    What genius MOD decided that
    It's an infraction to give away points?

    With an eye on the deadline for cash and fp bonuses, for US players, I thought it would be a nice gesture to give away some points (a few hundred total) to players who were close to qualifying for such a bonus. A way to turn nothing into something.

    SBR didn't think so. Removed the post (!), and gave me a warning, suggesting that I was trying to sell points. Just unreal. To NOT want players to qualify for free plays before the deadline... (the thought of selling points - for what exactly!? - never entered my mind, but that's what bobbyfk came up with... lol ).

    It's all I can send, or else I'd send you all 100. Keep up the good work DH.

    Mods and John starting to run SBR the same exact way some of the D and F rated books run their joints. Be careful SBR, you're walking a fine line lately.

            first off it was a warning, not an infraction. and secondly it was the way you worded the post that got you the warning. it made you sound like you were trying to sell points

                    is there a difference between sounding like it and actually selling points?

                            Not at all buddy. I never made a single mention of selling points. You really need to get your head out of your ass.

                                    See, what's so hard about saying something like this:

                                        Or maybe DH could have sent a reply back? He likes to take the podium sometimes... thats OK, we all need to kill spare time once in a while.

                                        DH,
                                        There is a ton of work that goes in to keeping the integrity of the points system. A lot you never see. It's not a science and there is no rule book for all things. We aren't perfect and we make mistakes.

                                        The most big-boy way to address your concern would have been to send a reply over to Bobby or an admin to ask if there was some misunderstanding or simply complain...instead of dramatized-gather-the-troops, how-dare-you-thread.

                                        I actually think the idea is a good one and it's one of the things we expected when we put a buffer time in there before taking the items off.. Congrats to you for your generosity and innovation.
