i've only been posting on this board for about a month or two and i think i can safely say that 90% of the people on these boards could give a crap about your problems with another person on you server. i think i see a new player warning ever flippin day i get on, and it's always the same crap. someone trading with someone they don't know, or someone that was just an idiot... who cares! get over it, and try not to encounter the fool again. can you count the number of people that are going to actually take your warning into consideration??? i'll bet 1 if you're lucky, because nobody reading your post is going to remember it. the only people that will remember this person that you are warning them of are the people unfortunate enough to come in contact with them.
i see a lot of the people that post these stupid warnings saying something like "shut up, don't post here because you aren't even on my server"; or something along those lines... guess what honkeys! every flippin new post is on the front page of the web site, and thats how 99% of the people talking on the message boards are navigating them!

LOL, sadly I must agree with you.

If you have a complaint about somebody, post it on QCDN or BG forums.

Well on the bold part... I know most people post like this "Player warning: name (server" Or something along those lines. Also, lots of people post under their server forums... So if you don't care about player warnings you see on the front page, don't click on them. Simple as that.

Player warnings are very beneficial. Not only do I learn about the person I'm being warned about, but I learn who to avoid if I don't want to see a "Player Warning: Etrayis" tomorrow. =P

It's good to know about people who blatantly take advantage of trusting individuals and betray them in a manner that is not only against conduct policies but against terms of service as well.

I'd just like to see an end to the "Player Warning >>> So-and-so called me a noob" threads. Long story short, if you don't need to call a GM over what happened, don't bother posting about it here.

In my opinion, adding a comment on the player's page is more constructive than making a forum post which is broadcast to everyone.

I've strongly considered suggesting taking server specific posts off the aggregate on the front page just because of the large number of irrelevant and annoying player warnings.

MOST of the time you're only hearing one side of the story. So if I read a player warning about Etrayis buying gil on FFXIAH website... I should just belive it? I mean .... it must be true because it's in da forumzzzz....

Player warnings are meant well most likely, but are, in fact, pretty useless. As the OP stated.. most people won't remember, and as I said.. it's usually only one side of the story.

If you're going to condem someone, make damn sure you outght to be.

Haha. Man you took my point a little differently. I was stating that both the person being warned about and the person posting the thread are probably not even worth dealing with. It was just a joke about how most people post these warnings about the stupidest things such as, "So and so called me a noob in a party while he only had 15 slots of gear filled." Hurtful? Maybe. Worth posting a thread about. No.

Edit: I can't honestly see someone accusing me of RMT.

Give ppl some positive feedback instead of just putting whoever we feel like down?

I perfer to read them too, actually. Not only is it informative, they can also be amusing. I think that when somone gets burnt, it not only makes one person become more knowledgeable the next time, but it makes me climb one step higher, b/c by becoming informed. I not only know that by using a gut-instinct tatics, like some of these folks have done,I would not be in the postition they had been in, so I think that these threads are relative. NOT saying they are good reading material, I'm say they are not a complete waste.

Kporg.. you thread was just epic man.. you know we all luv ya...LOL ( Keeping it real!!)

I think by seeing these threads, we not only outfit ourselves with a degree of intelligence, we become that much more knowledgeable about doing any type of business tactic with any shady character. Agreed? Yes, No???

I see it this way, if you feel soo strongly about these threads "Player warnings" Then don't read them, other people have different out looks on these threads we call "Player warnings".

Now granted Most of the player warnings I have seen are stupid. QQQ I had a item up on my bazaar QQQ It was up for 10k QQQ it should have been 100mil QQQ I asked for the Item back and they would not give it back so this "Player warning" goes out to Mrfluffnstuff on the Server Mymoghouse! QQQ
*Names and places changed to protect the dumb and smart people*

So yea my point is if you see a topic you don't wanna read then don't read it, it will go away. lol

Honestly I find the player warnings informative. In the LS I run we do backgroung checks. If the first thing you find when you do a search is " player warning XXXX etc." you can find out what this person did before his/her app is accepted or turned away.
