Avatars impersonating funranks

[Frank]

Avatars impersonating funranks that the user doesn't own should be against the rules. Obviously if a non-staff user impersonates a staff rank, there would have to be a rule created to prevent that. I say let's just create the rule now and draw the line at all funranks.

For example,
Superfluous impersonating his moderator rank is allowed.

Tyler impersonating Legendary should not be allowed.

Mootrucks impersonating Angelic should not be allowed.

Why if I may ask? What would this change bring exactly and what is your thinking behind this?

 

No support, it's a pretty good sith meme.

It's a pointless joke at best and unlawful impersonation at worst. Kinda belittles the value of owning the actual funrank if you can just impersonate it in your avatar, right? Idk, thought it was pretty obvious why this should be against the rules. Maybe not. Is there any reason to allow this?

 

Its just a picture. Who cares

You should be allowed to use whatever you want as your avatar, as long as it doesnt break the sythe rules

That's what I'm saying, it should be against the rules. What if I change my avatar to impersonate a staff rank, obviously a rule would have to be made to prevent that. I say that we make the rule now and draw the line at all fun ranks.

No support, no one is harmed by it, it's all in good fun.

I honestly just didn't really think of it as a big deal. I think people are smart enough to to see who owns what and whether someone is a staff member or not. I don't think any members with fun ranks have complained yet so this suggestion isn't really needed. I understand what you're saying but I honestly think its just a bit of fun.

 

Theres nothing wrong with this lol. If someone is abusing this to impersonate mod/admin postions then they'll be banned. It'd be unfair to restrict this for those who use this for fun/as a meme.

Alright, that's fair. I will delete this thread

 

If it's a fun rank it should be no problem. Only problem I'd have is if someone put a moderator or OMM rank in their avatar.

My next choice was to rip the OMM rank.

Lol no support except for staff/omm/highly trusted ranks ect.

 

[Superfluous]

staff impersonation will be infracted, everything else is fine imo

also, who are you calling an impostor???

No see he gave you permission.

For example,

So you are allowed to because he says
