In a world where honesty is an option, stat checking is a necessity.
How you use or present your information is another matter, stat checking isn’t the same as stat shaming.

You are right stats checking is not stats shaming but if you throw people stats with screenshot on forum to back your answer then is consider close to stats shaming to back your claim.
Well… no Wrong… we are very strict about how other members treat each other here… I have been on Forums since 1996… and I have seen some very bad things go down over that time… many Forums that I had experienced, had very poor Moderation, and pretty much nothing was done to stop some very bad things… hell… I was even banned on one forum because I criticized game play, and it was peaceful and respectful…
So… many of us on Staff have pretty much seen it all out there, and we wanted this Forum to be very different experience and a safe place for everyone…
Very first line in the Rules / Guidelines made by the Developers…
This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion
Please treat this discussion forum with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation.
These are not hard and fast rules, merely guidelines to aid the human judgment of our community and keep this a clean and well-lighted place for civilized public discourse.

Oh lordy… where to start…
^ Something long those lines… we had actually removed the Stat Shaming rule years ago… However, as mentioned above, it is more about “Stat Checking” or even Stat Comparing… as soon as it becomes obvious that there is malicious intent, and it is more about Stat Shaming rather than “Stat Checking” or even Stat Comparing, then we / Moderators will have issue with that…
Members should feel Safe and Free to be them selves here without harassment and or torment… Developers / Admins and Forum Staff want the Forum to be a safe place for all to enjoy…
