i have a quick question about a topic related to the forums

firstly, does anyone here have a good foundational knowledge of the everybody edits forums rules

i need to know because there is a topic concept that i want to post that from my perspective is probably important enough to warrant creating its own topic in offtopic discussion. but the rules are in a way relatively subjective and i cannot know for sure that the topic (nonforum) will warrant a thread.

i think the main question is that the purpose of the topic is that it needs to seen by as many people as possible as its purpose is to address a concept to a specific person. i understand that based on the topic it would belong to offtopic discussion as opposed to game discussion.

strictly, it does not need to be seen by as many people as possible, it only needs to be seen by one person. however making it seen by as many people as possible i believe will make it more likely to be seen by the person it is addressed to. i understand that generally a better way to send messages to people are to contact them with a private message or direct message whether through the everybody edits website, twitter, aol, discord, the forum pm system, etc, but as of the present time it appears to be not feasible or actualizable to to them send a message with those means.

edit: i realize the topic was somewhat confusing, as the subject of the topic thread that i am posting here says that this topic is a question addressing a topic related to the forums. by this mean i mean that the discussion here is related to the forums, not that the topic i am discussing here within this topic is related to the forums

edit 2: upon rereading of my topic i have noticed a few spelling mistakes and have fixed some of them as of now

▼CONTENT WARNING

The forum rules seem to be enforced with bias and opinion more than concrete text that accounts for all scenarios, so I don't even know if Diff truly understands the forum rules enough to give non-contradicting statements about something. This is largely the case in law today, but real laws in countries usually are a lot more specific and have more defined parameters. This is of course because most are so long that actually understanding every single law to the fullest extent is almost stupid if possible, but most unfair (as in actually going against or not considered under the law) decisions in real law can be attributed to corruption in the enforcers of the laws than the actual laws themselves. With the Everybody Edits forum rules being as vague as they are (at least in my opinion), I'd say even the rules themselves are at fault. The staff can also be its own jury, so many decisions are uncontested, and something does not even have to be against the written rules to be punishable.

I'd suggest to contact a member of forum administration and explain your situation to them.

Re: i have a quick question about a topic related to the forums

significant apologies for the delay

reddit is also not an option.

it could indeed help but i would not know where to post it and i have no confidence that the person i am hoping to address will see it on reddit

i think ive almost decided on just making the topic in offtopic
