> about the vague rules,its the same problem than with the rules of cf, everyone tries to pass trough them with something that they know is wrong(names,etc.). now, if these vague rules were enforced the VIPS would be given the right to do the judgement calls at will, and no bitching about it would have any foundation.
And from a previous post by you (different thread):
> This is actually what i hate about democracy...everyone has to give their opinion, be it stupid as it may be...
Taken together: Ah, the benevolent dictator theory. All us pathetic CFers can do little more than be led around by our noses by the few Chosen Ones, who are wise enough to make judgement calls infallibly for us.
What a load of crap. Yes, the VIPs as a whole do a very nice job. I usually agree with their decisions about deleting posts, and interpreting fourm rules. Usually. If I disagree with them, however, I hardly agree that my "bitching" would lack "any foundation". There are a lot of grey areas right now, and the human VIPs interpret them differently. Read the thread on nightgaunts again, and note the differences expressed by the VIPs. Two thought the topic was fine, one deleted it, and Dioxide takes a neutral stance. And believe it or not, a NVIP like myself actually has a valid opinion on that matter, even if you thnk it is stupid. Feel free to call it stupid, but accept that another person just might see me as insightful, and you as the idiot. Until some Perfect Source of Knowledge shows up, the best policy is just to set consensus guidelines (no threads about Hell, wands, yadda yadda), and let people post what they want, so long as they conform to those clear guidelines. Vague crap like "cheapens the game" only leads to confusion. Unless you assume that I am too stupid to judge what cheapens my own game experience for myself, as you liekly do.
In summary, I'm sorry we stupid people trouble you with our unworthy opinions. Again, I would suggest that you form a special "thormakar-only" web site, where you can use passwords to lock out all the damn morons who trouble you with their "little minds" and "opinions". As a matter of fact, you should email the IMPs of CF to lock out all non-thormakar approved players, so their little minds don't trouble you while you inconsistently roleplay pathetic characters. Damn democracy-loving capitalist IMM-dogs.
