Donation Chest Theft - Everybody read
« on: January 27, 2008, 12:03:32 pm »
Hello folks,
 
 Everybody knows the rules on theft on the server. Stealing is not allowed on this server and we trust everybody in the communtiy to abide by these rules without the team having to babysit. We need your (the community as a whole) help to make sure this stuff does not continue. Don't let yourself get bullied in to this and don't for a second think it is okay, it isn't.
 
 Sadly we have a group of friends that have targeted a donation chest and are indeed stealing items from the donation box. We know who you are (see below for our PARTIAL database entries). I am giving these individuals (and you know who you are) 24 hours to come foward and admit this then tell the team why they should not be banned outright. If you have not come foward within 24 hours (all of you) the team and I will take actions in to our own hands. One of these individuals started this on the 24th (our logs show that detailed information), you know who you are.
 
 Time for all of you to come clean. Send myself, Harlas, or Dorganath a PM.

Have to agree, this is pretty sad. People seem to forget that its just a game and exploiting it just ruins it for everyone else. I mean in the end we are just playing to have fun.

This has been resolved for now. We will see what happens in the future.
 
 I will be making another post about it not mattering if you can or can't speak/understand english, the rules are the rules and deep down people know what is right and wrong. I mean come on...you can read enough to get your character approved on the server...but you don't understand the rules? .... Right....

Nice! English I no understand when rules be but Hear thee all yon travelers when it comes to roleplay english dost be simple and easy!  Come on now.. you must be kidding that such an excuse can be used.  I have yet to meet a player on this game who can not roleplay in english.  So RUBBISH I say RUBBISH!

maybe there should be a public hand removal for theft when caught

it would make for interesting RP and get the message across when made public

People steal because there is no real reason not to.  There is no effective punishment.  Banning a thief IMMEDIATELY is the only way to make the point.  I'm sorry to openly disagree with policy but a 3-day slap on the wrist is not a deterrent.

If they steal, ban them.  Nowhere in civilized life is this behavior considered acceptable and there is no reason to put up with it in game.  And for those who do it and use excuses as lame and see-through as "I don't speak English well", it's a feather in their underdeveloped caps that they got away with it.

Let's please not turn this into a policy debate.  

Except in extreme cases, we generally give people the benefit of the doubt before handing down the permanent ban for a first offense.
