Rule Change (New Staff Power)

[Whateverist]

To me it sounds a lot like arguing over semantics, but if that will reduce the level of consternation I'll discuss it with staff.

Yeah, it is semantics, but I think the difference between making it a rule and making it something that negates the rules, is quite a big difference in all fairness. I'd be surprised if you didn't agree.

My hat's off to you.  You will definitely go to the mat for what you believe is right, even if that makes you come off as a whiny bitch.  Got to admire that kind of principles.

Nap isn't whining. He's opining.

Honestly, this discussion sounds like armchair politics and people picking on semantics and details to make a point for the sake of it. We had the prime directive, we trashed it  The staff is trying a new thing. I for one never feared being banned.

The reason why all the fear by new members is beyond me. The staff has been banning alot, true, but simple soammers.

But to be fair soammer those banned were spammers.

Or just fine-tune the rules on etiquette instead of making the rules completely superfluous.

Thanks for the backhanded compliment I suppose.

Careful what you wish for.

I'd give you a standing ovation if it wasn't for who you have in your avatar.

Napo, you always liked to be a whiny bitch

If I'm given the opportunity to express my opinion I will. This thread was surely made for feedback and questions and I honestly think everything I've said is with the intention of being constructive.

I don't honestly care that much if this is implemented the way the OP outlines. I'm only being so vocal due to it being something I see as detrimental and a great number of people seem to think otherwise while not seemingly criticising it enough.

If that makes me a whiny bitch, so be it.
