This thread is intended to be a serious discussion of GD rules, so I put it here.

I completely understand that there should be a place where people can have serious discussions about the game without being trolled, but I think the rules are a little too strict.

I don’t want this thread to become an “UNBAN ______” thread, or a “Banhammer sucks as a mod” thread, because he is doing what he should by enforcing the rules how they are now. I just think that maybe the rules should be changed a little to not ban someone for making a funny post that might be a slight jab against someone else as long as it is at least relevant to the topic or doesn’t completely derail the thread.

Also, allcaps/boldcaps is a pretty silly reason to ban someone I think. IMO it would be like banning someone for using emoticons in GD.

How it is now, Game Discussion should be renamed to BANZONE: IF YOU ARE A FUNNY OR GOOD POSTER POST HERE TO BE BANNED.

Many of the things people are banned for are petty things that don’t affect the thread as a whole at all. I think that if you are going to ban people for obvious jokes at the expense of someone who takes the internet too seriously in a game about trolling, it gets a little gay.

I think Banhammer said it well with a post about how everyone had to type “I am not easily offended” before coming on the site. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think trolling should be encouraged in Game Discussion, and I think that threads with specific game-related questions should be left alone but come on, sometimes a little blank line spam or not so subtle jabs against people are funny.
