[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 2701363, member: 141"] I think we have to try to show more respect for each other, and for WotC employees. Even (especially?) the Sage and the Customer Service Representatives. Even when we are convinced that they are [insert bad adjectives] there is no need, imho, to vent all over the place. This would apply too to people who use the different rules resources in different ways. If someone asks a rules question, but says they don't use Cust Serv, well, a response shouldn't be to insist that they use Cust Serv. Oftentimes a Cust Serv answer can be "repackaged" and backed up using sources that the OP regards as authoritative. No need to blast them for using rules resources in the "wrong" way. I think it is well worth the extra time for us to try to be a little more courteous to others. Incidentally, what do people think of starting our own FAQ? It could be frequently asked questions (topics that keep coming up in the forum) and it could also be a commentary on the official FAQ and cust serv answers, pointing out areas that are problematic (like the varying hit points of the bastard sword, or the sonic hardness issue). I think it would help people who don't trust the current FAQ and cust serv answers. It might mildly suggest rulings on these issues and others that are regarded as contentious. We would probably have to nominate people to serve as the maintainers of the document. Folks like Hypersmurf would be involved (I hope!). If people are interested in such things, that is. But since many incredibly rules savvy people already post on all kinds of rules questions, I think it possible that they might be willing to maintain a Rules FAQ based on EN World. It would also be a nice way of addressing the question currently preoccupying this thread, since the Enworld rules FAQ would be a FAQ that does not and could not issue errata. The most it could do would be to suggest rulings to DMs. [/QUOTE]
