Please remember to try and keep criticisms constructive and not just "this sucks."
It amazing that you got that from my comment.
The MC was claiming that the poster could not complain about the issues he posted because CGL had stated that this was going to be the case.
My comment was a quote from the nostalgia critic about how this is an invalided point because saying you did something someone else doesn't like on purpose doesn't invalidate his opinion.
So now CGL is going to use rule #7 to silence opposition to the new rule, that's fine.
As I was not directly talking about the game you are wrong, but I expect that this makes no diffrence to CGL.
I expect the ban-hammer to be pulled out at this point to end all opposition to the new rule under shaky rulings.
Normally, I don't need/have to explain why a warning goes out.
Re-read MC's post. It's detailed and constructive, even if it's not something you agree with.
I know the quote, I'm a fan of NC. But simply posting a quote of a reviewer that goes into great detail as to why he said that, and then not going into ANY detail as to why you feel that way, means that you're not being constructive in your opinion.
We, the Shadowrun Team, are not CGL and we are NOT going to "silence opposition". If we wanted to silence you, all your posts would be deleted, your IP and emails would be permanently banned, and your account would no longer exist. Do you honestly believe that if we were trying to silence you, we would allow all the other posts where forum users have gone into great detail where they hate the new edge system and gave detailed reasons why?
Your post was quoting another poster, implying that you were directing it to the conversation at hand, in a thread discussing the game, in a forum about the game. If you were posting in Off-topic, I wouldn't have even have warned you. But since you were joining the conversation, there are consequences to throwing out comments that could be (and therefore had been) construed as a criticism of the game.
You've got one warning. As far as I remember, it's your first and only warning. To get permanently banned, you either have to consistently break the terms of service seven time within a reasonable time period to get permanently banned. The only exception to this was a user that argued with me about his infractions, then tried to illegally get around those infractions by creating false accounts that appeared to be other forum posters. He got permanently banned and then bitched about me on Dumpshock. You are not like him at all, and I like hearing from you and others that are not fans of the new rules. All of your posts help new players come in and make a balanced call on whether or not they want to purchase them, and I'm also seeing a lot of house rules being written up that will probably even make it into my games.
The only person that gets you banned is you. If we swung the hammer as much as you implied, this would quickly turn into a very empty forum.
