Is sending a message to you in a thread that you were currently reading not enough? Besides, PMs are pretty impersonal, it's like a letter. Telling them more in person in a thread is much more upfront. Also if I'm not mistaken this very thread calls for you to make threads and tell us about stuff.
I really don't remember anyone asking for that. If you really want anything to be guaranteed to be considered either make a new thread about it or pm one of us. Edit: The standards are already as low as they can be if you ask me considering it's pretty much legal unless you're being a colossal asshole about it in which case it's considered spam and you get warned. Whatever, just as an advice, a few well thought out suggestions are more likely to get passed than a bunch of ones you came up with on a whim.
Mild shouldn't give a punishment, and I don't personally think that extreme should either, but I wouldn't really be opposed to 1 point. Yes, this is good. I like this. Yes, god yes. Indeed. I have no comment on this. Ronald's proposal to this is superior. Especially since it was only locked because of Stalin's failtroll. This Indeed. This gives the mods the power to inject their own personal bias into thing. This is relevant to my interests. If there is room for reasonable doubt. I will say that the mods handle these things in a professional and cordial way. If this situation is handled in the same way as any other rule break instead of an instead ban, I don't see the problem. Meh, I think it works well as is.
I think the Appeals System is working because we've never really had a serious trial or anything. I mean sure Che got a 2 week ban and I got banned for 3 days, but those are the only bans, to my knowledge, that actually happened. I wasn't going to go through the effort of appealing for 3 days, especially with no case, and no one was going to back up Che anyway. Also, how to deal with Malicious Content really depends. I mean if someone like Demondaze posts Malicious Content, it's probably not because he wants to kill us all. If some user we've never seen before does, then it's because he wants to give us a virus or something.
Why? The hate speech clause is there to prevent obvious trolling, or incredibly offensive nonsense. So far as I know there's no huge demand for more racism on the forums. Piracy is a legal issue, not just a site rules issue. Why? If you are warned you have disobeyed the rules. It's extremely easy to not disobey the rules. lolno. Stalin can already kick someone who's abusive out of power. Other than that you need to live with the consequences. And really, we mods are sensible people too, so if someone is proposing ridiculous legislation then they will not get our support. No. The point of the tribunes is to serve as your means of affecting the site rules. You have to abide by certain principles and be and upstanding member of the community to be a tribune; mob rule has no such qualification. Whatever, don't really care either way on this. Already have proposal in action. Just waiting on Stalin's approval since he's the one who authored the original rule. Don't really care about this. Look at what Ronald said. Necroposting is only an offense if it's overt spam. Adding something to the discussion isn't against the rules. Like what, exactly? And why? This is for extreme scenarios, where people have a malicious intent and no plan to be nice. Also for spambots. What does that even mean? An insult is only as powerful as how hard the person takes it. Currently we don't warn people for insults unless it's been reported. Makes more sense than just letting X slide because it doesn't seem that offensive to you. Why would you post a link if you haven't been there yourself? And this is why the appeals system exists. The appeals system works very well as it stands.
The only thing I would add the Kali's above post (I agree entirely btw) is that Stalin locked the impeachment thread and Stalin is law. We cannot overrule it.
l'etat c'est vous (they are the state) if my opinion matters at all i have no problem with how things are run now. things seem to be working smoothly so why should we start changing everything.
You seem to forget that these were elected by us and so already have the trust of the people. I know I certainly trust our honored tribunes to uphold our rights and to build a better future.
