A question about rules (contradiction?)

[Conix]

I don't understand something, people is not supposed to post anything about map protection / map unprotection but for some reason this site has a huge Map protection begging thing when you click on FAQ ?

 

[Raiju]

you got the point

Darky put everything everyone "would" discuss about map protection (exception for if they are right or wrong, which is forbidden to discuss here for obvious motives) in the FAQ, so there is no necessitie of breaking this rule

 

[Conix]

Everything? But that thing seems to be more of a spread of missinformation about the topic rather than anything else

 

[Afronight_76]

the point is that darky put that there so nobody would have the need to discuss it and would ge tthe idea that you shouldnt ask how to unprotect maps here.

 

[Raiju]

amen to that

 

[Rui]

Pointless. It's obvious that Darky wrote them to prevent map protection/unprotection discussions. Through he didn't suceed with that ( :roll: )

It is true that it is mostly missinformation about the topic, the concept that things like map protection / unprotection exist is pretty arcaic actually.

The FAQ was made by Darky to try to make people stop using "map protection" and to explain why his script flames maps that have deleted or 0 kb wtg files. It is untrue he made it to stop discussions; The rule about the discussions was added later and not by Darky.

And that FAQ is really outdated by the way

 

[VGsatomi]

Wrong. He was locking threads for map protection discussions before I even became a map mod. (oh....back in the day when he actually visited his own site)

[Vexorian]

Wrong, the intention of that FAQ was to upset people that delete wtg, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to sites like wc3c or bnet to link to it

 

[teneur2g]

shouldnt this thread be locked for discutting about something related to map protection/unprotection?

 

[Vexorian]

It is discussing about the rule about discussing map protection.

He is not saying things like 'How do I protect my map?' nor 'How do I unprotect my map?' he is just pointing out a contradiction between the site's rules and its own content

 

[Conix]

shouldnt this thread be locked for discutting about something related to map protection/unprotection?

VGSatomi is a mod I think, he didn't close it so it should be allrgiht
