My project : a pure legit community

[LennyLen]

As for the PLM, and I'm sorry to somewhat hijack your thread with my initial posting here, I think that this is a good idea, but I have a few suggestions. Instead of having each member post what is for the most part his/her character page, why not simply force each character to play as a new Level 1 purist. Then, whenever a player finds a good item (defined by each as an item which someone might take the trouble to steal through an itemtheft utility), have him/her post the DiabloGuard ID number of it, thus "claiming" said item. This way, each member of the community knows for sure that a member is not going to be stolen from without repercussion.

What you and the OP seem to have forgotten is that Diablo, as a game, is meant to be enjoyed. I doubt that anyone will find playing in the way that either of you describe enjoyable.

Oh, and it's not a "DiabloGuard ID number". The ID number is created by the game itself. These numbers are not unique, which is why scanners give false positives for dupes, especially amongst common items like gold and potions.

The necessary course of action, to me, is to attempt to spread legitimacy and expand it to what it once was.

You won't succeed. Those days were over long ago. Just pick a "legit" community and play with those people. (Be sure to tell people you're a scanner user though, or you're no better than the cheaters you condemn).
