There is a common misconception (primarily because people don't read the rules properly) that here at WoW-V we delete items with high stats.

This is NOT true!

What we don't allow is extremely repetitive stats, which is stated clearly in the rules, verbatim.

This means if you have an item that uses 4+ (depending on the item) stats with the same value, it will be deleted. It doesn't matter if the stat is "999", "10000", or even just "1". If it's the same over and over, it's going to be removed.

Why? Because those items take a split second to make, aren't remotely creative, and nobody but the person that made it will want it. Sharing an item means the item has a decent chance of being used by others. The rules are in place to keep items that only the author would ever want OUT of the shared database.

But this doesn't stop you from creating them (only sharing them)! You just need to use the big, green "DOWNLOAD" button instead of the yellow "SHARE" button.

If you want a backup of your item on WoW-V, you can hit rank 3 or donate to get Donor or Sponsor status, all of which come with personal item slots (aka the red "SAVE" button). Personal/saved items are not subject to the rules, meaning you can make whatever you want without getting the item removed and/or getting yourself banned.

Quick-question:
Do the stats need to be in a consecutive order to be reported succesfully? Like this:
+400 STR
+200 STA
+400 STR
+200 STA
+400 STR
+200 STA
Or a single repeated stat is enough for a report?

They don't need to be in order. If the item has the same stat repeated again and again, report it.

Also note that it doesn't have to be the same KIND of stat... it's the value we care about.

Granted, putting multiple +STR on an item is pretty stupid since it could be condensed to a single value, but that's just something downvote-worthy.

Here is an example of an item that probably will be banned or is banned when reading this:
[item]307888[/item]

Really? Why didn't you just save it as personal?

It doesn't matter. Items like that are unnacceptable, even if it's a joke, an example, anything. Not even Mods or Admins are allowed to create such items (Only SB, since he wrote the rules. But he wouldn't do that.). In my opinion you should've been suspended for doing something as stupid that, since you fully knew the item broke the rules but you went ahead and created it anyways, even going so far as to link it and tell us to delete it. Why you did, I don't know, but if I find it stupid and unneccessary. Think about it next time you're about to do something stupid, Thath.
