This has already been discussed somewhere, however I believe it needs to go further.
I'm sick of all the adverts around PlaneShift these days, it's spamming and it's outright annoying!! :thumbdown:
So I complain that the devs and GMs need to set some rules up on the use of books for adverts. I believe that they are to be only located on Billboards and not walls/buildings, fences, or sign posts. I do not mind notices about events being in popular areas like Kada El's or Harnquist's.

As public as a billboard is, as diverse are the posters on it.
Some posters get glued on my GMs. Others are removed by noobs or jealous people, due to IC or OOC reasons ... who knows?
But usually they have some ammount of effort put in. So they usually deserve to be shown and read. In my opinion, at least.

Vaka is speaking of the flyers that ARE NOT posted on the billboards but are instead posted everywhere else you can think of.
Vaka, if you have such a big problem with them, why not pick them up and toss them in a furnace? Treat them how your character would treat them. Maybe confront those that you know are posting them.
Creating game rules about posting flyers outside of a billboard is a bit extreme. Handle it in game through RP.

I can assist you with killing the spammers ingame.My character hates them too.

selling them is better than burning them.

I find myself acting more in-character the more I play, and one thing I used to do was just leave posts up OOCly out of respect for the poster. But, I had a heart-to-heart with my character and realized I was doing her an injustice by letting the flyers stay, even when she objected to them.
So, I agree that in-game action is the best course here. Though, in once sense, this could be considered an in-character act. Sometimes when people do not like something, they make efforts to enact rules to outlaw the possibility of it. And that is how you come up with law books so large as to be completely impossible for any citizen of the country to know them all, and yet one of the laws is "ignorance of the law is no excuse."
O.o

Ah the fun of playing a Red Way mage.
*Travosh incinerates a few more fliers
There really should be a spell in that way for incinerating objects, at realm 2 or 1 too.

Trav, sweetie.. that's why you didn't know when Roled and Lattia's wedding was. You burned the flier. :P

That and the willfull denial of information. But i got the last laugh when you all got murdered.

Isn't the old saying, "The guild that dies together, stays together?"

Terribly sorry for bumping, but maybe GMs could at least NOT stick posters that are just selling people things. Guild ads are fine it seems. Event ads are certainly best use for the billboard. But having GM's stick posters for people's personal gain just seems a bit exploiting to me.

I have to say I forgot about this thread.

I do agree with this. It's in some ways grieving.
I don't think RPing it is the right thing to do. I can't see how spamming (that I see OOC) can be brought IC. It's just pathetic and they should just stop it. I certainly find much more interesting and more interacting RPs more worth my time than things like this. I got school, sport and a job. I just don't have the time to be 'RPing' around about stupid adverts.

Perhaps they could charge a 100 Euro donation per month to Atomic Blue for these sticky ads.
