Just think about how many times the internet could be a better place if some dickhead mod didn't say "Well TECHNICALLY he didn't do anything WRONG." like social spaces are the text of a Magic: the Gathering card.
No. Throw the guy out.
I have a similar rule on my spaces. I think I stole the wording from authorblues, but my exact wording is
"Rule Zero: Don't make me want to ban you"
Kinda a fun little way to say "I ban whoever I want even if you never broke any real rules"
....Now I just gotta get more into the energy of actually using that rule and not feeling bad about banning assholes lmao, that's the real hard part
and it might be the post i still get the most people thanking me for writing (by which i mean, like, two a year)
but i think nowadays it would be much shorter and clearer. "don't be a dick" is kind of fuzzy and context-sensitive, after all
my current rule zero is don't make the space worse
Thinking a lot about this as I try to make the Terranova server better and friendlier.
