its not just a mere suggestion wen thers a prize involved. Its a rule in rms that any server should not give out items in exchange for reviews.

QuotePrize:
One +10 head gear of there own choice, Omega equips are excluded

and if u scroll down the topic. The moderator even says that some guy already got his prize.

The server admin took down the event thread.

Good thing you took screenshots =)

Ok, that is my bad. Not the admin, the administrator of the Server removed the server name in the list to prevent issues, really sorry if I violated rules, i'll be memorizing the rules here, really sorry to cause issues here.

According to the thread, one user got his headgear.  I still call rule breaker.

Over one item? It could easily be taken away. :X

The server is acting responsible, stopped, apologized, and took their server from the listing. I haven't been here long but I haven't seen anyone act that responsibly. I'd say just delete the obviously number boosting points 100/100s and let them list again.

This was all due to me posting in their forums =)

I feel good, even gave their gm's some very good advice too.  Since most of them seemed to be kids.



Still they did break a rule <.<

Sorry it doesn't work that way.  It is a direct ToS violation.

It could all be the GM's fault but the rule has been broken.  I too feel sorry for the server, server listing/owner but I will have to do my job here.  (I confirmed NostalGia09 is a gm of the server before taking action http://z8.invisionfree.com/macRO/index.php?showforum=1).

Screenshot #2 got me to do a full audit to the server's reviews (the reviewer names pointed me that direction).  What I found was, JBlaze101 and darkheart is more than likely to be the same person.  The same goes to Thanatos0009 and Deathstrike009 too.  One other is suspicious too but without other hint i'll let it go.

Anyway, ignorant isn't an excuse.  He took the time to list the current reviews and compose a set of rules but failed to read our rules/ToS.

Will issue the ban, and listing wont be allowed until at least 2 weeks from date of suspension for first offense.

Thank you for your report.

I should really stick with one opinion <.< First I was all for the rule breaking and hard stomping, then I changed because of a lemon.  Never again I tell you that =.0


Good work yC, great to see you now have firm judgement.
