Very good write up Xoria (post 1), Fellow Hoodlum (post 3), and Virus (post 11).
No matter what you do or say, for every action or reaction, there are those called the 10%'s
They yell, they scream, but sometimes the 90% change or make new rules to get them to leave the 90% in peace.
Sometimes is is easer to put more powder in the shell than grease on the wheel.
The addition of more rules and/or regulatory agents in this day and age is the only way modern internet society may attempt to contain those ten percenters. We no longer live in the age of chiverly, common sense, fairplay, and good sportsmanship. An age that even the bad guys knew there were some rules of life that applied to them. There are many of us (and I hope that I am one of them), that could sit down and play any RP or other game(s) with just the simplest of rules to set the parameters of the game. If one should slip, a wisper or pm, an apology given, and continue the game. Now days this is called a Fairy Tale.
It dosen't matter, young player, old player, brand new to Disco, or the oldest Disco player on record, somewhere in there is the Ten percenters that have never read the rules or feel that the the rules do not apply to them...and sometimes...one of the ninty percenters gets a wild hair. It is because of this we need the rules to maintain a RP server that we must have a group of dedicated moderators (ADMINS) to enforce them. I wish to thank them for their time and stamina to do this.
So, to get rid of the rules we have to go back to being individually responsible again.
