Advertising other servers on RS5

[Aiden.]

No, since I don't remember it, but I can tell you that he and you(?) advertised your funny server.

I never advertised any server have you saw a dream ?

[Kessu]

How about implementing a system where you can't introduce an IP address in any chat?

#1 It's easy to bypass.
#2 Wouldn't solve anything, you could still advertise by the name of the community/server.

Argonath, a world of it's own.

  Now, being on the topic more or less, regarding advertising other Argonath servers on.. any other Argonath server: Is it allowed or prohibited?
   Some admins warn/punish for that, some admins not. My question is, could we advertise other Argonath servers on other Argonath servers?
   Example:
   <Advertisement on the RS5 server>
   ''/ad [r]Argonath Stunt | [.b]Grand Cops vs. Robbers Event | [y]Starting soon!'''
   

Really there have been punishments for this? Your advertising an Argonath server within another Argonath server... your helping promote(get noticed) the other servers within the bounds of the community. I used to regularly see advertisements for the SA-MP stunt server here and did I punish? Nope and nor did anyone else(then).

Add the friend on a Social Web and tell him/her the informations about the other server.

Doing something that may be bannable if done on Argonath over Facebook or Skype or whatever does not guarantee immunity. This is not exclusive to simply advertising a server.
One incident in particular - I have seen someone refuse to unban a banned player until they admitted that they flamed a certain someone over skype... the "admit it or stay banned forever" bit is a whole 'nother story.

This topic should be lock since it's not YOUR PERSONAL OPINION but a rule that should be abided.

So what you are saying is, we should not be allowed to discuss rules and ask questions about them in order to further understand them?

No. Good on you, Zaila, for keeping the topic open.

There are plenty of "technicalities" that people can and have been banned for, despite them and fellow players not knowing about it. People will always interpret things differently, so it is up to those who are subject to the rules to inquire about how they should be interpreted in order to ensure they are followed true to the vision of those who created them.

Shouldn't it be considered good that we care enough about the rules to discuss them, and want to know more about them? It is good to have an inquiring spirit, and it should always be encouraged, lest we all become slaves to the ideas of others.

I've seen people punished, but thats for not stating which Argo Server it is.

Argonath's sovereignty should be protected.

Well I guess if it's stated anywhere in the chat like this:

Player : 178.63.52.144

Then I can see why but not to the extent of an actual punishment... instead a message to them to next time state it's an Argonath server. Though I have always said as an admin in one of the servers you should be somewhat familiar with our IP's.

Yeah. Totally agreed.

Yes. I once promoted Argonath MTA on the rs4 server and got warned not to. And yes, I had clearly stated it was Argonath MTA.

^^.
A server depends on its players to be successful. It is therefore implied that a server should allow its players to discuss server issues, as Argonath does.
Well, unless a server wants to depend on an extremely unhappy player base... good luck with that.

We leave the topic unlocked because unlike other communities we do not disallow people to challenge our ideas and discuss.

Quite wrong I say.

[Jaka_Lah]

Why is it wrong? samp is now one of the popular kids (7 players strong daily) it doesn't want to split it's members to other servers within the comunity..

He is referring to the warning, not the fact of advertising an MTA SA server within the community.

If you decide to run around blatantly disrespecting one servers team by going and saying "Come to this server its better" then of course you will be punished no matter who you are.

There's no problem in players going and advertising events and other things however if you want to run around stating one is better than the other as well as disrupting players there will be issues.

Please don't try and judge calls without knowing the full story.
