Rule 17; social interaction, classifieds, friends etc:

I'm sure it could be very easy to code in something that would let those be posted in /ads, but not post on the real-time ad popup. Maybe using a separate command like /socialad or /classified or similar and thus triggering the system to post in /ads but not post on the pop ups at the bottom of your screen. In reality a lot of players don't use the forums a lot or the social media sites especially while they are in-game and playing. They can at times be toxic, inappropriate and borderline trollish. It's not everyone's cup of tea. I don't think it's particularly fair to push someone to use them in order to find and meet people in-game. I think people should be given the choice and freedom to do so as they wish. I don't see a harm in allowing them to show up on the /ads menu, maybe in its own category so you don't even have to see it if you don't want to. Just establish some rules around them like everything else.

 

Smart.
