So, today, someone posted a link in a group chat, and upon clicking
on it, the clicker will adopt a egg from the lab. One of my friends
clicked on the link, and adopted an egg, and as he is on a hunt,
will get his chain broken as he cannot afford an extra egg storage.
Is the sender at fault here?
I believe that it isn't the senders Fault, But the One who clicked
the Link as He clicked on the Link Himself and the sender cannot be
blamed for the one who adopted the eggs actions. But the sender
should have given a Warning about where the Link lead to. Therefore
Both are at fault
the clciker should have been careful and instead of clicking on it
without thinking, he/she should have asked the sender about the
link or inspected it.according to site rules, the sender has not
violated any rule...the clicker should be careful in future
In a way, yes. They should have posted after that, or along with
it, that it would break chains. However, it may have slipped
his/her mind at that point of time, or they simply don’t know about
this whole chain breaking thing
But then again, what was the formatting of the post
If the link sender sent the link with the group's general
understanding that it is an adopt link, then the clicker simply
made a goof.
However, if the link sender claimed it was something else (said it
was something else or someone asked for a link to another page and
the sender sent that link instead), then the sender was definitely
acting really scummy. Depending on who the group members are
(friends), I wouldn't blame the clicker for trusting the sender. In
this case, the sender may violate Rule 1.1 (not being friendly and
deliberately causing trouble for other users).
If it's the latter case, your friend might wanna seek a moderator's
opinion on this (report it?) and provide them with the full context
of how this took place.
