I just got a PM from a girl, asking to trade. She said not to mention the fan site because, quote, "We don't want any bans." Can we really get banned if we say we're from a fan site?

Yup, you will get banned if you mention another Web Site on VMK, it is against the VMK Values

Yes if you really want to talk about the fan site develop a secret code between your friends.

I know a couple dudes warned for fan site talk. But never heard of bans. It must be one of those rumours

Your just not supposed to tell who you are on the fansite to anyone on VMK, because who you tell can look at your profile, and see your info. That's all I know.

If i'm not mistaken, You can only talk about Disney-owned Websites.
As in you cant only talk about sites owned by disney.

Not if they are not a member. Only members can access the information page of a user.

Thats why mods dont like you posting Wifi codes, because non-members can see, and its basically giving out personal information :)

You moist certainly can. Back awhile before beta, I got a warning for asking if a girl had a fan site account >_<

It is an extremely high possibility. Try and stay away from the word fansite, or fan site (LOL). It is dangerous. Usually, vmk will start you off with a warning. If you ever recieve that warning, never, and I mean never, do it again. Luckily, I have never recieved that warning -.-

Don't mention your fansite title. Other than that, you're ok talking about the fan site :)

Do you really want to test it out though?

I'm not so sure about this. I've seen warnings for just mentioning our site.

Let's not test the waters shall we? :P

For a trade, I just say " Hiya! I'm spot. " and the trade goes on, i've never gotten a warning for talking about the site.

Vmk frowns on other sites and prefers all trades are only done through vmk or by obtaining trading cards at the parks

I've talked about this site a couple of times, I just never mention what my title is on here. Never have received a ban or warning. As for now I am more careful just incase. So this is now known as "the other place" for me.

My advice, don't mention any site that is not an official Disney site nor a site that is not created under Disney.

If you're still not convinced there's consequences, Here's some posts taken right out of the "I've been banned" thread:
:mad: what i dont get is ive seen ppl talk about vmk forums on the site recently b4 i got banned and i did the same and get banned for what ppl were doin and not getting baned for and vmk have warned ppl about what they r talking about and to stop talking about it but i never got that:confused: :(I got banned for asking someone to come on this site!!!!! I think all bans are unfair. I have been banned once for two hours for being on after their hours. I logged on VMK at 3:00 AM CST and GOT IN!! Then I went to my main room, my cafe, there were staff everywhere all of them were using my cafe!! As in they had skillets and bottles in front of them!!yes you can get banned for talking about it, my sister said that she was and using the fan site and got banned...I have a question. I was banned for 2 hours earlier for supposedly "sharing personal info". I was telling my friend to check out the fan site. I didn't know that would get me banned.. anyway my question is: Is a 2 hour ban considered a long term ban? please only post to answer the question kthanks!darn i got band for 2 hours

vmk is getting to strict

all i sayed was:

find me on vmk fain site!

beware! there cracking down!As stressed before, don't push your luck and don't complain if you get caught and banned. You have been forewarned and now you have testimonies of the consequences.

We have addressed this item on the wiki (http://www.disneysonlineworlds.com/index.php/Myths_and_Rumors#Thems_the_Rules), and it is unfortunately not a wise idea to discuss the fan site in-game.

YOU CAN NOT GET BANND for mentioning the site that was a thing started up by some freak in vmk that did not like the fan site and things and also in the vmk values it has not said that you can not say anything about vmk fan site it only says not to put your username and password on any other sites then vmk.com

it only says not to put your username and password on any other sites then vmk.com

Strictly speaking, what it says is

5. You must respect the privacy of individuals. This means no communication or solicitation of phone numbers, addresses, Social Security numbers, or any other personally identifiable information.


"Personally identifiable information" is very broad, and a dangerous area. If I tell you, in game, that I am Prisoner on the fan site, that may be considered information that personally identifies me. It is even more dangerous when you consider what information is allowed to be attached to our accounts here - our birthdays and our location. Now, most people keep this information somewhat private, but there is the possibility for information to leak.

ok i understand but i still use vmk fan site as a huge use in vmk and when ppl ask me were i find somethings out i say vmk fan site and i highly think that you can not be bannd but i understand why ppl think the way you think

Aye, it is technically personal info.. and how does VMK know if you tell all that stuff or not? My friend got banned ten years for saying she was on the fansite, she never even had gotten a WARNING before, which is really weird..

You ask how does VMK know if you tell all that stuff or not? Well, VMK monitors all the chat. Believe it or not they do. Just because you have not got caught, yet, saying fan site on VMK doesn't mean it is OK for you to do so. Considering how many players on the site at one time they do a pretty fair job of monitoring the chat. Please be very careful.

Good Thing, Once I said, your from the site, but no warning, but someone was like stop talking... Good thing I did. Now this is called the Chicken Place, because you all know I'm obsessed with chickens!

i've never gotton banned but i got a warning because i saw someone who's name i knew from here and i said "hey i saw you on the fan site" and she was like "yea i saw you too hi" someone must have reported cause i got a warning for that. thank god

VMK prefers all trades are only done through vmk

Heh, like THAT will ever happen ;) Nobody will listen to that. I've mentioned the fan site in public rooms and have never even gotten a warning. I think its the guest rooms that they watch way more closely. Public rooms with no people are sometimes safe for saying a quick note about the Forums, but you shouldn't try it anyways...

Well, they do keep records of everything that's said, similar to threads staying here on our site.

So, if you are finally 'caught' they can go back and find everything you've said and use it against you-

Like the person above who said the person was banned for 10 years and had never even had a warning.

i think trading goes better on fan sites then on VMK by itself. but only when trading idems and not codes i've done about 4 trades where the deal was made here and it's faster and easier. and i've made like half my friends that way :) on VMK everyone is like im poor

Well, the only time I've talked about it is with some friends ( We said 'The Site') and when we had that last ride competition.. when we had some, uh problems with our team.. I never got anything though, no warning or anything..
