If it's a month or more old, I'll lock it and give you an angry face.

Edit: wait, you said threads, meaning plural... if you res multiple old threads, especially considering you are fully aware that what you would be doing is against the rules, thus demonstrating disrespect for them, and by extension the staff, the server and the community, you may find yourself with a bit more than just an angry face from me.

Then I'll make a new thread you can't  the new thread

awwwwww.... but I wanted to

Doesn't the Pic thread violate this rule 

-Distribution of any personal real-life information.

Aren't you giving away your real life face?

I think that would fall under this point in the clarification thread:

This hadn't been spelled out in the rules before this, as best as I can remember, but it has been something we've always moderated when reported. If you want to reveal your own information, that's your prerogative, but you should respect the privacy of others. --snip--

Just like any personal information, you can post your own picture in Pictures of Players if you feel like it; it's totally voluntary. You post knowing full well that any consequences would not be aRO's fault, but rather, your own.
Basically, I would not stop someone from saying that their name is John Doe, but I would definitely edit a post if it somebody other than John himself said it. At least, that's how I read that rule.

-Distribution of any personal real-life information.

Any is bolded in the rules meaning pictures >_> this rule contradict the other rules set >_< because a Picture is real-life information is it not, I don't want the thread locked but you should reword the rule differently >_> 

[doxugen]

I'm not disputing your point that a person's picture is personal real-life information - I agree with you there.

What I'm saying is that if a person wants to post his or her own picture, that's their business and the moderators probably won't stop them.
If that person crosses the line by posting somebody else's picture without permission, however, we would be forced to act.
(Of course, any other mods can correct me if I'm mistaken, but this is my understanding of this rule.)

EDIT:
I almost forgot to mention: if the staff feels that anything needs to be tweaked or added, we'll do so. You don't need to paste the same point across multiple threads to get our attention.

Dreamer, quit trying to find loop holes and then concentrating on them. Something of that nature really, really doesn't matter. If you post your own picture or phone number whatever, fine. But don't come crying to the GM team afterwards. Stop being a little kid about the whole thing. You know what it means, everyone else knows what it means.

We shouldn't have to reword the rules differently, people should stop trying to think of ways to get around the rules or bend the wording to make things work their way.
