Root Beer feedback.

It just feels like there's a double-standard sometimes for example:

Someone asked why c_lout could have a bigger avatar than others and Leeza's response:

He's too lazy to fix his av for it to conform to the allowed standards. Besides, he's an Admin and can do pretty much what he wants.

It just doesn't seem fair, shouldn't the rules count for all, without any exceptions?

They do for the most part. Someone having a bigger avatar is a pretty silly rule to nitpick about and if it really does bother you I suggest that you reevaluate your priorities. The major rules like no porn and no flaming do apply to everyone. Anyway, in this case there is no favortism going on. If Archie had six sig threads going at once I would have merged them all too.

The avatar doesn't bother me, but still. Okay, I just needed some clarification on some things. :cool:

If you feel the rules here are too strict, you are free to either create a feedback thread to discuss the specifics of them in a rational manner, or leave. Be warned, though, the first option would most likely involve a lot of Raistlin.

Depends on who is actually right and if I could annoy the side that's wrong by pointing out who's right. Sometimes (rarely) the Staff readily admits their errors, which takes all the fun out of it.

The rules do apply to all. clout and the other admits merely have the ability to do whatever the hell they want because of their forum permissions. Just like anyone over 8 months or so can edit their own title, but newbies can't. Admins can change their avatar size, but others can't.

Perhaps we shouldn't discuss it at all then, and just let you tell us who is and is not right?

But that's no fun, either, because then I can't be annoying and disruptive.

Of course. I readily admit my error.

I think all signature contest threads in which I lose should be closed.

I'm not at all biased.

Damn you, Del.

Power is meant to be abused. We're just following thousands of years of precedent!

Yeah, I really should get around to abusing my admin powers in some way.

I get sad when all the art threads crowd out the poetry threads, and I wish for the days when they were separate forums, but alas.

You know we tried that in the past eest.

I personally wasn't thinking about you. You grouped your signatures together in each thread you made based on the thread's theme. However, you made several threads, each with a new theme. I was more worried about those who created a new thread just to show off a newly made signature. Yes, while it does create activity for the forum, I don't think there should be more then one thread just for showcasing signatures.

it was better when they were separate.

I want to make a comment on Leeza's reply.

Alright, I can understand that. Perhaps someone can update the guidelines thread limiting one signature showcase thread per member.
