' Wrote:What's up, he was telling the truth. You try as a group of independents to find other people for your group on this forum, and according to the forum rules, such an act is considered against the rules, thus being "sanctioned" by removing/locking said thread.
Maybe you feel different about that, doesn't mean "your" view is the view of everyone else on it.
But reading your last two posts, I'll put it blunt...
Make a decision for your own, and stop asking others as it sounds that any other opinion as the one you already share is not welcome.
Heck, even warning him in an official act, for posting what he thought on the topic, is quite ridicilous.
But hell who I'm and why I dare to've an opinion...
And ye, back on topic.
If it was such a ludicrous and ridiculous rule, then why is it only now that this is being pointed out and in a thread that I started? If it was so tangibly ridiculous, why not raise the issue before now? I think some people like to use any discussion to ridicule the system in place (clouding issues with other ones) and I think that is what the one-liner post was doing - ridiculing Discovery as faceless and disciplinarian. He may have had an element of truth in it, but not everyone thinks the same. But anyway...
My own opinion is that the policy is unenforceable and, especially now that factions have their own sub forums, ripe for removal unless the rule on one ID per faction was altered to allow more factions to become official. Recruiting is a perk. Official factions get perks. They may not like losing this perk. If more people could access these perks, then possibly more people will benefit from them. Or the perks may become without value, who knows.
That makes a new set of problems (it has and it will), so the question is what are we trading here? What is lost and gained by removing the restriction? Not everyone thinks the same on this.
If it is removed, there would still have to be guidelines (call them rules if you prefer) to prevent forums being spammed or bumped endlessly. My own thinking though is that if someone can attract members, they should be allowed to do so. (A kind of free market).
This is an opportunity for people to suggest new ways to do things and influence decisions before any decision is made.
