The mods decided that it was required to actually be more stringent with the rules that everyone agreed to when signing up to the website.and why did the mods decide that, i wonder? could it be because roleplayers were doing what roleplayers do best and making drama out of nothing?
That's being responsible and owning what you say.
the rules revisions weren't a random decision made on the fly, they were a reaction to a barrage of complaints
i have seen this kind of ridiculous shit happen in pretty much every rp community ive been part of (and it probably wasnt just me, surely im not that much of an impact on people). someone inevitably works themselves into rectal fission over the idea that they're being picked on, these people gradually form a loud and demanding group, administration goes on a witch hunt and things that were never seen as a problem in the past are suddenly mortal sins
it always happens, it's a fucking farce when it happens and im both amazed and appalled that it keeps happening no matter where i go
when will you people learn???
youre gonna miss me when im gone
The reason, to my knowledge, that the rules were clarified was that the moderation team felt that the environment within the RPC had deteriorated to a point were taking action was felt to be an appropriate step. They are also members of the community, and have a fairly good grasp of the environment they want to promote. Most of them having been here since 1.0.
Yes, the number of complaints received likely went up as the community deteriorated. Which it did. That is a basic causality, and likely to be expected.
Also, to state that 'things that were never seen as a problem in the past are suddenly mortal sins' is a gross error. They were always against the rules, however there was more leniency given in that past. It is now felt that the leniency has been taken advantage of, and the mods are now being more proactive.
Don't like the rules? No one is telling you to stay.
