User blog comment:Randomized/There's a difference between "enforcing rules" and "having fun"/@comment-4257955-20140105030251

There's a difference between chatting here and chatting elsewhere.

If you want to have fun in a way that breaks rules or goes against what a mod has said, STOP DOING IT AND DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Don't think I'm being rude and asking you to leave the wiki. I'm not. This is applying to everyone. And really, truly, this sort of drama and blog happens when someone feels that they have an entitlement to not comply to what policies are put in place all for the sake of "fun."

Now, nobody is perfect. I've done it, we've all done it, where we've maybe crossed the line (whether drawn in place already by a rule or newly drawn by an active moderator) on chat. It's not something I'm going to flip out about. But when someone asks you to stop with a certain joke or anything that's "fun" on chat because they believe it's breaking a rule, is it that hard to just comply and maybe do whatever fun you were having on a more lenient chat? I mean, really. Why the fuss?

There are some instances where mods do overstep their authority somewhat and squeeze whatever fun was happening on chat. But then again, not all mods are the same. Some are more open to such occurances, some not. They're humans. You have a point, Klint, but your point is not altogether consistently true. So what your joke was trampled on by a mod. Is all of this /really/ worth it? Can't all the mods reading this reevaluate how consistent they are with handling jokes that verge on breaking rules, and can all the users reading this try to actually stop drama and foment some sort of rare sanity here that doesn't involve reprimanding an indiscernably large group of people here to submit to your ideal version of chat?
