Rule Change (New Staff Power)

[Huggy Bear]

I'm a little late to this party, but since I was mentioned by name, I have to address a couple of points.

You can't really skirt around a rule like that though. It's open to interpretation.

Delicate, Huggy, et al did a good job

Please....

Show me where I've done any such thing and I'll show you where I've done what the rules explicitly stated you can do (the rule has since been changed btw), and still received a warning.

I've received a warning for trolling because I quoted someones post in my signature (I have the pm to back it up), because "it served no other purpose than to shame another member". Which I admit was entirely the point. If you make ridiculous statements, you SHOULD feel ashamed when it gets brought up.

You can insult someone to your hearts content (as long as it's a "theist"), just don't embarrass them (atheist) with their own statements.

The point there is no need for this new rule, especially when this "nuclear option" already has a precedent set on psychoslice, who was banned for basically being an ass, didn't take long to do it either.

Banned psychoslice for being downright abusive. In the interest of transparency, we haven't reached quorum for a permanent ban, but I'm not going to let him shit up the forum until we've made a decision about what we will do permanently. Not on my watch.

This is where this is coming from. I doubt there will be any objections.
