Is this illegal?

[Comrade]

He said that the player wasn't kicked if the /ad disguise was so clever that Admins wouldn't be able to spot it. If you do make an ad though and I ask you what you are selling, it means the ad in question is still suspicious.

And if they answer drugs, are you going to punish them? Even though the ad was not only disguised but also roleplayed?
You deal with the illegal ads. Let the cops deal with the suspicious ones.

I wouldn't. Though if I investigate and find out that it is indeed related to drugs, there will be punishment.

[ChasKa]

I wouldn't. Though if I investigate and find out that it is indeed related to drugs, there will be punishment.

If you do not relate it to drug in the first impression, the ad itself means "not obvious" and can be so-called "successfully" disguised so you don't have to investigate it becasue if it even is a drug deal,it does not viloates the rules.

there have been occasions where a player has made an ad that I have suspected might be about drugs, but it is so cleverly disguised that it was not obvious. In all those occasions the player was not kicked.

To look deep,it's not difficult to find that even the admin team do not have a consensus on defining "illegal /ad"

[Comrade]

I wouldn't. Though if I investigate and find out that it is indeed related to drugs, there will be punishment.

According to Aragorn, you can only punish if the ad is non-roleplay.

[Nathan]

According to Aragorn, you can only punish if the ad is non-roleplay.

Wrong. Any advertisement that is selling illegal items will be punishable. Illegal distribution includes but not limited to weapons and drugs.

[Kojak]

Admins can investigate anything they like; if it's obvious then there is no need to investigate, if it's suspect they can choose to investigate.

No one has said that illegal ads that are cleverly disguised are allowed, but if they are so clever that the admins can't tell then you have effectively gotten away with breaking the rules.

The local magazine is not filled with people attempting to sell illegal drugs in public advertisements. RL analogies are invalid in this case.

So Aragorn is wrong?

No one has said that illegal ads that are cleverly disguised are allowed

Correct, however Aragorn did say that "as a non roleplay stuff it can be punished".
Finding "Green Tea" in your newspaper is counted as roleplay, I believe.

Honestly, I'm really confused here and got no idea who I should believe.
Aragorn said that, you say this, things don't match up.

I wish he'd come and clarify.

Aragorn said that such ads can be punished by Admins for reason of being non-roleplay. However, illegal ads of any nature are also not allowed.

There is no contradiction, unless you are trying to find a way to get around our rules... which you seem to be inclined to in this topic, as seen by questioning the admin position on illegal ads and going so far as to try and point out loopholes in our work.

Alright, enough of this horseshit. I don't care if you choose not to believe me; it has been made clear what is not allowed, so go ahead and make all the illegal ads you like and see what happens.
