The Rules
#21
RE: The Rules
Same goes for videos. We saw it the first time, thanks all the same.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

God please. And snip walls of texts, especially when you're not splitting them up with responses per section.

RE: The Rules
I think the trolling rule is way to subjective to adjudicate. It falls entirely upon the current available staff as to which way a decision will go. I don't know what the answer to that is but I just thought is put it out there. Obviously there are lots of cases where there is no doubt.

You're still here, so we must be doing something right. :p

Incidentally - all of the rules have some subjectivity involved and required judgement calls. Why do you think we require a significant quorum of votes to do anything potentially harmful?

Yet we've been managing okay so far. Wonder why?

Make me! Tongue

Or... something... Dodgy Rawr, feisty, isn't she?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
