I got my first forfeit point.

Day 3,248, 16:57 • Published in USA USA

• by Cubby

Was it that the content was spam? Was it any more spam than anything else that hits the wall? I mean, it had a picture of a kitten (albeit dead).

It even commented on the state of affairs in erep!

It also (using reverse psychology) promoted activity amongst players.

So while I can't appeal the decision to Plato, I'd like to appeal it to you, dear reader. What do you consider to be an infringement in my article? And do you think the Forfeit point was fairly given?

Hooray!

Won't you tell me how badly you were spammed by my infringement? Thanks!

Ilene Dover Day 3,248, 17:06

Who reported it? What a douchebag move...

fingerguns Day 3,248, 17:06

Debating reporting this for racism.

Fanaxidiel Day 3,248, 17:22

Forfeit Points for Plato's nerves... The only awards with some sense that remain in this game.

Customs of Dahomey Day 3,248, 17:28

after your sixth famous point, they let you start appealing them. please keep those of us that read the media abreast on your quest to appeal...

Cubby Day 3,248, 17:47

That's helpful. Now can you tell me what the consequences of various levels of forfeit points are?

Intolerant Day 3,248, 18:27

So, it sounds like to me, that you now need to get 5 more forfeit points so you can appeal this one! 😃

They remove them after a month though, It's pretty hard to get 6+, I only had it twice iirc.

Customs of Dahomey Day 3,248, 20:01

only a month :/, it is like admins are encouraging players to offend, but making it difficult to truly succeed in mocking them

Jimmy Cincinnati Day 3,248, 18:04

Plato needs a hug.

PilotPhil Day 3,248, 18:21

What about those that simply hate kittens? Huh? Do they have no rights?

Cubby Day 3,248, 18:58

Well, I don't think the complaint is about that, but I do believe we should have more kitten death videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga9UU4WXi-o

Animis Day 3,249, 08:01

Looks like youtube removed that one for content.

Cubby Day 3,249, 17:38

Sorry, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga9UU4WXi-o

Garmr Day 3,248, 19:03

Yeah, that was definitely a more severe offense than any of the 94 forfeit points I've ever received.

Boooooooo!

Cubby Day 3,248, 19:57

94 really?

Garmr Day 3,250, 15:09

With the time difference between NL and USA, I used to be halfway down a bottle of rum/whisky/wodka easily by the time it was primetime in the USA...

https://youtu.be/X9bOsdHckhg

P.S. I had a political opponent who friended me through multies that reported my shouts for vulgarity so that's an easy 20 fp's right there

Garmr Day 3,250, 15:10

But luckily I am a gold status purchaser and plato deletes fp's within 30 days. In the old days fp's stuck forever, I only had 4 back then. Nowadays I can't even give a fuck anymore.

Jessina Day 3,248, 20:12

So your article was spam but comments like "This is a comment" etc aren't? Ridiculous.

Gnilraps Day 3,248, 20:34

I would guess it was the dead kitten.

I got fp'd once for showing a dead human.

Joey3790 Day 3,248, 20:46

SPAM, SPAMY, SPAM-SPAM, McSPAMFACE!!

(Let me know if I get a Forfeit Point for spamming your article with this comment. Then we can compare how ridiculous that claim is.)

TemujinBC Day 3,248, 21:32

Reported for lack of saying YES to Re-Broification.

jadiv Day 3,249, 01:20

You need Earl the Dead Cat!

Let's see if I can get a point too!

Viado Celtru Day 3,249, 02:08

Reported for spam

Franklin Stone Day 3,249, 03:35

I think it was the dead cat and the lack of a recipe for Cat Stew....

Yui MHCP001 Day 3,249, 04:37

This is not a comment. It is a placeholder, so all the other comments don't feel lonely. Thank you.

Cthulhu.. Day 3,249, 04:44

FIST

HOW ABOUT ANOTHER?

Cubby Day 3,249, 04:49

Thanks to everyone for voting and commenting. This encourages me to write more SPAM for you.

Gessho Day 3,249, 05:25

I see eRep admins are back to trifling over articles. Nice to know.

WhydoIbotherToo Day 3,249, 08:55

whoever reported it was just jealous of your creativity.

Mister Y Day 3,249, 09:44

Poor Cubby.
Nevermind, forfeit point disappear in 3 months.

GloveisLove Day 3,249, 10:21

Only cool kids get banned

AlTounsi. Day 3,250, 12:09

Look at all these faggots voting your comment up. I'm reporting you, Glove. You're a homo, you fucking gay.

George Armstrong Custer Day 3,249, 11:03

reply to the notice, anyways.. make 'em explain what the offense was, so you'll "be sure to not repeat it again", since citing the vague Law doesn't really tell you exactly what you did wrong.

Jessina Day 3,249, 12:16

And explain to them that it was creative humor, not spam. Their lack of comprehension is astounding. Of course it shouldn't be a surprise since they fail to acknowledge the type of game improvements the majority of players want, despite being told.

George Armstrong Custer Day 3,249, 23:38

you can take your shot.. and you should.. but that Famous Point ain't goin' away till it dies of old age.

Molly Emma Day 3,249, 15:33

Congratulations on your big win! I know I always appreciate it when Plato acknowledges my writing. BTW, they are called Famous Points, not Forfeit Points. 😉

Releasethe Krakken Day 3,250, 02:27

woof

xam xam Day 3,250, 06:28

you are not a fp virgin any more, congrats

it is just khotko Day 3,250, 16:18

Need more spam.

Goxi HN Day 3,250, 16:49

i keep my fps high while advertising how cool it is when turks try to wash kurds in acid pools
btw, it turns out that kurds are in fact dirt, because when you wash them in acid pools they tend to be washed off
i sense fp incoming
