That is not promoting. But somehow it is against the rules?
Talking about what you like to drink on a public forum for a game designed for children is against the rules for good reason....

Off-topic? And keep in mind not all of us are children. And how is it a game designed for children?

Thats arrogance, read this:

*If you reply saying ‘your rules suck’ your post will be deleted, explain each one, bearing in mind I do not care one bit however old you are, what you talk about at high-school there are minors here and you need to understand that a general acceptance for minors does not involve drug promotion, profanity, violence and nudity.

You have to be 13years or older to play, or you agree to that, so we have to have everything suitable for 13year olds too.

However it will be discussed, the thread is to point out the issues to we can discuss and then suggest changes, you can discuss them then. For now just keep this thread to point things out, your problem with it has been noted and pointed out.

If a ban reason is so weak that it will not stand up to public scrutiny, then the person should not have been banned in the first place.
The problem we have is 'why was he/she banned' over and over the second they get banned. The users get emailed why they are banned and can easily discuss it then with us. And bans tend to be issued after alot of warnings.

Maybe we can change our ways, to edit out the post and not delete, but it then gives the user the option to edit our edit and replace it. And knowing a few users, they'd do that.

The problem here is it is basically passive account-sharing by allowing it, as people will post alot of comments for users if it's not ruled out. If they want to discuss something they should upgrade like we have.
