Currently though the issue has been any discussion of this topic has been hijacked by people who cry out loudly that dissension and disagreement are wrong, and that you should essentially obey, or get out.
Then it all goes downhill from there, the recent thread 'police state thread' is a decent example.
Reform is not bad, people. And not liking a thing is ok.
That's too black and white for what happened in that thread. Â The thread was a pointed example of "Oh, yeah, ok, we should change things". Â Not "OBEY."
However it was also a good example of why you need the Obey marker on the board, somewhere, clearly spelled out.
Because us nerds are The Wurst when it comes to getting into "White man plays devil's advocate in issue that doesn't affect them in any way shape or form" arguments for the dicking of it.
It's a major note seen over and over again in any RP/Game community. It's why the mods are more than a good idea, they're a requirement. Â It also means some people are going to crybitch about it. Â It is literally a battle you should not be approaching as something you need to "win", like I said.
Consistency mixed with critical acceptance works. Â It's working here, and now, as we speak, with that gif rule re-write.
Just as a note, please follow the 30 minutes waiting period. I'd rather not have this thread explode like the other one. If someone doesn't want to say it in 30 minutes, it's probably not worth saying.
(Though I do think this is a good post, I just want to keep consistent)
