Erepublik: Save the world from oppression!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I'm not quite sure how to say this, but there are a lot of posts that are really borderline on where to post them. Example, I see a lot of people showing off their montages in new mombasa. So is this defined as "Advertising", or simply showing off your work? Another one is posting a community contest. That's kinda promoting a certain thing, so it should belong in the classfieds, yet it also has to do with the community and 7th column. Thoughts?

I think yuo just answered the montage question. They are "showing it off" they are not advertising anything, so there is no problem there.

Community contest is a bit border line, but since it includes the entire community, and was simply informing that there was a community contest that was being created.

Yeah, I do understand how some threads sometimes fall under a category of their own. And, like you say, sometimes they borderline between multiple forums.

Although, I guess if you twist their nature or composure a bit, they can sit happily where they are now.

Up to the mods, I guess.

Well, the mods have to institute a overall rule. They cant pick out one video thread and keep it, and kick another one out. Unless the video thread links it to a website or something.

Actaully they can. They are the ones with the power, and it is based on their judgement on what should happen

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

The recent one is the announcement of Halo Wars. I've seen the same subject in the Halo 1,2,and 3 forums, and the Septagon.

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use caps lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single BoB alive."

2B || !2B - Why don't you look Inside the Machine?

Well a contest relating to the community, in my opinion, belongs here in The Septagon. I mean sure there is advertising to it, but it relates directly to the community. It isn't like someone is trying to get you to join something or the sort. Montages in my opinion belong in New Mombasa because they are part of the Halo 2 fan creation kinda stuff, so it makes sense to have it where Halo 2 players meet and talk.

Yeah, I suppose that a lot of them apply to both. The mods just need to use their judgment on which subject it applies most too. With the montages for example. If it was completely halo then it would belong in Mombassa. However, if there was an add for a group in the montage then yes it should be moved to the classifieds.
