My bad... I didn't think you were serious about that statement. Though I did address it, but evidently not clearly enough:
Quote:3) What is the only thing the RPC would have direct control of to use as a diciplinary measure? Isn't it membership in the RPC and the Board? If we expell someone from the RPC can that stop them from harrasing members in game? If we can't suspend people from the game how isn't telling a GM that can or /blacklisting them not a valid way to control the only thing we can?
We absolutely can control who uses this forum and who is a member of the community by banning them. We have control but not absolute god-like control. I mean those to be questions to think about as to what we can control as being what our focus is on.
You seemed to be saying we have control over nothing.
EDIT: Also I wasn't directly meaning your post on a couple of those just most of what I used was based on your post.
The Ang was because I think Kes and some other seem to feel we should limit membership with the same sort of criteria a guild would trying to make the whole community have the same RP style in effect. I'm saying why worry about small things like that.
The other thing I was trying to say is having a guild deal with some things and using the system SE has in place are vailid ways to deal with big issues.
