Rule 0

[Charlette]

...

Hey Tom! My friend ( TandBStables ) had their ability to use the forums disabled because they shared their ( school? )email in one of them. I completely understand why a player would lose their ability to post on the forums if they did that. I think Rule 0 was created on November 13th and TandBStables posted their email around November 9th. I don't really think its fair that they are facing the consequences of breaking rule 0 when they broke the rule before it was created. I did tell them about the new rule and why their ability to post on the forums was revoked. They said they didn't know it was a rule until they couldn't use the forums. Is there any way they can get it back or is it permanent / they did it again after the rule was created?

I agree with you 100% that posting your email ( especially school emails ) is not safe and should not be posted anywhere on this website. I fully support the rule but not the circumstances in which TandBStables has lost their ability to post on forums if they lost it the way I think they did

Also do you think it would be possible to add an automatic notification whenever a new rule is added? It would make it easier for all of the players to be fully aware of the new rule before they break it

They have to fill out the COPPA form and have a parent or guardian sign it, then return it to us with the instructions on the form.
