Barotix, you are indeed right about the fact that this forum did change in a positive way for those that are still playing the game the legit way.
But this forum isn't about the game only anymore, it has grown too large for it. Just look at how much sub forums we have: Off Topic, Other Games, Artists Corner...
Many members that are browsing this forum are not playing the game anymore. For these members the forums have changed in a negative way. We have lost members who contributed alot to this forum. They didn't contribute to this forum with a usefull guide or a usefull hint for Silkroad, but they contributed to this forum with something that was interesting to read or something that was just funny to read. And I enjoyed reading many of their posts.
I have always thought that the game should be separated from the forum and I will always support this thought. A legit community doesn't necessarily means a better community for all.

In our revised bot exposion rules viewtopic.php?f=72&t=79269we have stated the sro account must be an active sro account (botted&used <90 days ago). This to prevent OTL users getting banned while they don't even play the game anymore. If those OTL users did bot within 90 days from now they cannot be excluded from our rules.

I have always thought that the game should be separated from the forum and I will always support this thought. A legit community doesn't necessarily means a better community for all. Just my personal opinion, but these forums are called Silkroad Online Forums, and were created because of, and in support for, the game Silkroad Online. Of course it has grown beyond simply the game, but that is where it has its roots. I think anything SRF does should reflect positively on SRO and its community. We want a good, clean SRO community. We can only do so much to change things in game, but we can do a lot more to change things here in the forums. It's not just about SRO, but personally, I think that's a big part of it, if nothing else, from the public's eye. Most new people come here because of SRO, not Perfect World or 2moons, or any other MMO. They may find those things, as well as non-game related things once they get here, but SRO is where it starts for them.

Would you stop allready? I've read this same block of text like 10 times over the last half year. All by your hand. Stop wining allready. fkin hell. Some people. also: LET'S NOT TURN THIS INTO YET ANOTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT SRF'S POLICY'S. THEY TEND TO BORE AFTER THE 20th TIME.The mod's and Admins have stated like a million times now, that they'll continue going down this road, having the same conversation again is not gonna change that.

Your just plain annoying with the same QQ's and arguements in the same section over and over. We allready knew some of your little friends got banned, we know you want them back. How? Cause you've been wining about it ever since the titanic sank. This annoyance, i felt, needed pointing out. If that's personal, fine, so be it.

The only thing the staff ever failed on was not doing this sooner.
As if SRF taking up action against the bots or not is going to prevent people from botting at all. An SRF account means nothing. You can remake them and nothing of value, other then perhaps the presence you had in the community, is lost.

As if SRF taking up action against the bots or not is going to prevent people from botting at all. An SRF account means nothing. You can remake them and nothing of value, other then perhaps the presence you had in the community, is lost. This argument has been used many times before. What you, and others fail to realize, is that SRF is not trying to change iSRO itself. The SRF admins are not trying to cleanse the iSRO community of botters. They can't do that. What they are trying to do (and they are succeeding) is cleanse these forums of botters. All the more power to them. Yes, botters can remake accounts on SRF easily, but it is also equally easy for the admins to ban the new accounts again. You will run out of proxies, etc. before the admins will run out of the patience to click the 'ban' button. Honestly, I don't see what's so hard to understand about SRF's policy regarding bots. They don't want them here. If you don't like it, you don't have to be here. There are plenty of us that like the policy. ping_lo wrote: Errrrrrr so wait. We should all lament the leaving of such wonderful botters due to this awful policy of enforcing rules?
(Rest cut to shorten my post) I couldn't have said it better myself. I completely agree.

Oh for the love of god why did this reach 2 pages. STFU all of you. Go discuss the status of the forum somewhere else where ppl care, not in the EXPOSED BOTTERS SECTION. She/He/It said he/she/it bots so ban him/her. Look at how easy that is. 2 mods passed through here and neither of them banned and locked, don't tell me you have a reason cause its zero-tolerance especially when the person clearly says "I Bot" Thats auto-ban, end of talking, no need to debate. He/She wants out....give him/her the boot.

I forgot that you need an account to browse the forum? Been here since 07, joined in 08. Then you realize that the "cool" people were nothing but drama starters. There were two types of posters banned from srf. Posters that contribute (Minority). Posters that are replaceable (Majority). New blood replaces old blood. So when are you being replaced...

Theres nothing to discuss, the reason this section was created was so that we wouldn't have to discuss. I realize that sometimes you might want a rebuttle, i feel that way sometimes, but it is not necessary. This is not an accusation, nor is it misidentification, its a very clear admission. This section was made so that ppl who bot can be caught and banned. So deep stop being an attention whore. Either you really want to leave this place which you could've done without being banned or you want to stay and this is all just BS. Either way i get pissed off when i see
1) mods showing favoritism 2) ppl who say the quality of this place is lacking and then make goodbye threads. 3) ppl who say they left but keep posting.
You came into this section, admitted to botting, said you didn't like this place anymore, and somehow thats prompted discussion. If this was some run of the mill 232 post nobody this thread would've been locked by now and no one would care. Instead its turned into a discussion about better days and the policy changing and blah blah blah. And then, on top of all this deep.in continues to post in the place, the place he just can't stand btw.
The rules are very clear. He admitted to botting. He should've been banned awhile ago. This does not need discussion. If he's friends with a mod then talk about it over MSN after he's gone like you do with your other friends who've been banned.
and hero your a bit young to be calling anyone in thread kid....it just comes off pretentious and you should be anything but with the way you post.

OnT: Occasional discussion is needed but this was the wrong topic to do it in. Topic will be dealt with by a resident Global.
