And why is this being applied specifically to just us? The link thing I can understand, even though I still hold that this is all a huge misunderstanding stemming from something Pent did years ago, but it is a common, harmless occurrence for close-knit roleplay communities to chat harmlessly when the thread is not in use. The conversations are not shitposting, which we don't permit, and they don't hurt anyone. We also do not permit thread derailment when an issue is being discussed, so it's not like this isn't being used for its real purpose, either.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistA problem for who, exactly? General discussion, no links involved, has not been a problem apart from players that used it as an excusd to shitpost, and they have been told to leave. And if it has been a problem for any of our players, then they could have easily told me instead of going straight to the last resort.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistLike what Spaz said its common for close knit R Ps to natter when the threads real use isn't needed. Its how they stay close knit and how the players become friends, and more than just guys who RP together. I've talked to Daltar and we didn't do anything wrong.
Additionally if its so much of a problem, you would have to place this same restriction across the whole subforum, which I don't believe you have the authority to do.
Also Rule Six
It Does not forbid natter, but rather asks the players to keep discussion in the discussion thread. Roleplaying in the Roleplaying thread etc.

PM box is Closed, Indefinitely Friend Code: 3368-4181-6850A problem for who? For Irene, who is just as guilty of all of it? Or a problem for any of the friends that we have here, that have talked without incident about things in general? We do not tolerate shitposting. We will abide by the no linkage rule. But you cannot shut us down just for chatting with absolutely no incident when the entire RP subforum does it as well, and does it just as calmly as we do.
Also, we don't permit that. We've kicked players out for roleplaying in the discussion thread as well. Was wondering where that rule came from, but it turns out it's just a familiar one that we follow anyway.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistThen why are all your efforts on what can be described as a grey area at best concentrated on this one game? We have not hurt anything. The last thing that probably needed moderation was well over a year ago, and we solved it without it. Also that one weird neo-Nazi guy, but we hollered him. The thing with Irene was absolutely ridiculous on every conceivable level, and did not need mod intervention. Everything has been good here. We've been having fun. We've been following the rules, and any rules broken were not done with malicious intent. Any rules we have been warned about have not needed a second warning (and this incident does not count, as we were still following them). You are not in this RP. I think you were at one point, and you are welcome to rejoin, but the assumptions you are making about this community imply a rather low opinion of us, and I can only assume you would care about this one thread that was left relatively to its own devices through some weird personal grudge, possibly involving the genderflipped thread and Shmotor's possible attempts at grooming. This may not be the case, and I apologise for assuming so if it is, but honestly I have no other explanation for why you are doing this.
This thread has been our home for four years. While we did hit a rough patch, it has been more than resolved, and we are even on good terms with the people involved in it to this day. This thread has done no better or worse than any other discussion thread in the roleplay discussion subforum.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistBeat. We have done nothing wrong. Continuing this discussion would only be a horrible derail of what this thread is supposed to be. We only want to have a little fun R Ping and talk with some friends we made over the internet. Please leave us be.
PM box is Closed, Indefinitely Friend Code: 3368-4181-6850We don't believe that's your intention. I don't, at least. But we don't want our conversation here heavily restricted to such a degree.
We'll make "No linking other threads to mock other people" a rule here now, and we'll enforce it, but we do want to keep being able to casually chat with each other as friends here, and we ask that you don't restrict that.
Did I? I meant G La DOS. Did Aigis go all fleshy at one point, too?
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon Alchemist@Daltar: Late to the punch, but thanks for clarifying.
I'm sitting in two sweaters.
In my room, 14.5 Celsius degrees. I'm supposed to study Japanese there.
Is great fun, lemme tell ya.
@Aigis: She indeed did. She also had this golden stuff in her side back when Vi patched her up. Were good times.

Is general discussion pertaining to video games/meatspace/whatever permitted?
