Title says it all really, just want to know if it’s a bannable offence to honeycomb your base. I don’t see why it would be as it’s not exploiting/cheating but would like to hear off other players.
I didn’t think stacking and honeycombing are the same thing. Honeycombing is still fine from what I understand while fence stacking has been hard “fixed” in the system.
This goes back to what is too big ( or dense in this case) and there are no hard fast rules about it. I will say that the issue here is amount. I mean fence stacking was acceptable for the longest time until the era of 100 doors came into being and those doors were affecting server function. What is acceptable is moderation can be bannable in excess. If you can adult and limit yourself, you should be fine. If you can’t then you will be removed. That is what I have seen happen in the enforcements of ToS as far as honeycombing and this idea of big base. They have stated the size of the base isn’t as important as the affects it has on other players and server resources. If I can tell someone of a particular clan logged in because my teleport time jumps from 10 seconds to 60, you may have a base that is too large.

Apologies, now you’ve explained your point it’s fence stacking in about about. I’m only using it for my doors rather than the walls so I think I should be okay but who knows! Guess time will tell.
I don’t think anyone can give you a 100% answer to this. Not even Funcom. At least not without seeing the end result

And of course where you’re building the base can affect a ban - as in block-building and blocking strategic spawns and locations, and/or surrounding some storyline site. Doesn’t always have to be because you build very wide or high.
Private servers can sometimes be an answer as many have less strict rules, or rules more suitable to a player’s needs. Good luck!
ps: and what @Narelle says

Who the f… flagged this?

I do agree 100% with this statement @rolee9309 . These flags discourage the communication between members and are equally responsible for the “toxic environment” we have some times here. Unless it’s something I don’t understand, and this flagging to this post is a @Community decision, I find this flag completely wrong, completely. Thank you @Outcast3rd for your positive mood the last days, some of us support this decision of yours

To be honest I don’t think anyone on this forum will be able to give you a concrete answer. Only FC holds the secrets

Thanks, I am curious who been flagging anything I write. Kinda shows funcom colors in my opinion that how easily things are.
It was flag as spam? Funny how me replying to someone question is spam. @Melcom
Your post was flagged as spam : the community feels it is an advertisement, something that is overly promotional in nature instead of being useful or relevant to the topic as expected.

This is an automated message, no need to rant against admins about it. If it is admins that “hide” our messages, we can communicate in private messages so we can fix the issues we cause.
But if it is other members to flag you because they can, this is not right.

That’s not how flagging works. Funcom uses an open source forum software called Discourse. Flagging is a community moderation feature provided by Discourse.
The way it works is that other forum users can flag posts they think aren’t contributing to the discussion, and if a post accrues enough flags, it will be automatically hidden and the system will send an automated message to the author. The author can then edit the post and it will be automatically shown again, but if it gets flagged again, it will get hidden again and no edits will be able to show it again unless a human moderator clears it.
If a post is hidden due to flags and the moderator does not eventually clear it, then it will get deleted by the forum software after a certain period of time.

There are several reasons a user can choose when flagging someone’s post, one of them is for spam. Someone’s abusing the flagging feature, though, because your post was definitely not spam.
In fact, I don’t think it should have been flagged for any reason, but that’s arguably subjective.

I honestly don’t know s*** about fence stacking, I don’t even use fences/fence foundations, plus I play in SP, so I only asked because it grinds my mind. As @stelagel and @CodeMage said, it is an automated reply, some forum user(s) abuse the flagging system, just like the report system in-game (as I’ve read, that is a HUUUGE problem).
Sadly (or not, everyone can decide for themshelves) the flagger remains anonymus.

The flagger is not anonymous to forum moderators tho… so people false flag at their own risk.

This means that for false flagging you loose trust level? Or you just gain a warning.
I do understand that every system has its flaws, so it is Always on member side not to abuse the systems flaws, it is the least courtesy. I still apologize to the admins for “abuse” when I private message them, no matter is they respond that it is not abuse at all. Their time is precious to deal with me, so I do my best to do it only when it’s absolutely necessary.
Other than that, I prefer not to cause issues, so they’ll have more time for fixing my game than deal with my whining. It is very common and logical, in regular size companies an employee to have more than one role. So it is very possible that some if not all the admins here, to work on the game programing as well, or as spellcheckers, etc… Il
My bottom line is simple. If we act like kindergarten children, we only make things worst. Our ego should stay out if possible and the need for communication should always prevail. We are adults, I believe we can do that.

I agree with this. It might be open source does not mean it cannot be tweaked for better moderating of users and events. Just because something open source does not mean it should be used.
Yeah, I know. But thinking about it days later… if we know who flagged us, that would be catastrophic in the forum. Even more off-topic, derailing personal attacks, and MOARR flags.

Oh I agree we shouldnt know. I just think people who flag forget that the mods know and are treading on thin ice when they flag perfectly fine posts.
