I'm not one to have writer's block when it comes to responding in threads such as this, but what else is there to say that hasn't been said.
This community has a people problem. Certain people manipulate rules or events because they must win, grief bases without RP, troll threads so that real discussion is impossible, or are unable to communicate with the other side or listen so that false perceptions and assumptions can be changed to understanding. Community leaders that don't have a yellow or green name that try, or have tried, to have discussions are constantly drowned out by toxic pukes that have nothing better to do than stir the pot.
The rules as they stand are decent, believe it or not. There's adjustments needing made for sure. With the patch coming I'm sure some rules must be changed to keep up with the mechanics of the mod. But until a certain segment of this community wakes up, grows up, or moves along, there is no change that can fix this community.
It ain't about what you are capable of, it's about what you're willing to do.
