Moderators are people too, and sometimes people just forget what they are saying and where. Like I said, I'm not saying you cant discuss anything, and I am not moderating the forum, just mentioning that this IS the rules forum, and thats the forum where people come to discuss the RAW.
I have a ton of house rules, but knowing what the RAW is, is a vital place to start, prior to making the house rule. If I can tell a player, "The RAW says this for this rule. I dont like the way that works, because of x leading to y, so the house rule I use is [spelled out house rule]."
The house rules forum is a great forum, with lots of great stuff and great common sense, but the RAW and common sense are sometimes exclusive, and this forum isnt necessarily about the whys but the hows.
