[QUOTE="Scurvy_Platypus, post: 4365220, member: 43283"] Yeah, I've certainly got no problems with someone doing that. I mean, that's part of the whole joy of posting to the forums in the first place, right? I understand. I do think that Nifft has a point in providing some examples of what "is" and "is not" considered to be edition war fodder, with the additional stipulation that the examples are merely examples and not intended to be a full and complete accounting of all of the possibilities. While I don't happen to fear any kind of stricter mod oversight, I'm also cognizant of the stifling of "free speech" in the form of "Here's a bunch of draconian measures we're taking for your protection. The only people that need to be afraid are those that plan on breaking the rules, and if you've got concerns about it that means you're likely a problem person." I also find people calling "edition war!1!!1" just because someone happens to prefer a different approach to stuff to be ridiculous. And contrasting the approach taken by one system or another doesn't strike me as being much different. There really isn't a good solution, and I do think that riding hard on the "edition war ban" would be a bad thing. I don't know if it's possible (practical) to do a "half ban", so that folks like Nifft could feel free to discuss system stuff/contrasts without having "edition war!1!!11!" screamed at them, but it'd be nice if such a thing were possible ... *sigh* At the end of the day, decisions have to be made and no matter what happens there's going to be some folks disappointed by it. I just figured I'd toss in my vote for the enforced sanity we've had recently. :D I don't think a "permanent" ban would be a good thing (or even possible) for the boards. My hopes for the extension were along the lines of another month, or doing a "half ban" like I mentioned in this post. *shrug* Then again, perhaps the community is just going to have to suck it up and deal with some harsher modding in the short term until folks understand that the lifting of the ban doesn't mean they're free to run riot. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Oh, and by the by... I'm really enjoying the new ENWorld forums. Much smoother, and all kinds of little nice thingies. [/QUOTE]
