Dudes, no more CL_FlyThenFall

Shorts, I think that is a great idea! Maybe it will help Fly get his title back. He is really a great leader, and doesn't deserve to be banned, especially since he was answering a guest's question at the time, with the same language that the VMK Staff is allowed to use.

Actually, VMK Staff does not use the "fake" language; they avoid it. This was discussed at a meeting we had at one point and VMK_Babs said not to use fake words, numbers, etc. I have, though, seen one staffer use it on one rare occassion.
 
OMG! U were the best CL in VMK Fly! I can't believe they banned u for no unappropriate Behavior! If yavn is ever on VMK,then I Could Tell Him About This And Maybe you'll become a Community Leader Again! Thanks For Posting This Shocking Thread! Hugs For u! :grouphug:
 
there is no way a person playing this game can play unless we can use code words to help them out...Afterall not ever player in VMK belongs to a forum board and know the ends and outs of play within the kingdom.

Fly this really is unbeleivable that they banned you of all people! I am writing them a note tonight.
Fly the only other thing and this is just a thought but you used code along with the word house maybe just maybe that is what triggered the ban. Still it was uncalled for and needless.

Maybe they should be concentrating on the scammers and rude players instead of being as petty as this.

exactly!

Yes they do I have seen it on more times than I can count and will start taking screen shots of it now.

CL or not CL fly, you are still one of the DUDES!!!!!
 

I saw Phinny use the code words at least 3 times during the judging of the pin rooms on saturday, she kept saying she would be in her room at "for" plus other little nuances she used to get around the dictionary
 
fly, I saw that you were in his room, did he say anything about it?
 
Thanks for all of this everyone...I'm so happy to know that all of you are supporting me!

Anyways, I did ask Yavn about this matter. He did say that you cannot work around the dictionary anymore. And it turns out the concern isn't so much that I was getting around the dictionary. It was that I disregarded the first warning about getting around the dictionary and went around it one more time. I guess they didn't figure in that I was trying to help someone out! So as it stands, I'm still "CL_FlyThenFall" but I do not have a CL button. I believe Pebble has gotten her button back, but I haven't been as lucky.

The funny thing is, Yavn then asked the room what they felt should happen if someone disregards a warning. To my distress everyone said they should be banned...or VMK should take action against the offender. Well then, I suppose I'm just becoming the rogue CL in more and more ways. Then again, in a couple days I may not even be a CL. ::Sigh::

I just want you all know that that I'm doing perfectly A-OK and that I don't need no cheering up, don't need the leaders here to resign, and I don't want to see more people get banned by protesting in Central Plaza because they're using words that get around the dictionary! If you can, just send a friendly note about me...the letters will get to them eventually!

Hugs and "heart" to everyone! I'll see you around the kingdom...I think some clarinet time is in order to calm my nerves!
 
Arg That is totally unfair Fly, I guess since I used it twice in I sentece I got lucky, but you are a way better leader then I am, and you are a more experienced Leader! They should give you a break, I mean really...
 
This makes me seventeen different ways of angry, and I am seriously considering giving up my status as active player in VMK. I always knew that my non-conformist attitudes and unusual way of thinking would not agree with the values that Disney has upheld since the times of Walt, and now these random acts of senseless banning proves it.

It also proves my theory that maybe VMK should be just for kids and kids alone, and that adults like us should have no place in any Disney market, even though we are the ones who spend our hard-earned money to the company.

I should write VMK, but only to let them decide whether they want to keep me as an active player or not. Do you agree?
 
another good CL bites the dust, soon all thats going to be left is the ''sock'' ups as we say in vmk.

this is really pathetic, i dont really feel like playing when everytime i say something the VMK SS comes to get me.
 
Thanks for the update, Fly! Glad to see that you still have CL_ in your title! Hopefully the badge will return soon...

I really hope they post an announcement on the home page or newsletter about not substituting words for numbers, for all who have not heard about this incident today, and for all the new guests who have no clue that it would be breaking a rule. That way, there will be no question in the future as to why we have been given a warning or a ban. It is not clearly stated anywhere at this point in time.

:confused3

Also, I'm curious to find out whether the Staff will no longer be able to use those words in that manner either!

they can say whatever the 'eck suits them, cause there "special" they should try talking in our dictionary.


you have been booted for for hours duh too not nice act tion....
 
I'm sorry to hear your bad news, Fly :(. I have to say that I find this whole VMK thing simply fascinating :scratchin. It is going to be very interesting to see how Disney manages this juggling act: Maintaining its image of keeping VMK extremely safe for kids, while still allowing its countless adult (and teen) fans to participate, communicate, and exchange ideas/information in even the most innocent manner. Disney knows that the adults are typically the ones controlling the money. And we all know adults who have already been to the parks to do the quests, tours, etc. - many of whom did so without any children present.

Disney must have seen this dilemma coming when they first came up with the concept of VMK. Surely they knew that many Disney-loving adults would be extremely interested, and that it would sort of become a chat room. But it sure seems like they didn't formulate a decent plan for dealing with child/teen/adult interaction before opening up the "gates". Maybe they concluded that there is no solution that can satisfy both the child safety issue and the communication issue.

Disney has probably the highest child-friendly, clean image in the world, and the internet is a realm that they cannot control. So while it would be nice if they could open up the VMK dictionary a little, I kind of doubt they do. It sounds like maybe they are going to crack down instead. My guess is that they rely bigtime on unofficial sites like the DIS to provide a place for adult fans to communicate with one another.
 
i think they should do the opposite of what they are doing now, have certain words banned in stead of certain words allowed.

that would not work. too many words in the real dictionary.

But it sure seems like they didn't formulate a decent plan for dealing with child/teen/adult interaction before opening up the "gates".

But they do know ways to resolve this did you see my post HERE about ToonTown another Disney run online game.


Fly I really hope you get your badge back and keep your CL title.

Oh please, has he tried to hold a decent conversation without using the getarounds? Even the simplest of chats can turn into the equivalent of verbal gymnastics even when not using numbers specifically.

Would be interesting to know how many in the room where Yavn groupies just being yes people to stay in with the crowd.

Thanks for your link - I had not seen that. I am not familiar with Toon Town, but maybe they'll decide to use that system if it is compatible with VMK.
 
Oh, I'm so sorry Fly! That's just awful. I understand you're not supposed to use those fake words, but couldn't they have looked to see what you were using them for first? :(
