Alliance rules

Quote from ChrisB

hi

Wonder if anyone give me advice on the following:

An alliance have copied are alliance rules and are using them. The rules are word for word with the odd change.

Any advice would be appreciated

ChrisB,

Although it may be a pain seeing another alliance copying your rules and all, I don't think there is a necessity to conduct any punishment towards the alliance.

Yes you might have spent hours on rules or maybe even seconds for some. However it is just a bunch of words that cause no actual harm to you or your alliance besides hurt your feelings. I think you should just let it go, maybe at the most message the owners if you REALLY are super butthurt about it and ask if they could please not copy your rules and change them completely.

I just honestly think getting hurt over a bunch of words that aren't being disrespectful to anyone, is just something we shouldn't care much about here. If it was stealing graphics packs or something more important, then yes 100% go for it, but its just a bunch of words put together.

Is a shame that all of these members are all that we have kicked and have copied our rules and rank structure.
They say Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

Be more of a compliment to your alliance rules if someone has copied them. To be fair most alliance rules are pretty similar as everyone pretty much has the same goals.

It just proves that yours are fancy and worth using.
This all happened with our alliance and happening still(some copied our rules, some even the exact layout of recruitment and rules page design, some our exact name).

We just found it weird.

The members in that alliance are members who we either kicked for inactivity or other reasons.
There then join make an alliance and copy are rules and command structure, even down to the titles people hold.

ChrisB,

What others in this forum have posted, its just showing that yall have a good, solid setup that is proven to work and they want to be an alliance like yours. You're the founders of your own miracles and should'nt be upset if others take your work here because you know that you made it all and put all the hard work in and you are seeing it elsewhere now. You made a good move, don't let it feel like it should run your alliance down dude.

Yeah it's common. I've had it a lot too. We have a heap of beginners guides and content within the forum area of our alliance and people just create temporary accounts to get into the alliance and copy it all word for word to put in their own forums. Some of it took many hours to put together.
Frustrating but not much you can do. Just take it as a compliment, they wouldn't copy it if it was no good.
