Join the new world

I reposted an article and got a FP for it (breaking law no.1?). Why I wonder? The article did not contain: vulgarities, pornography, insults, spam and/or external advertising. Unless you count as being vulgar the admins sitting back and not doing anything about hacking and thief.

Plato commands me not to "Thou shall not contaminate the New World with filth such as External advertising, Spam,Insults, Pornography, Vulgarity or Racism." I didn't do - I wonder if there is a special secret rule no.4 (like on Animal House).

Apparently I wrote a flaming article! This is not usually my style. I show Plato's message to me below. I have looked through it and have difficultly in pin-pointing the cause of the offence - as it did not attack someone verbally etc.

Other possibilities have been suggested to explain why I got a FP:

1. the admins are friends with the thief
2. the admins themselves stole his money
3. it is easier to delete an article and award a FP than to track the culprit and put things right

I cannot explain this state of affairs. However I am saddened by this turn of events.



This is why I got a FP - using plato's own words:



Thou shall not contaminate the New World with filth such as External advertising, Spam,Insults, Pornography, Vulgarity or Racism.

Interesting article from cheeta & mick cain:

I am publishing this for a friend who recently lost 20 Rubber Plantations(each is worth 35 gold, so the total loss is 700 gold or roughly £200 in real money). The admins are not dealing with this, I so thought everyone must learn about it... I'm waiting for my FP.

I can tell you that 2 went missing on the same day as i posted this ticket and a few the day before.Whoever has been taking them has done it in such a way so that i would not notice.I had 80 rubber plants and now i have 60.I only noticed because i was having to buy more and more WRMs,i thought it was strange so i counted them.It makes me sick because everything i produce is for my MU
