You bring up good points, Marelli. Good idea on your suggestion to allow only reasons related to lore. One of my reasons for doing this is to read the experience, the history of the players from 2525 to the present as told by the players themselves. In the old boards some players would add links to their introduction, which always lead to good information and has helped me in creating my character’s background.
I understand the concern. I want to figure out a way to minimize it, and prevent it from happening as much as you all do. I can add rules and hope that they’ll be followed and that the forum moderators help in maintaining those rules, but it isn’t a guarantee that some bad apples won’t try to add their poison.
Ryzom has always been identified as having a friendly mature community; I can only hope that everyone who participates in adding their character’s introduction will do it with the same spirit Ryzom has been branded with. New players can then see it as an example and hopefully follow in the same steps.
