@fmf saidGame board chat shouldn't be used as an avenue to try and sell an opponent cryptocurrency, especially when such communications have a high chance of being a scam. I don't think it is moddycoddling of admin to take action where they can.
On forums, I get it. But it seems overly moddycoddling of us if it applies to private, direct communication as well.

@fmf saidSome people might be more open to financial exploitation, for a variety of reasons, and a game board chat can be used to gain somebody's trust, before the topic of cryptocurrency is introduced.

It's cool that you personally don't need to be protected, but RHP isn't just here for your personal protection and is looking to safeguard the general membership at large, including some of its more vulnerable users.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidIf Russ wants to chase such people away, I'm fine with it.

@fmf saidIf you have a yard sale and somebody else sets up a lemonade stand on your property and starts selling lemonade without your permission, you may be ok with that, but Russ isn’t and I agree with him. Russ isn’t providing a ‘space’ for someone else to get rich here.

@moonbus saidI disagree for stuff that's not on the forums but I accept Russ's ruling. If someone wants to talk about selling me something in an ingame chat, it's fine by me.
