arguing with tatami is like arguing with a brick wall. the rule was written to show it could and was being expanded, so it fixed an error. if it wasn't needed and didnt fix an error than it wouldnt have been altered in the first place

Krystal is literally arguing my point for me and doesn't even realize it this is great.
i mean personable wise they aren't awful, and that's all that really matters, most of their biggest problems atm is not knowing how to interpret certain rules or w/e or over moderating it, but no one on this team is too insufferable which is a good thing
been saying this for months, my biggest pet peeve on this site is when people bring up lucid into discussions about rule change, the hc rule literally does not need to be moderated the way it is, and until people realize that if it's changed lucid can't do sht because he's not gonna moderate the site himself the rules will continue to be overly enforced, and the site will be annoying to play because literally anything can get u a vio
gee golly jeepers it sure does suck how phil left us with such a vulnerable site; it's doubly unfortunate, however, that every other site on the internet is more vulnerable and thus we can't work around this issue
lmfao this is literally saying what i said, i said the rule changed OVER TIME and you guys modded it different? yes. was the written rule changed to account for the different way it was handled? no. who fixed this error? mangofruit. idk what you arent understanding the way you guys handled the rules changed, but did not change the way it was written SO mango did help fix that. or is this all you trying to justify the hc vio which was not what i was referring to other examples would be hima giving sweet HC for that picture and more idk why youw rote that whole first paragraph about the vio u gave vilden i wasnt even referring to that BUT now youve brought it up it is another example of how the way the rule was modded was altered, but not articulated sorry for spelling/grammer cba
for example, maybe all the threads on the mod forums w/r/t how to do your job as a mod shouldn't be on the one site where abc can delete them whenever he feels like it
google docs have been a thing for over a decade smarten up guys

i have an idea, let's not use words that are borderline offensive and not try to edgily push the boundaries

First off I never-at any point in time-explained WHY I gave Vilden the violation, ie. whether I believed it was how it was modded past or present. Every bit of speculation as to how/why I gave that vio is only that-I have given no statement on it other than that "It was my opinion that Vilden deserved the vio." Implicit in this is my viewpoint that Vilden's post qualified for HC under the definition at the time Note that I am the only one who thinks this presently.
Second, the rule was gradually being expanded over time due to how it was written. We weren't "already narrowing it". Over the course of time it was gradually being expanded in how it was moderated, taking the wording more and more literally. Our rewrite was narrower than it was currently being moderated, in that my viewpoint specified earlier is justified in more cases with how it was moderated at the time than it would be in the rewrite though not necessarily correct (There is no singular "correct").
nah it's not even that, i think the mods are doing a fine job of enforcing the written rules
it's just that the rules were written 3+ years ago and aside from minor tweaks no one's bothered to attempt to address the systemic problems that come from them
or the wildly inefficient and prone to bias ways that gold heart reports are handled
or pretty much anything, because every new admin that gets handed the keys gets told how the last person did it and follows them in lockstep because they're afraid of making waves by actually trying to improve the site
i think it's hard for the admins to crack down on their friends, so if they see their mods are not doing the right thing they dont wannt seem "mean" or "strict" and dont crack down. So if the admin isnt doing anything the next step would be tell the mods, so maybe theyll see if their admin cant administrate or isn't willing to or whatever. butttt what do i know lol
even with phil being phil there are so many things that could be done to help this site run more efficiently and no one really cares to take any initiative; the title of admin at this point has effectively become "head mod" and that's stupid
i'm talking about some argument that mango used on skype w/ devante to prove what i said was synonymous. no one else used it and all i'm saying is i liked the effort
