When do the rules matter?

Slabdrill · 2016-10-18 02:33:52

I'm really confused about how the rules on the forum work, because I've experienced some pretty conflicting stuff. Sorry, this is long but it needs fully explained.

I saw a moderator post a thread 15 days ago, which was talking about in-game moderation being bad.

15 days later, Zoey replies to another thread.

PM an in-game mod, please don't make topics about this.

This is weird because I thought complaining about the mods was allowed? Clearly Zoey disagrees.

Basically, I'm really confused because I thought the rules applied to everyone no matter where it happened, but given the whole Zoey2070 thing and now this, I'm starting to wonder if the rules are an inside joke that no one's told me about, and maybe I've been in the wrong the entire time? Do the rules not apply if you're a mod?? Do they not apply if you're friends with administrators?? Do you just have to time your begging right? In which circumstances do they or do they not apply? I'd really like some clarification.

Can I just be a moderator, go online dating with an administrator, and spam as much as I want without getting banned?

Is saying that someone got unbanned unfairly not considered a topic about someone not being banned, seeing as Zoey didn't get a mention for doing this?

I'm so confused and I think the rules need to be clarified in case I'm misunderstanding something or completely overlooked something, in which case, I'm sorry for being completely oblivious about the rules.

if there is a legitimate issue with the staff themselves, we usually let the drama thread do its thing

if its a topic that's basically just an alternative to using /reportabuse or messaging a moderator, then its usually closed

there's not really a cut and dry way to determine which category the drama thread is though so that can definitely lead to confusion. im sorry we have confused you.

You can post a detailed argument about why the staff are bad, not at non-staff individuals (which I believe is the difference)

Report individuals through the /report command or email the staff at [email protected].
