    You're worried about a Mod warning? Those are like badges of honor. It means you're probably doing something right. 

    Anyway, you owe it to us all to come clean with your info now that you have piqued our curiosity  :p
    I'm more proud of my 4 spam points, 4 abuse points, and 2 probations than my 360+ likes and 50+ insightfuls......

    Indeed, they're just like ASBOs (for those lucky enough not to live in the paradise known as the UK, this was the completely useless and unintentional hilarious answer to gang violence). Why don't we see these warnings and other 'negative' points, so we can brag how badass we are on a forum full of nerds and geeks ;)

    I don't get this why ask if something is allowed, got a rumor post it as speculation and reference that you are basing this speculation on something you "read online somewhere"  You would be covered unless mods just don't care about proof, culpability and that stuff.

    I only have one Abuse point  :( I have gotten DMs directly from mods telling me to stop being a jerk though.

    Because, 9 times out of 10, that "read online somewhere" comes from datamining. Generally speaking, if you can post proof that it isn't from that (i.e. when they posted about Lockjaw on Facebook, or maybe if a new character leaks in art that got released for something else), then it would be fine.

    And because at this point, if what I read is true I know something I shouldn't, and if it's not I would create false excitement & expectation followed by disappointment. None of the results would be good for the community :). 

    I asked because I wanted to talk with somebody about it, since I was very excited by what I read. But I don't want to break the rules, just to feed my ego. Sorry :). 

    But I can tell you this: if it's true, most of the forum will be happy.

    Ha ha!  I like your optimism.  Every change has pages of complaints.

    Yeah, no.

    'We wait 4 years for XXXX, then you bring him/her as a 5*?!? Now I'll never get to play him/her!!!!1111111'

    Never underestimate the stupidity of this forum.
