If you think you're seeing it, flag the post for the mods if you think it breaks board rules and let them sort it out. They've been doing a reasonable job of it lately. There are times in the past when they have been a bit oversensitive, but even with the 5e debate roiling, things are generally calmer and easier to sort out.If you don't want to be accused of it, make sure you include some kind of rationale in your post rather than just fire a shot with a buzz phrase. If you feel 4e feels video-gamey, include your reason why. If you don't think it feels like D&D, include why and make sure it's clear that this is how you feel, not how everyone has to feel. If you feel the math to 3.5 is broken, explain how you come to this conclusion. In all of these cases, not everyone has read your rationales for these things so if you're going to trot out the buzz phrases, explain them or link to a post that does. I would also suggest avoiding too much hyperbole. It's pretty thick around here and it's often running right along the line between acceptable and insulting.And most of all, don't make it or take it personal.</blockquote>
