User blog comment:New Dalek Paradigm/Urgent - Regarding a New "Chat Rule"/@comment-4845243-20130402185643/@comment-5322836-20130402190513

Shouldn't they have at least had a fair shot of speaking for themselves? Sure, not all dupes speak logically, but there are some people who like the names of Mods. At least let them talk before you mindlessly ban them.

As for the 'written or unwritten' bit, it's still out there. Just because no one talks about it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I agree that it's not a rule no matter what, but it's recurring.
