New rule for FMs in general

[Roflcopter]

I see alot of people say no rep messages/comments/hidden/invisible text etc.

But noone has made a rule against changing your user-group name (donor perk)

ie: Player changes his usergroup name multiple times to give messages to people currently playing

player 1 has usergroup name "Keeper", notices player 2 goes offline and player 3 is online, makes message to player 3 by changing usergroup name to "Bodyguard" and changes it back later.

could even be used as secret means of communication between players by sending usergroup messages to eachother

The point of no rep messages is because you can put AN ACTUAL MESSAGE that NOBODY else can see. It is like a private message.
If someone changes their usergroup, everyone can see it.

He is right that it still shouldn't be done, it's a form of "out of game communication" which some people might not be able to see because they weren't online at exactly the right time.

Same goes for changing your signature or avatar as a temporary source of information. They're all ways around the limitation that you can't edit your posts, but they're much harder to police.

this may be more abused in the main FM.
in an s-fm or m-fm there's really no point in doing this because you could just skype if you intend to cheat...

and you can't really do it in the main fm because you're not a donor and can't change your title.

in anon games, you generally aren't allowed to change your avatar.

@Borkbot, wouldn't that be covered, then, with the rule of, "No out of game communication?"

It would be

Was just saying that people shouldn't abuse it if they want to play a fun, legit game.
