Regarding PokéRus Abuse

Incorrect. The wording was deliberate. A threat would be to state that there was plans to do that - there are no plans to do that.

@Garthic: I understand why you were reacting & feeling that way & I'm sorry to hear about that, however, doesn't those negative reactions give those groups a founding ground for more talk? I think communication is important & it's sometimes important to talk to us users who appreciate your work, but see something that might be improved in less emotional way. Or give us more insight, more information about this whole issue, so no misunderstanding might spread. Which I believe was the whole problem of this announcement.

I'd just like to say that I'm against the option of forcefully unlocking rus holders' fields. I hide them simply because I don't want them or the pokemon in them shown yet. It's got nothing to do with leveling or whatnot. I haven't made them ready for viewing and therefore they are hidden.

I frankly don't care if the wording was deliberate. If there are people who have no idea what's going on here can take that as a threat - and believe me, I did check - then that is a threat. You can threaten things without the intent to act on that threat, sir. Definition or notm

@Garth, Well yay. I guess I had a decent thought then. XD

People have their fields hidden for a reason. Its so annoying getting pokerus and gettinv pms 'is *blank* uft?' Now imagine if all fields were unlocked. Those pms would multiply. I geg where this suggestion is coming from but i agree with garthic for the most part :/, especially with the whole "you know what you're doing is wrong dont do it" thing.

You and a dozen others. Your not the first person to mention this..over..and over again Can we all just calm down?? This is starting to get out of hand. It's not a threat. Definition: a statement of an intention to inflict pain, injury, damage, or other hostile action on someone in retribution for something done or not done. They aren't going to be doing anytthing so on paper, it's not a threat. Can we please calm down =[ last thing I want to happen is for the Rus to be taken away from ALL users simply because everyone is bickering

I'm against anything getting done in regard of changing the 'rus. How it is now is good, any change that have been suggested here will only add discomfort to one or another group of players. If the staff already knows how to find the users doing this, what's the point in changing anything? There still will be a loophole? Sure, but now that people know about and knows staff know about it, users can only not use it, and everything's fine, or use it and face the consequences any illegal action can bring. There really is no point in arguing^^

thats not the point i dont want people messaging me about buying my pokemon thats why they are hidden, yeah sure i can exp lock all my shinies but i wouldnt be able to keep people from messaging and asking for pokemon that clearly arent for trade. youd be amazed at how much buisness 1 rus could stir up.

I think I get the gist of what is happening. I assure you, 99% of my fields are hidden because they are empty or a mess :D and I'm rarely on right now so... It ain't me! For those who are doing it, please don't. If rus gets taken away, it'll be devastating for people like me, who use it to get their living dex mons leveled up faster or their chain eggs up faster. Please play the game how it was intended to be played. There are many other features on this site that are allowed to be "abused", such as site skins and modifications. Please maybe invest in the scripting portion of PFQ for an intellectual outlet? Anyways, just wanted to put that out there. Please don't ruin Pokerus for everyone. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say, we enjoy being able to get it when we can.
