The language of you being able to "name and shame" others (etc.) is entirely the kind of language you as a GM MUST fight against, not use yourself.
You just don't get it do you, you took what Rev said out of context.
I could name and shame almost everyone that has posted here crying that they don't know why, I could also post the proof showing you all as liers that it was explained, and you did indeed break the rules
That is all privileged information that normal players do not have access to but the GM team has at there finger tips
The first two words:
I could he didn't say he was going to or I might. He said he "could" or in other word "I have the ability"! Also note that conditional "could" is because as a GM he has the ability to read the logs, and see things you and I and other not on the GM team can only imagine about. Check out his last sentence Barkley,
creator of a map that was wiped off the face of FT because you cheated in it's creation, and you will see:
That is all privileged information
The
bold/italics/underline is mine.
privileged ~ adj
1. blessed with privileges
- like reading "information" in log files not open to other players.
2. confined to an exclusive group
- as in the logs are confined to the select few: the Admin/GM Team
Today the wise man was proven to be correct!
So you say that I took his out of context... did you not take mine out of context too?
I wrote a serious post, that in my sincere belief did not disrespect or misrepresent anybody. I didn't at any point accuse anyone of dishonesty.
As a GM, Reven is (rightly) expected to speak at a higher standard than everyone else. That message isn't any better than a message from a person who just wants to catapult insults at the team, in my opinion, it is worse because it is a person in a position of power who is allowed to say it.
I am aware of what "could" means. But let me give you an example... If a US president said "I could fire as many nukes into Russia as I want"...would you seriously say that that is not a threat? Sure, that's their ability and sure, the threat is not explicit, its implied, but every person with common sense would realise what such a sentence would mean in context.
In Reven's case, the sentence does say "could", not "I will", but in context, it is an implicit threat.

So please keep bashing the GM team for your own mistakes and maybe one day the world will see all the secrets you don't want to come out come out
All them alts used to kill friends pets
All the horrendous language that would deeply upset your mother's
All the people caught auto clicking or just afk
I'm quite sure no player would like there dirty laundry put out in public

Ask yourself, how do you play ft? Do you PvP? No. Do you engage in clan stuff? No.
As a player who simply enjoys their time with things that don't involve PvP, clans etc., all you need to comply with the rules is common sense, and clearly, you have that.
When it comes to clans and PvP, etc., you need actual concrete rules to know how exactly you can and cannot act. However, the rules are rather subjective in such matters.
The core problem with people that engage in such activities being jailed, is just that it is far more subjective than it may seem to someone not actively involved in it.
(Of course, some people intentionally break the rules...those should absolutely be punished.)
I do genuinely wonder though, if I took Reven out of context and didn't get what he meant by writing a message in which he is
seemingly as disrespectful and rude as some are to him...Where did I not understand what he meant? After having read it multiple times, I cannot see anything I misunderstood.
Out of genuine curiosity, what do you think about my actual talking point which I repeatedly try to make?
That being: That the rules should be clear, detailed and enforced as they are written so everyone knows exactly how everything has to go, and not as subjective as they are now.
People who don't speak English seem to get jailed more often (on average). Wouldn't you say that's probably because there are issues to do with translations or similar?
I cannot understand how making things clearer, especially for people who aren't fluent in English, can be a bad thing.
