mods didnt say they were "changing" the rules...
Exactly, instead they were just enforcing "what they think was already the case", so "nothing's changing guys, nothing to see here" is an easy narrative for them to give when they really mean that they aren't changing what they've been doing as opposed to the originally agreed upon praxis.
"No rules are changing" when mods are otherwise not on the same page and all doing different things from each other is fucking sloppy.
Otherwise we have Meta saying stuff like "TC will not win" from figuring this is some sort of game before acting even more emotional... I guess? He can't even take the position seriously, calling it all "a circus" to not have to deal with the weight of this, and even his solution, while it will give us votes, is one he has chosen to take for this to avoid actually having to talk to us beyond mockery.
tc is just trying to revert the dox rules to their original intent..
It'd be reversion if it'd gone away first.
not the rules that all the mods unspokenly agreed on-- which is that everyone just enforces rules based on their own perception of what they are
There'll be polls on it instead of discussing things with users as if they were equals, since polls help it not have to be an actual discussion which makes it easier on them... I guess, but that it took this much to even get this far, and to see some of the staff tantruming over it being brought to the forum?
I mean, can you take this post seriously?
Voting = fascism is what you said
And didn't cain say he wanted it too 🤔
