I hate having to make posts like this, so I'll make it short. Essentially we've been alerted that a lot of users are unclear as to what is and isn't allowed in various parts of our site in terms of begging.
Shoutbox:
There is to be NO begging of any description in the shoutbox. The same goes for advertising.
Forums:
In the forums, you are not allowed to beg in a forum post, or in your forum text. If you are found to do so, you will get an instant warning.
You are allowed to beg in your signature within reason. If a UA asks you to change your signature because the begging is ridiculous, then you must do so or it will be cleared and you will be warned.
Also, while I'm here. The decisions that are made by UAs in terms of the forums are not up for discussion. If you genuinely feel you have been wronged, sending abusive mails to the UA in question will not help you. Instead you should bring it up with an AA, or file a ticket. It will be looked into, but we have very little patience for people who dont follow the system.
Ive been watching richie. Stop this now. Thats all Im gonna say. You know my aim and where to find me. dont push this.
