White Cells and Faction Permissions

[Zelot]

There have been key changes, Zelot.

First, non-specific white cell/red cell rules were in place. Undoubtedly this was confusing at times. Thus the admins stepped in and said that you could only use generic, faction, and allied tech on any given ship. Neutral, friendly (I believe), etc was all now considered breech of rules.

When this happened, a topic with hundreds of replies was the result. Nearly the entire community (besides Akumabito) was against this strict change, and finally the admins decided that the SRP forum would open.

Since then, the only serious change has been the addition of the tech chart, and the movement from SRP (locked down indefinitely) to faction permissions. Now it appears that, slowly, faction permissions are dying as well.

My point is that when more restrictions were put into effect, the community was violently against it. I'm sure you were there, I'm surprised you don't remember. But now that I'm, in effect, suggesting the restrictions to be relaxed a bit, the community is violently against this suggestion.

The two are complete opposites, hence my 180 comment. What do they have in common though? They both involve change.

You personally don't know what I know or don't know. Don't act like you do.

People like to forget that many many people were in favor of the changes. Why? Because they were brought on by a reason. We were tired of Nomad Blaster Titans and GC, OC, LH, RH Red Cats. Basically the system used to be that people could use whatever hodgepodge of tech they wanted, all they had to do was write a story. Many people found this too lenient. There were many people who supported the changed, but I guess I cant just make up a statistic about it like you can. Wait, I can try. The majority of the community was in favor of the change because there was this thread somewhere years ago where I say people were against it.

Thats how you do it? Right?
