If you have valid information, it will be looked at. I have NEVER locked an account/locked a thread/shut someone down EVER who claimed CRB. It is always looked into as much as possible. One thing I think most people don't understand is that we do a LOT of work on the PD side to make sure we treat people fairly. Sometimes, yes PD or other staff do break the rules. You'd be surprised to find perhaps that they ARE delt with. However, there is also the very fact that
a) not always provable - and we do our best not to work on un-provable stuff
b) sometimes, just because you THINK there is a CRB, there isn't always. And in fact, we see that with both regular players and staff that have either been accused by someone else or something raised a flag from PD itself.

Give us a break guys. There isn't some mass conspiracy here. Which, if you joined PD and saw the cases you'd know.

If there was a conspiracy set up by PD, why would we believe you - a PD member - that there isn't one? :roll: :twisted:

I was a member of the PD for awhile. Then I became inactive and then they dropped me from the department.

This was years and years after I first argued about staff members abusing the rules they were there to enforce. There was a time alot of the staff worked together in the game, like it or not I still believe its the truth. They worked together in some pretty big areas back in the day... today those areas are pretty dead and trying to make a come back in a more legit way then they were when it was being formed in the first place.

As an ex pd member myself...having quit the department on my own decision...Unfortunately, I'm in agreement with Brandon on this having seen it myself in multiple incidences with certain members. Shame it happens, but it does / did.

However, I'd also point out that it is not ALL staff and not ALL pd members. Just a select few.

There's plenty of cheating going on in Cantr. The game is founded on a rather idealistic idea of people not using OOC info. It's a shame when it happens and it's a shame that people who don't use such info are at a disadvantage, but there really isn't anything anyone can do.

I should bite my tongue before I let it out that at this point I don't think any of those select few are pd atm.

My new neighbor came over - she is so sweet. She brought me flowers for my kitchen window! Too bad she doesn't realize I have a very very black thumb, and I didn't have the heart to tell her that. LOL but what a sweetie pie! I'm so glad to have neighbors! The house next to us has been empty since it was built!
(edit: note to self, that is a good reason why I need to get ready when I get up vs waiting, hahaha. She caught me right out of the shower I had to rush to get dressed lol!!!)

I have a rant. I sometimes have the feeling that there is way too much discussions start out of a simple "should", although it's semi-imperative value is clearly nullified because it is clearly a mere opinion. Oh, and let it be written: I include myself within the group that starts such discussions.

Because critics need to look upon their own reflection.

Just got back from the doc today after having had a fainting episode yesterday. After visiting with the doc, I'm now just a little worried about medical test results tomorrow :(

Thought: it reallyreallyreallyreally bothers me when people misspell tongue or rogue. Like, more than it reasonably should and way more than other misspellings.

*hugs* It was best that you went, did the tests and will find out what is wrong. Let me know when you get the results.
