In Reply to: Another post by Hank... posted by Beaker on November 5, 2003 at 3:03 AM:
You already had that at the bottom of your reply :-)
But it seems I didn't have the 1st one you linked, so that gives me another to add to my list...
: When and why hits are deleted - also I like elsewhere in that thread a reply by Excelsior - an accurate (to me anyway) analysis concerning competitiveness (which of course is what leads to cheating) on WG.
: : Yoda,
: : I am not sure if your question is completely answered by Hank on the forums.
: : However, with a quick search, of my linked posts, this is what I could find… This topic is so cyclical, I am sure Hank has addressed it in the past on various occasions.
: : Follow the thread and note Hank’s responses.
: : With all the hullabaloo, I wanted to check...
: : O.K., I cannot speak for Hank… but I will give you my opinion… Hank would prefer that people use their common sense. The rules and guidelines are not arbitrary, but are present in order that site function more smoothly. People who try to twist the words to promote their personal gain, not only do a disservice to themselves, but to the entire WG community and the site itself. In certain situations Hank might not prescribe guidelines for what people should and shouldn't do. He can't have someone go around saying "but Hank said it was ok to do x, y, and z" just because Hank said it was not ok to do a, b or c. Hank does not have the time, nor the energy to think up every situation that could circumvent the site rules. Hank might not even see every post that may conflict with site rules. Hank appreciates all of us who remind others of the site rules and guide those individuals in the correct direction.
: : As I said before, if others could see the multitude of bills entries and account terminations that Hank processes, one might have a better understanding on how a multitude of bills that are hit by the same accounts can appear to be suspect.
: : Just this week, Hank was deleting bill entries from two accounts. One user owned a bar. Another user was a bartender. Too many bills were hitting the two accounts to be considered acceptable (whatever that threshold is). This may be more common if a town is small and bills don’t leave town as often.
: : By the way... I don't feel attacked. *laugh* Sometimes, I feel like I don't explain well. *smile*
: : Thanks,
: : Hans,

: : : I too appreciate a calm and articulate exchange of opinions. Thank you for the reply; I was expecting it, in fact.
: : : But I do have an important question. You talk about Hank's rules on this issue... what exactly are those rules? The User Guidelines talk about it being wrong to trade bills with other users. But finding multiple bills in circulation from one other Georger is not the same. I assume Hank must have posted about this on the forum, or something. I would like to know what these rules are.
: : : Understand, I'm not attacking you. I am just interested in knowing what the rules are, as stated by Hank, on this issue, because I honestly don't know... and would like to. Thanks,
