its not "can" or "can't".. its more like "do we want" or "we dont want"
And saying "there is a Player Pirate in Sol. carefull guys" is fairly safe imo.
Why is posting about a real human bounty considered shaming? Enlighten me!

I noticed that some individuals on my friends list are wanted by system authorities. Some bounties are as large a 500,000cr. The CPU uses language like wretch or vermin to describe bounties. With the new update posting real players as top 5 bounties, I am trying to figure out why posting about a human player being wanted and using the language the CPU uses is considered shaming? Or was it considered shaming pre update?What makes the game unique these bounties are real players and makes hunting the vermin even better!(ex) I love tracking the filth(ex)!
Thanks!
The forums are the forums and not the game.
The difference is huge.
Things can get out of hands quickly here and it is that what they want to prevent.
Seems reasonable.
And that's the thing, I've been called out for grey comments before, but I recall having an arguement in a CG post a ways back in GPP with another forum member about him attempting to pirate me and failing over and over, getting mad that I was escaping in a T6 without shields, and he was calling me a combat logger, etc, (even though I hadn't, he was just miffed, lol) and we went back and forth, but nothing ever came of it. Luck of the draw, I suppose.

But is saying ''there is a player murderer in Sol. Be careful guys'' safe aswell?
Yeah, we do it all the time..
"Carefull guys, griefers in Eravate!!"
I see no issue in that..
"He also has a chainsaw in one hand, but a 6-pack of beer in the other. Not sure if should trust..." *squints eyes*
Seems trustworthy to me!
Ah nevermind.. Though I read Nef got moderated for saying something like that somewhere.
So.. the rules are.
No naming players (unless they have a bounty?)
No naming players and location (unless they have a bounty?)
Naming locations is cool.
Naming groups + location is cool.
Naming groups is cool.

A Confucian approach leads me to believe this might take it just a bit to far.

So the rules essentially say you can't warn people about someone being abit of a tool directly by name, I'll avoid any more appropriate words for those people
it's a good job things get around fairly quickly in this community via pm/Xbox, personally I think it's good to know who to avoid or who to expect to be attacked by without warning,

I have had a few run-ins with that ship Error, it needs hands to hold to win a fight

Why would that be too far though? It isn't according to Arne but why would you think that?
It's the way these threads can be worded. You're not gonna get upset about "x has a 400k bounty in Sol." You would be if I worded it "x has a 400k bounty. Let's get that scum."
No but simply the difference between pirate and murderer.
Sounds like a perfectly reasonable response to me... :| :| :|

Personally, I'm not sure I've seen anyone saying the forum shouldn't be policed. The issue for me, and others clearly, is the lack of clarity and/or consistency in the arbitration. Same goes for the filter. Bum, butt, ass, , booty, patootie, tush, . I still find it funny that the redacted one in that list is the British synonym for backside - hearse minus the 'he'. This forum's filter is prejudiced against us Brits, even funnier when you consider how many us buggers are on here.
EDIT: Oh, look ' ' is fine. How about sodomise?
EDIT: I give up! 'Buggers' is fine, but singular? NOPE.
PS. Can someone ask the filter if it would like a copy of the OED? Seriously though. I get tired of guessing. Where's the filter list, so we know what to avoid. It's especially galling given how mature and friendly this forum is. Nef's point about GTA is more than spot on. (Would rep you Nef, but I'm all out)

What if I want to place a bounty on another CMDR and stipulated the bounty value to be equivalent to 20 Imperial slaves?
As an example - a purely business proposition for reasons that wouldn't necessarily be mentioned on the board so as to not name and shame?

I'd say that would fall under the grey area, since its not clear your motivation for it. Unless Brett gave specific permission for that sort of post, i'd probably go with deletion of the post.
