In-game paper issues

Nova marvels how common sense is not so common.

An attempt to de-escalate on the thread.  Sarva, repeating what you said before caused more bad feelings.  I suggest staying clear, as you seem to be making it worse. 

Raikana's precise question is different from how most people are forming it.  She's quite clear about wanting the newspaper not to be banned by a disgruntled player.  Her RP is a good one and it's a valid concern. 

I think other people who are trying to say she shouldn't bother the staff or who repeat things that have been said before (or tell her to get over it, never helpful) should go troll another thread.  I have one to suggest, it's by Roled and it will wish you a happy holiday and a one month vacation.

Ciao...and Raikana it's better for your health to not reply to people who are just trying to stir you up again.  If the 4 GMs were behaving in the same way that Sarva is, which is to fail to see clearly the player is upset and has a valid point, then I understand how this thing happened.  For now, wait until a staff member who has some diplomacy and kindness gets back to you.  My impression is that Talad is looking into it, that's better than anything.  Don't read the people who don't understand, you've done enough to try to get them to understand your point (and they don't, they act as if you'd like to publish everything and anything, as opposed to that you want to keep your newspaper going within reasonable constraints but not subject to threats from players who may disklike you OOC).

Now I will take my own advice and get off this thread.  Happy holidays creatures....

I think everyone made his points, and this is becoming just a repetition of each one's positions.

There are three fundamental points:
1) The GM team does not stop a "potential" writing or event just because a player complains about it with us. This has never been done, and will not be done in the future.
2) The GM team has the right to check any writing, post, event, or else to consider if it may be detrimental to the game, to other players or to the social rules of good behavior. This is done in any case, and anyway, even if you write 1 million pages of text in here This is crucial to moderate the game, and we will always do this in protection of the players all, including you Raikana, in case there will be a situation in the future which involves you, specular to this one.
3) All people in the GM team knows well the distinction between IC and OOC, and if someone wants to play an evil characters, that's permitted, under certain limits. The same is true for a paper, or a writing or a saying. The limits are defined by common sense, and ultimately by the GM team.

To summarize I suggest to settle down this matter, leave the judgment to the writer to publish the paper as was conceived or with modifications, and allow the GM team to do what he thinks is right after reading the paper. I also suggest to speak with a GM as little as possible. GMs are OOC and they do not exist in Yliakum. They should intervene only in very rare cases. Forget the GM team even exists, and they will do their job and you will leave your alter ego life without any interruptions.
