Get this crap out of Blue Server Chat and ban offenders.

Depends, some of us like myself have had GM sanctioned recruitment threads here on blue. But others do go over to top. If you're talking about complete prohibition then LOL you really think it's gonna work this time? Just like it has for drugs, gambling and prostitution all synonymous with red life. You can't stop us, our croutons will block out the sun.

The no porn-type pics outside of RNF rule works pretty well.

Why can't a no PvP recruitment threads in blue forum rule work?

Same deal, not everyone wants to see it. If they want to see it, they know where to look.

Ignore list works fine, no need to make any extra work for forum mods. Nothing is lost by ignoring all of their posts. I noticed a while back that the redites still beating that drum here are just repeating themselves without any new info or evolved opinion on other topics as well.

[edit]Also, poll lacks comedy option. That's an irreparable defect imo, not worth a vote.[/edit]

Defeats the purpose to relegate Red recruitment to Red Chat.

Doesn't mean we can't give Reddites a hard time.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I was advised by the staff that the red community should do everything it can to improve and promote the server. We will do nothing less than that. This includes warning you that a single group will have corpses of plane of mischief cards because the high cards for quests can be held down by a single group & you can't pvp to stop them, ice clad / north ro will chain crash all night trying to go to Velious, and that there will be lines that last *LITERALLY* for days to get access to Cobalt Scar.

I'm trying to help you if you apply some objective reasoning and put the red vs blue debate aside. Imagine if we had a second blue server with 200 pop? I doubt many of you would leave your easily replaced Kunark pixels aside (seriously, you will replace almost everything you have now with Velious gear what's the gotdayum point). Red is the least toxic it has been in years since xp loss on death was removed from PvP and Derubael enforcing the play nice policy. PvP is fun, you guys love the best of the best fights. Come on over, the camps are open and we will recruit you / get you your epic.

Hehe, OP has good suggestion, and is yelled down by some knuckledraggers because 'RED POSTS ARE ALLOWED HERE BY GMS STFU DUMB POLL' when clearly the OP knows that red recruitment posts are allowed, and is trying to enact a call for change.

There are a lot of us on the red99 server that hate the troll recruitment posts. I made this thread earlier today, before you made this thread, in regards to this issue: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=171259

In short, there should be a harsh ban on anyone spamming pro-red troll posts. If two posts happen in a day = 1 week suspension on forum and game. Second offense = 1 month. 3 strike = permanent ban. If two people from the same guild post the same troll spam = suspension for the entire guild for 1 day. Two infractions = guild disbanded.

Not only does the troll spam look bad on a forum dedicated to serious discussion, but it deters players from joining the red server because they think a majority of the player-base is like this. We need harsh penalties to reign some people and guilds in.

However there are some situations that could be better arbitrated by PVP/red99, and I feel like talking openly about the advantages red99 has over blue99 should not be discouraged. This is simply to dissuade spam

Staff has enough of a brain to realize blue is way over populated and you guys would like red if you came over with a group.
