We need another Housing purge

[Awha]

I am not sure about Rogatum or if that was the intent, but the fact Awha said "They will not give you a straight answer, just accept it. " shows at least them expects us to fall for the red haring so they can pull out a stawman type debate to try to put less of a meaning of our argument or defeat it all together. I find it really offensive Awha said that, and further, implying how OliverB breaking the "Posting aimed to create a negative impact on the community or its members. " (forum posting rule) with their signature funny. I am not laughing, I do not find it funny to mock those harmed by these selfish actions and rule breaking.

Your last question to them shows something key though, are they against that kind of rule exploitation? Just because people warned SE on that rule breaking that gives them an excuse to break the rule when SE could not close the loophole? I think it is wrong, not only it being clear to me that it breaks the ToS, but wrong on moral grounds too, as someone else pointed out, this is a prime example of tragedy of the commons.

There is nothing we can do about "grandfathering" in houses, however there is a person here in this very thread that posted several times about how they exploited rules and violated rules (especially when they told someone about buying a house for a 100 M, and buying personal house over FC so it is easier to sell it off.) to help buy a ward out. I feel I need to remind to those that are confused that there is nothing we can do about with some people owning a lot of homes, on the other hand you shouldn't be posting about how to exploit the rules.

At the very least Alleo understands that punishing players without warning is unfair. If SE gave a warning that they would no longer turn a blind eye to certain violations that would be fair and I would have no complaints. Some would still complain, but overall if SE gave warnings and did not punish people retroactively that is fair. You on the other hand want to punish people retroactively for something SE was made aware the moment the rule changes were announced. That is unfair, I cannot speak for anyone else but that is all I have been trying point out that punishing people for violations they have let go unchecked because of a change of heart is unfair, they should make an official statement stating how they are going to be stricter when it comes to rule enforcement.

Sorry the ToS itself is not a warning, since if they do not enforce the rules they should not expect people to follow them. Do you not see how it would be unfair to hand out punishments without giving an official statement regarding the change in how they will be handing enforcing the ToS, after not enforcing said rules for the longest time? Nevertheless, I do agree with Zale, that realistically you should be more upset with SE, people warned SE and they did not listen yet you are upset with players instead of the developers.
