Administrators Amethyst 2466 Posted October 26, 2015 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2015 O citizenry of Reborn, ye need live in fear no longer. Following the community's decision to remove the /kick command for the sake of consistency with our rules, we also turned our attention to the selection of Site Shop Items that enabled users to futz with others profiles by changing their name, avatar, or collectively their entire profile into to make them into oh, I don't know, Grimace from McDonalds. ...But I mean, who would do such a thing, really? Shame... In any case, for the sake of remaining consistency with our own rule, which outright says "Fun at the expense of others isn't fun", we've decided that those items probably don't need to stick around. They can be especially annoying for newer users who become unfortunate victims of them too, and don't necessarily have the $R to change their profile back. The entire 'Mess with Others!' section has since been removed from the Site Shop, including the Steal $R item. While it might be a little less fun for some of the rich users, the change is worth accommodating everyone. Previously purchased/held items from that section may or may not work. Apologies for the inconvenience, Additionally, other item prices and posting rates have been tweaked to account for the flux in the economy. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Commander 875 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 ...Well now I'm out of ideas what to use these Reborn Rupees for. But...I do suppose it is for the best. At least it usually didn't turn out too bad while it lasted. Oh well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaunt 4 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Soooo....on what exactly should we use our rupees now? Don't get me wrong, all considered it is a good thing but if you remove a feature (a pretty popular one from what i understand) shouldn't we get something else in it's place? Well i hope some of those items still work (i have several on me) now it's probably the best time to use them... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wes 2 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Using $R to buy warning points is pretty silly, so im superglad this was done. Same tbh Soooo....on what exactly should we use our rupees now?

Well i hope some of those items still work (i have several on me) now it's probably the best time to use them... To be honest site shops only really function in most places as a means for you to be able to change your name, name color, or other things like that. That's it. Reborn's gives you the sprite system and the "of the day" showdown items as well. Not really a reason why things should be added in place simply because some users post a lot and have an excess amount of rupees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maelstrom 312 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 can we keep the change other people's avy since it costs nothing to change it back at any time? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not really a reason why things should be added in place simply because some users post a lot and have an excess amount of rupees. I disagree, there is a reason: the removal of a popular feature (if you take something without giving anything in return some people will not like it, that's normal). but i'm repeating myself so better stop here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mde2001 236 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I don't care about Kick but I fully support the removal of the mess with others items. I never was really keen on them so good work on cleaning it up. And RIP Jan's dreams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pbood2 3 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I never had to deal with these items luckily but I was waiting for them at all times tbh. I'm very supportive and happy you have decided to stop the distribution of these mess with people items. I'm sure we'll survive without them though. ;D Good luck Jan with your plans.

Sejiren 4 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'm quite new here, but seeing these items weirded me out a little, so I don't mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeroneos 0 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Now new members like me will be unable to find a fun trolling others in a forum...but I guess that's what for the best . I don't want some rich people to find it amusing to troll a single person by keep changing his/her name/status. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Combat 62 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'm actually glad to see these/those go. I do think there should be some way to refund those items if one has one in their inventory, but that's just me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flux 30 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Welp, there go all plans for the Foxening 2.0. I'm sad to see the Mess With Others go, but it seems like some people didn't like it, so I guess it's for the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arkhi 199 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Now if you wanna... 'futz' with a profile, you just gotta figure out the password. Or become a mod or admin. Easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
