anonrerising | Happy Valentine's!

I adore how this thread, not even discussing the removed rulebreaking version in the starter, just discussing the guns, has gone into a completely off the rails petty as fuck shitshow about the copyright policy and 888.

this happens every time 888 is brought up lol

Really, it's too predictable. And sad. Because if you take the name off, it's a reasonable discussion.

well, OP of the thread started off with '888 is trying to break the rules again and probably has favoritism from the admins' so you could say that it was doomed from the start. maybe if we hadn't named names from the beginning and made weird accusations, the whole baby gun/copyright skin reporting discussion could've gone smoother

i mean we ARE in the wanker thread, even if they started vague people would (rightfully, considering the thread) immediately ask for deets. i read OP far more leaning on the "this user is trying to break the rules" rather than "staff is playing favorites", personally i read the playing favorites as a throwaway line to have plausible deniability if people immediately jumped them for accusing 888 of breaking rules lmao

Fair enough. Rereading the OP, and the thread from the beginning was trying to shame 888 for breaking the rules, not actually concern about skin rule enforcement. Lmao

SA and seeing how many people on this thread seem to be in aaa, wouldn't surprise me if 888 already knew only showing a gun holster was perfectly legal or explained in aaa how the muzzles are the part that's prohibited

I am (albeit not checking too often) in aaa and in my opinion it seemed to me like everyone had more of an attitude of "wow can't believe they caught the IP infringement but allowed the gun", so I do feel like there is some truth in 888 (and let me be clear, *many others as well*, but since 888 is the example here) deliberately testing the rules and bending them as often as possible. I don't know if the whole muzzle context was ever explained since again, I don't check it that often for my own sanity. Similar to how there's a thread earlier in the wanker thread complaining about a red recolor not passing the queue and people pointing out that well yeah, what did you expect, except in this case it's OP complaining about 888 not being caught for that particular issue (yet)

i'd believe that if 888 wasn't regularly accused of staff favoritism by people who seem to hate them for no reason.

plus why would you couch a reasonable concern (ie. is this breaking the rules/should i report it?) with conspiracy theory bullshit like "staff favoritism"??

not the OP so fuck if I know the original intent but considering the attitude people seem to have about "snitches get stitches" when it comes to reporting it wouldn't surprise me if OP fully expected to get told blah blah blah get a life don't report harmless skins etc etc
not sure why the favoritism was raised but i guess it was the only "plausible" other option (eg if WASN'T that mods just haven't noticed the wholeass gun and 888 is just tempting fate by adding it in the first place, then the only ""plausible"" thing would be that they intentionally let it through, which would be the favoritism)

Or the secret third option that was proved true here, which is that the skins don't break the rules at all.

really don't know how you reached the conclusion that it has been proven that the skins don't break the rules about guns - we have one explanation (no muzzle = it's fine) and people disagreeing about if it looks like a modern gun or not, but unless staff literally says "yeah nah it didn't break any rules" then we will never know for sure since we don't know if it's been reported and if they've examined it or not

I mean. The Boothill skin was removed for looking too much like the character. If they took it down for copyright, they obviously examined the skin closely and would have seen the gun. The gun was not labeled as an issue in the skin violation. You can infer from this that there is no issue with the gun in the skin.

Well, without a name, there would be no context and we'd be vague posting like the salt mine. Which is useless. Their tone sucked, but it got useful info in response.

The earlier posters, pre angry dog pile, actually taught me details of the skin rules I didn't know.

Right. Like, wow, I didn't know that the skin rules were this specific.

It's one of those unspoken rules that, if you know them, actually let you get away with things that feel like rulebreaks. Another one I know is that it's actually perfectly fine to stick swords and whatever into and through the dragon as long as there's nothing red.

Happy Valentine's!
