The Baalz's Good Player Pledge and
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com//showthread.php?t=32050 posted by Calahan are both useful, but still I don't think that it is proper to prohibit other players to exchange information. I wrote about obstruction.. In our case obstruction is not possible, just because people like pyg and many other wil be happy to be in backstabbing list, because they don't see anything wrong to be liested in it. And if the list wouldn't be popular, it would die out itself, but if people reported there regularly, it would mean it's useful.
And, even if it was not like I described (worst scenario some players threaten us with) and it became a thread of hate, I believe it's also not a problem. Just we had to rename it to holy wars and let people tell what they think about each other and moderate only trolling. And if we have such thread admins would have much more moral authority not to allow these things in other threads. Just take any thread they don't like and move it here.
I'm a newbie on this forum though and don't know all the stories. Maybe I miss something. Just I believe that any prohibition and appeals to admins to prohibit something is really a last resort. and I'm quite surprised that people who are not admins voted so energetically to close MY thread.
