[QUOTE="Saracenus, post: 8945007, member: 47839"] See [USER=1]@Morrus[/USER]' post below. The owner of the site has stated what the intent of the + thread policy is and that they will take up corner cases and abuse on a case by case basis. The + threads are not going away and arguing against them is pointless and a non-starter with him. You misunderstand me, I apologize for not being clearer. Not having bright line rules means, for me, that there is no wiggle room for those that like to run up to the edge of a bright line and then claim they technically didn't violate the rules. In essence they are technically correct but completely violate the spirit of the rules as intended. I can't speak for EN World, but in the various social media forums I have run, that kind of behavior is discouraged because I publish the letter of the rules and the spirit of them, both apply at the same time. I do this because I am not going to make a new rule or sub-section of a rule just because someone decides to get cute with me. If you think you are on the borderline, step back and rethink it. The uncertainty you are feeling is a feature, not a bug. Again, see Morrus' post below. If a + thread is being used in an abusive fashion or in violation of the rules, take it to the mods, it's their job to handle it, not yours or mine. And that comes down to the following post from Morrus. He is saying this is the state of play for EN World. Now you got some choices to make. Is this the hill you want to die on is one of them. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
