Hello all, it's been quite a while since we last spoke. I began sk around 2000, maybe before, and haven't played seriously now for a couple of years at least. I wanted to commend the sk staff on implementing rules that dictate courteous conduct because that has always been the sole reason for my departure, no matter what new mechanics/rp occur. Thank you for listening. |

Welcome back! Happy to see you back around these parts! There is definitely always a period of adjustment for everyone. PS. Moved this topic to The Pantheon because it's the intended place to comment on game policies now. |

Although sarcasm has not been explicitly called out as against the rules, if Lumiere and ProfessorMomo don't learn how to use it wisely, we may have to expand again pretty quickly. PS. It isn't about this thread in particular. You guys are deliberately making a nuisance of yourselves in every thread you are participating. It's very obvious. Pulling a quote from another thread...

I think the rule you are looking for "Don't be a pill." If you have someone you're constantly have to make rules around, do you really think that adding or refining rules is going to fix the issue? I think getting rid of General Discussion was justified and that the expanded forum conduct policy makes sense. But I'd hate to see you go any further, especially to do something like restrict "sarcasm" because a couple users can't conduct themselves civilly. |

There's nothing wrong with posting to oppose the current rules. Several people have made suggestions for change without the slightest hint of objection from the staff. The staff has even encouraged this by responding to the underlying issues, even if that didn't mean a change in the policy. I would suggest that Dulrik's post is based more on spam. Additional sarcastic posts have no real chance of loosening the policy, so why not try something else? Since you believe the current policy is bad for the game, make your case and suggest an alternative. Personally, I think the current policy is a success. If the policy were being enforced as strictly as the letters permit, I'd be disappointed - but that's clearly not what's happening. We're being asked to trust the immortals to be sensible in their moderation. That strikes me as a reasonable request for an immortal-run game. If anyone has a real beef with the staff, we have an avenue to report it, and it's not the forums. In return for our trust, we get a significantly more welcoming forum, which is no small thing for a social game. |

I remember you Mr.Treefinger, and join in saying welcome back! The new forum format is awesome, and the courtesy rules are great! Kudos to Dulrik and the staff for implementing and maintaining these rules (that really should be common human behaviour)! |
