Rules need to be clear

[Richie]

I'm confused to why I received a warning for:

A3. Do not accuse others of scamming or hacking, or any other illegal activity ~ making baseless accusations only leads to arguments and often members are targeted wrongly or unfairly. We do not allow you to accuse anyone of hacking, scamming or illegal activities with or without evidence so as to maintain a positive atmosphere about the forum.

An accusation -To find fault with, to blame, to censure; To charge without having committed a crime or offence


I had solid proof that the site was illegal, If it wasn't, the users host wouldn't of suspended them. I was under the impression that my post was completely legit & not breaking any of the forum rules as the person did actually commit a crime / offence.

• Nulled vbulletin forum
• Copyrighting a piece of work which wasn't actually created by them

This is the second time in two days that I got a warning for something that wasn't actually breaking any rules.


This usernote as well as the other should be removed as I did nothing wrong, I was following the rules, if anyone's to fault its habbox as the rules were actually worded wrongly.

Looks pretty clear to me tbh!

I see Rule A3 as this: Accusing anyone of illegal activity/hacking with or without 100% evidence is still breaking that rule, I believe having a nulled vBulletin hosted is classed as illegal? If so, then that is obviously breaking rule A3 because you are accusing them of taking part in illegal activity.

Yes, but its not an accusation its a fact.


These rules really are stupid, let me get this right. You can post illegal content, forums & such things that breach copyright terms. Yet I can't point out the fact that its illegal? its been done in the past, if you really want me to prove a point il dig up old posts just to prove I'm right.

If you have proof then you are not accusing them of doing something illegal, you KNOW they're doing something illegal.

You are still accusing someone, whether you have proof or not.

oh my god STOP COMPLAINING

Lol Moderators don't even know how long usernotes are considered for. Staff are getting crap every day.

Meh, I don't really care about the usernote, I just want to make clear:

An accusation -To find fault with, to blame, to censure; To charge without having committed a crime or offence


maybe it could be tweaked a bit

Well we have always been told they last 6 months, then Garion posted that it's 2 months it's hardly us that don't know. Obviously now I think it's been corrected and everybody knows what's happening with them.

About the rule, I don't think that it was really breaking the rules but if management think it is, it must be!
