If you're looking for the 3.7 compiled information thread, it's here. It will be stuck in a few days.

 

 

Hi all,

The following rules changes have been made and are now in effect. If you want to read our rationale behind the changes, please have a read of the feedback thread.

Rule 3. Do Not Troll, Flame, Spam, Threaten, Insult, Belittle, Harass, Attack, Impersonate, etc. Other People

Insults directed at GGG staff will now be removed. Posts directed GGG staff will be held to the same standard as posts talking to or about anyone else. See the end of the post for some examples of what this means.

Rule 6. Price Check and Crafting Questions Should Be Posted in the Question Sticky Thread

The price check/crafting sticky thread has been discontinued. Price checks now must be posted in the question thread. Crafting questions can be posted there as well, but will now also be allowed as separate threads.

Rule 7. Refrain from Posting Duplicate Threads about the Same Topic Within a Short Period of Time

Threads discussing related issues to an existing thread, or someone's own take on an issue covered by an existing thread, are now allowed. Only threads that more or less exactly duplicate existing threads (for example, links to the same announcement or video) will now be removed.

Rule 9. Do Not Solicit GGG's Attention & Feature Suggestion Guidelines

This rule has been removed. Thread titles directed at GGG and pinging GGG staff are now allowed.

 

Rule 3 clarification and examples.

Based on the feedback we've received and our own concerns, we want to make it very clear that we do not want to censor criticism of GGG with this rule change. Criticism of the game and general negative attitudes towards it (or any part of it) are still allowed under all circumstances. Constructive criticism of GGG's strategies or capabilities is still allowed. All we are now policing are actual insults directed at GGG members. Some examples are set out below for clarity. Please ask if you have any more questions about this change (or any of the others).

"Synthesis is sh*t" — fine.

"Betrayal lag makes the game unplayable, it's ridiculous that it hasn't been fixed yet. Get your act together GGG!" — fine.

Any content of the sort displayed in this comment — fine.

"GGG are morons, can't even manage a simple fix" — would be removed.

"1K hour QA team lul" — would be removed.

"Trading is easy to fix, just make an auction house for currency and maps. Solves the sh*tty feeling of trying to buy in bulk but doesn't make trading for gear too easy. But stupid Chris and his idiotic ideas about player interaction mean it will never happen." — Would be removed, but we'd suggest the poster repost without the last sentence. We want to try and avoid hiding legitimate criticism that also contains some insults, but we cannot edit comments or only remove parts of them.

 

These changes have been delayed past when we were hoping to implement them. We will not be stickying the 3.7 compiled info thread for a week or so to make sure people see this thread.
