CHANGES TO OFF SITE MAFIA/LSG ADVERTISING RULES

Since the recent decision to unban thingyman there has been some feedback from the community that they would like to remove the prohibition against recruitment from the general site rules. After deliberation the mod team has decided that we agree and feel like the rule has not served a productive purpose in a long time. Therefore we have decided to make the following changes to the site rules:

"This includes unsolicited links to other Mafia-specific sites." will be removed from Prohibited Actions 1 of Universal Site Rules

Discord Specific Rule 6 ("Spamming or advertising other sites or communities is not allowed. This includes linking to other mafia sites and other sites that have Large Social Games (a.k.a. “Online Reality Games”). Please ask a relevant list moderator if you would like to advertise. If links are requested or solicited, please keep them in private rather than the server.") will be removed entirely.

We believe the greater mafia and ORG communities are stronger when sites view each other not as competitors but as friends and parts of a greater whole. For this reason we will no longer be treating solicitation for play on other sites as against the site rules. Cases where users are not members of our community and only on the website to solicit players for other sites will be handled the same as any other kind of spam content
