Silkroad Online Forums

This thread isn't questioning your rights and freedoms to do whatever you want to do. So I don't know what the retard that posted this was thinking. This thread is talking about the bare faced lies (95% of the time) being told to us by nearly every member that blurred out his/her screen shot.

I'm not sayin that they should come out and tell the truth and then get banned...But if you're using illegal programs why bother come here and post a screen shot glorifying your accomplishments and stating that the reason why u blocked out your info is because you want to remain anonymous. Ya right....you want to remain anonymous in a game where u want to make friends and quite possibly leave your mark for being one of the best players of SRO...thats a nice story.

Add up the amount of active people on SRF and take 1/36th (36 severs I think)of that total and those are the people whom you're truly trying to "supposedly" remain anonymous from because they are the only few thats from the same server as you. That weakens further your claims. Not to mention that there is rev6 available so why bother hide it here.

1-They won't associate your forum name with your IGN
2-Rev6 doesn't show EVERYTHING (for example, something he caught but can't use)
3-People usually just search for people in rev6 when they pvp them, so if that person doesn't pvp much he won't be searched for as often as others.

4-Maybe before all this EB thing most topics weren't derailed all the time with accusations of zoom hack / lack of yellow boxes and topics actually were useful... Most of the old guides were made by people who get banned... Yet a lot of legits seem to have liked / used those guides...

Damn son, GD never has something they can't complain about.

I'm still not sure wtf the OP wants, is it to ban blocking your name?

Dont say I don't has yellow bawxes mmk?

plz no flam

no this not flam , it cheer

smoky no flam plz oke


any1 can explain me what the hell ur arguing about?
its my rights, i do whatever i want to the picture i post, so whats the problem?

Your comprehension skills are piss poor. Or you're just too lazy to read what I'm getting at.

OMG you don't say the name of your chars on the sig, IT'S OBVIOUS YOU'RE A BOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTEEEER

Actually, it is.
I, and every other member of this forum has the right to hide any information about their selves that they want to. You can't take away someones rights just because you think you have a reason to justify it.
I agree that most people that post screenshots with blurred names do have something to hide; nevertheless there's nothing anyone can do about that, not even the mods. (technically, as again the servers are based in the US.. and if someone were to sue them (lol, that's likely huh) the court would probably laugh at first, but then well.. there might actually be something to it.)
So really.. this topic is useless. We understand why you made it, cool story, most of us already agree and know but it's not going to change anything.



I'm not sure if you realize it or not, but SRF is kind of in it's own "bubble" so to speak. What I mean is, they are one of the last forums who actually care about people botting in iSRO. So the person who uses illegal programs and decides to post a screenshot probably doesn't even feel like it should be any less glorified of an accomplishment as 99.9% of the other players are doing the same thing as him. That's why some new people post their accomplishments without editing their screenshots, and get banned because something is showing. And why some of the older members edit their screenshots, to not get banned. But there are also those who just want to remain anonymous, and that is their choice; and again there's nothing that can be done about that.



You're talking about the game now. Just so you know, we're talking about SRF.

They still apply on this forum, although not stated outright (How could they?) it still applies.
If the player decides to take a screenshot of the game, he has the option to edit out any parts he/she sees fit to protect their privacy.


There's really nothing else to be discussed..
so, in the words of the great Dr. Gregory House:
"Doing things changes things. Not doing things,... leaves things exactly as they were."

There is nothing that can be done, therefore nothing will change.

sarcasm fial? you forgot to censure those dmg numbers

Isn't Holy Word Somekind of Text too? censure them to ^^

There, i fixed that...
I think it's quite anonymous, maybe more Yellow boxes??
That anonymous shit is bullshit (yeah, I know, it makes sense), if i don't have what to hide, I'm not hidding it. Maybe only Nickname, for those begars who are here and stuff.

No it isn't. If Budo and I are on the same wave length it is about why when we know these people are hypocrites trying to hide in plain sight do we never say anything. Why do/did we let this whole ritual of blacking out names in SS become accepted and common place. No one is saying a person should be banned for blocking out their name. But they should be questioned and made to feel as if they did something unusual and not accepted. Their perogative to do it. My perogative to call them on it. We all know why they do it. I think Budo and myself as well are saying is....WHY THE HELL DO WE PLAY DUMB ABOUT IT?!



False. Every time they post we can ask them what they are trying to hide. Let them know we know. Let them know we do not approve. That simple. Yeah it is not some nuke em from orbit option. But there is ALWAYS something that can be done.



Which is exactly why someone needs to show them there "IS" a difference.



Wait did I miss something? When did SRF become part of the Govt?! Gratz Ryoko and the rest of the crew you guys are sneaky! </sarcasm>
By and large that is talking about things that the govt can't do to citizens. It can only apply to citizens limited at best otherwise it would be impeding freedoms. In my own house I can do all sorts of things legally that would get the govt in trouble. Though that has not stopped those like Carrie Prejean, Sarah Palin, and any number of others from open mouth insert foot on what constitutes things like free speech etc.



There is plenty that can be done. We understand you don't want to but that does not change the fact.

Yeah.. and what happens? This happens:
1. person posts blurred screenshot
2. ping_lo: i kno wat u did there and y
3. /flamewar begins
4. ping_lo gets warned by mods, topic gets locked

What an achievement!



Andddd, this helps how? You think that because you say there is a difference they will care? Do you honestly thing that SRF's EB changed Any player or any aspect of the actual game?



The SRF staff are the government of these forums. They have to abide by US laws put in front of them as the site is hosted in the US.



I.. honestly don't care. I laugh at people who QQ about such small things and think they can actually do something about it.

Character anonymity is ridiculous. Anyone who thinks they need it is full of shit (or botting).

ITT: Captain Obvious.

We know that SRF is filled with botters/3rd party users.
We know that most censored images are posted to prevent the botter from being identified/banned/flamed.
We know that it would be total bullshit to ban for censoring images as it isn't concrete evidence.

So, honestly, what can you guys do other then whine about this issue?

For the people like zShared who's consistently misunderstanding listen again. You even quoted me but still can't comprehend. I DONT CARE ABOUT RIGHTS...I know anyone can post anything..I and do mean anything..and they can block out or blurr anything as they wish and in any blocking and blurring out fashion they choose...Get that through your brain...My point is while they block out their info and when ask why.. they lie out flatly to our faces about the reasons with crap like anonymity. If you don't understand that then I can't make it any clearer.

I AM NOT HERE TO TELL ANYONE THAT THEY SHOULDN'T BLOCK OR BLURR THEIR INFO...JUST SPARE US YOUR PATHETIC EXCUSES AS TO THE REASONS WHY...BECAUSE ITS RETARDED. WE KNOW YOU'RE JUST TRYIN TO HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT.

Agreed that privacy should be respected. But lying and use privacy as excuse is pathetic.

okay people... that yallow bawsex and blurring all the whole ss its an old joke :0

o-rly? yeah, really

You heard it right here folks!
lmao

Can somebody answer my fucking question please?

What is it exactly you guys want? Put it in simple english ffs.

Selective hearing I see. Or you're just a plain dumb a***. Why not quote the other parts of that post showing that I'm not here to trample on anyone's rights to post whatever they want?.. You're just making yourself look pathetic as you grasp for straws. I see that other people understood me by now but you still in the dark...tsk tsk

+1
