User blog comment:New Dalek Paradigm/Here it goes, one more shot at a final retirement/@comment-4964341-20130606130048

(Wiki went into read-only mode when I posted the unedited one, so if this turns out to be a duplicate, I apologize. Delete the one offensive toward NDP if it comes up.)

Chat Rules:

Rule 1.0: Common sense may not work with all people. Some people may find something acceptable that others (namely CMs) would not.

Rule 1.1: I honestly find nothing wrong with bad language. People are coming from the LMBs to here, and they are expecting the people here to be like they are on the MBs. They won't be expecting C*** from AJRAWLEY5700 (sorry, just an example. ).

Rule 1.2: There's nothing wrong with a rule saying that you cannot bully, threaten, or tease someone. I just think that the last may need to actually be enforced more.

Rule 1.3: Sometimes the last part of the rule is forgotten: "If you are referring to the word, you must block all the letters except for the first 1 or 2 letters. If you are using the word in an offensive way (towards someone or something, or just by itself), it is still a serious offense, even if you block the whole word." What does that mean? And I've seen action taken against some people who just referred to the word or quoted someone else who did say the word but received no punishment.

Rule 1.4: I see nothing wrong with the LMBW following the rules of the LMBs. It's what new users expect and already follow, so they'll do fine.

Rule 1.5: I think it is fine that users cannot reveal their face or home address here. However, everyone here gives out their age. Perhaps this part can be removed, because even admins disobey this rule.

Rule 1.6: Makes sense. If it is LEGO, it's allowed. However, I've seen different mods have different opinions. Some say you can link non-Youtube without approval as long as the content is appropriate. That is not the case.

Rule 1.7: We have had a few debates, but those were quickly put down by CMs. I see nothing wrong with this. All they do is tear up chat.

Rule 1.8: I think it is fair to have some general idea of spam. If the CM decides that "Hello" is spam, then that opinion overrides ours and we all get kicked. Obviously no CM will say that, but perhaps there should be some room left for discussion on spam or an example of spam tagged onto the rule.

Rule 1.9: You should respect everybody, not just the chat mods. I am fine with "discuss calmly with them if you disagree" and I am fine with "If a chatmod gives you a warning on chat, stop what you're doing immediately."

Rule 2: This rule seems pretty well-followed, and I understand the reason behind it.

CMs and Admins:

2.0: Makes sense. Don't abuse your power.

2.1: Makes sense. Don't threaten to abuse your power.

2.2: Makes sense. Don't abuse your power by giving someone power.

2.3: Makes sense. Don't abuse your power by taking power unless someone else is abusing power.

Pretty much, BE RESPONSIBLE.

(After reading these rules, I'm wondering if I've really matured or if I've really been stupid enough to break all of them. Because I just agreed with them all (or slightly disagreed, which I pointed out calmly.).)
