warning point.

Exception: When posting a possible bug or other exploit

Agree with the exception.

Say I were to post a hit I made during a war with Caesar-knows-who.
How far does this "no stats posting" go? Do I need to cross out the entire defence, or can I hint at its size? If I can hint, how obvious can I allow it to be?

Maybe for Vendetta's, the stats posting rule could be part of the 'rules' people set for their particular Vendetta; making it a modular extension of the Rules, with an "on/off"-switch for Vendettas (and wars?) to be explicitly specified in one of the first posts in the thread.

Just brainstorming..

It specifically says CURRENT stats for this very reason. If you've massed the defence down to zero, you can say what it was. If you've just made a naq hit while farming then no you can not.

The Vandetta thing will work if users post their own stats at the start. Again, there's no problem saying things that you've destroyed as if it's destroyed it is no longer current.

if you need someones stats go ingame and spy on them.....

i don't see any reason for someone to post somebody else's stats....

I agree, I also let my thoughts on this known in a thread about this in the general forum

I think you should change it to:


Exception: When posting a possible bug or other exploit, it is allowed to post the relevant stats

What if the person is a confirmed scammer? Can we post his stats then?

guess not, maybe make stat posting allowed in one section??

[James Bond]

what if u selling account, can u post stats there?

[James Bond]

OF course if it's your account you can post your own stats, or if you have the owner's permission. Just like you can post your own RL name, and home address.

LOL.... no you don't get it.

Cheater accounts - well it would mostly like be confirmed as a cheater when admins bans such an account, so then there's no point posting the stats.

Scammers - well i'd have to (unfortunately) say no here because it is not considered cheating here so it would still be wrong in the eyes on the rule enforcers that stats would be posted.

Maybe if THIS thread wasn't created 21 hours BEFORE the one you just cited....

[S1eepy]

only problem I can see, is that if you have destroyed someones defence, you are allowed to say;

I just destroyed Smooshables 28tril defence.. woo

Does this not post the users current stats? being 0 defence?
