This is a subject I'm not joking about, so please treat it as such.
It may surprise some users, but I don't enjoy banning users, and I don't enjoy coming onto the site to moderate things when all I really want to do is enjoy the forums or make some chess moves.
This is a rule instated by the admins, and I agree with it. If you don't, that is fine... but please don't change my text because on this subject and some others I really don't care for it.

Listen, it's a simple rule. The admins wrote up the text warning users not to change text, as it might result in a forum ban if they've done so irresponsibly.
I have no problem with the rule, and I'm saying as much.
If you have the desire to change another users text, by all means carry on. Good luck with it, but be responsible.

Originally posted by JusuhNo, that's not a fear of mine at all. This is just a subject where I agree, and I don't want my text tinkered with.
are you afraid I might get banned?

I feel I've said enough on the subject, and will leave it at that. I've got better things to do.

Originally posted by PhlabibitNo, you will be banned if you don't edit the text responsibly and someone is offended enough to alert it. You might edit the text irresponsibly and yet not get banned because nobody cares or notices, or because it's a non-sub who is offended, and they don't have the option to alert posts and may not be aware of the possibility to send feedback. Of course that's no excuse for others to do the same, I am just saying that the wording makes it more likely that they will complain when the rule is not applied all the time. Some people might also think that they don't need to alert these posts because it sounds like they will be removed anyway.
If you don't edit the text responsibly, you WILL be banned.
Let's say XNZ edited something, and the other guy didn't care. No foul. This is no excuse for you to be able to edit what you like just because another user was not banned.

Aren't rules fun?
Edit - Something shortened the quote. It wasn't me. I'm innocent. Really.
