OtLand A few changes

Status
Not open for further replies.
As some of you may have noticed, OtLand was recently unavailable for approximately an hour. This was because we were applying a few changes.

The Rules page - there have been complaints on that the rules are not clear enough for everyone. We have finally taken the time to make the rules more detailed, we have also revised our infraction reasons to fit the rules so that the infraction reason no longer should be confusing. The rules page can be found in the navigation, or here.

The Marketplace - until now, we have been against buying and selling on OtLand. Mainly to prevent our members from being scammed. However, it seems like there is a huge interest in buying and selling scripts, maps, Tibia characters, and other stuff on OtLand and we don't want to keep forwarding the users who want to make trades to other websites. Therefore we have created a new board under the Misc. category, named Marketplace. Keep in mind to look up who you are making trades with to prevent being scammed, all trades are at your own risk. We also do not support selling copyrighted material, so you will not be allowed to sell/buy CipSoft Tibia (Real Tibia) maps there (the Tibia map is property of CipSoft, making money from it is illegal).

Infractions tab in profile - we have noticed that users dislike that expired/reversed infraction stay visible in their profile, so I have coded a plugin that will hide expired/reversed infractions. We don't look too much at infraction history when we appoint new staff members anyway, so don't worry much so much about it if you are interested in joining our staff in the future.

The Content Management System - is not yet available :(. During this downtime there were some preparations done to have it ready for our next update. It will contain articles to make it easier for new people to get into OpenTibia once it's published to everyone.

Crossed BB code - this BB code was requested by a staff member in our staff board, so it has now been added and is used by setting the tag around some text.

Kind regards,
OtLand Staff.

Well I'm sort of annoyed with the 'New Post' thingy, since I usually click New Post and see if there's any thread I'm interested on, then I'd go do something else and when I come back click New Post again, now I gotta click Forum then New post lol. senseless..
Yes ;( I liked how it was before

=profit??
He means when New Posts link is hidden, you have to click Forum then it appears.
 
As well I do not see any kind of stickied thread in the marketplace board, so I'd suggest you Talaturen to make that clear to the members. Else you'll have more of 5mok3 to handle.
More members like him, who can't understand that every community nowadays has their own rules, depending on moderator. Nevermind, just make it clear to prevent that for yourself. :)

And what do you mean like that uh?

More members like me??? What part of my post you didn't understand uh?? I understand this community as it's rules and that they are not clear enough.. that's why there's always conflicts between users and staff members..

You are just talking shit.. to piss people off dude.. back off
 
Yeah exactly, it shows the same results..
 
Talaturen is a smart retard.

Yep, works perfectly.
 
Function has its spamming purposes.
 
I'm glad to see a rules being set down. :)

And what part didn't you understand of my post? I kinda supported you, but you're going offensive?
Such a retard... XD
 
dislike the market place idea. there is many other places people can sell tibia related stuff. signature selling is more then enough

It's always nice to have a Sub-Forum for it, and mods can moderate it more then they can with it just being it in people's signatures.
 
Banned one day before selling is allowed? <_<

@Topic,
I don't understand the "Tibia" stuff, because if I use a program to copy parts of their map, it's still not their actual map. People who make invention's and become successful have competitors who make similar items in order to make money. It's impossible to track their map to the EXACT 100%, right? (Edges of islands, etc..)

You are very aware how these tracking program's or cam's work. They copy, convert, and export. That new material is not copyrighted.

Furthermore, why reinvent the wheel? If someone already has a similar or same product out there, and you're obviously convinced it is good since you took the time and trouble to make something similar, why not sell theirs? If yours is better, which is usually subjective, then you may have a product that is different enough to be granted a patent of your own.

You claim sprites are the same, but every open tibia server uses similar sprites. I still don't see how it's illegal.

Is my signature not allowed still? It would be nice to know...

Banned for ignoring an admin's warnings.
Let's not begin again a discussion about sprites, it's been clarified already, else make a thread in discussion board.
 
Thanks for clearly answering my questions... <_<
Could you at least let me know if signature selling is allowed again? The one I had was Tibia stuff.

Signature is allowed, but without Tibia stuff? :confused:

Buying/selling(excluding copyrighted material) is now allowed in all of OtLand(including signatures). :p
