Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-27021824-20180627170536

Greetings everyone.

It has come to my attention that several irrelevant and game threads have been highlighted, and I would like to bring a following rule in order to stop such things from happening again:


 * No more highlighting irrelevant and game threads.

Honestly, the only threads that should be highlighted are wiki changelogs, threads about competitions (like pasta or promotion competition), promotions and some other threads of high importance.

If I remember correctly, bella made a suggestion that would curb or prevent the highlighting of less important threads (like those posted on shitposting/random crap board), but it appears that this new rule has recieved no enforcing. So I proposed some rules that could halt highlightings of these threads. (I still feel bad for highlighting Random Crap 3, though it's highlight was actually meant to be a joke I did out of boredom).


 * The Proposal.



The first time someone highlights such threads will get a warning, but the second time will lead to at least one day of block, and no amount of pleading will spare the rule breaker from being spared. Multiple highlightings of irrelevant threads after a ban can lead to at least one month of a block and a possible demotion.

With that said, these rules shall be applied to everyone. And before this announcement is finished, there is one question to all of you...

Now, this rule is not fully in effect, but I will allow the people to vote so the final decision can be brought to light. The voting will be done with reply due to concerns of possible sockpuppeting.

How to vote:

To vote, make a reply to this thread, choosing one of the following options: Support = supporting the reinforcement of this rule.
 * Support = +1
 * Neutral leaning support = +0.5
 * Neutral = 0
 * Neutral leaning oppose = -0.5
 * Oppose = -1

Oppose = opposing the reinforcement of this rule.

Now, before I finish writing this, there is one question I would like to ask:

Any objections?
