I promised some time ago to never ever again get involved in the vacation system debate.
My suggestion is that RHP "filter" the word "vacation" so that it can never appear in a thread.
I won't go into my reasons other than to say it is very frustrating to have this discussion keep coming up again and again and go nowhere.

But why is there so many vacation threads in the first place?
Is it because people think that the matter is not discussed to it's end?
Because people are concerned about the vacation system?
Because people has misunderstood the idea about it?
Because people find players 'abusing' it and use it for 'cheating'?
Because people is unhappy about the way the vacation system is implemented?
Because people want another vacation system or want to get rid of the vacation system altogether?
I think the number of threads about the vacation system is a symptom of a problem, not a problem in itself. We can remedy the symptoms by banning the very word 'v*cation', but this is not within our proud tradition of democracy here at RHP. We should be able to discuss things open, certainly when people find it as a problem.
Nota bene that I'm not saying anything about our present vacation system, only the discussion about the vacation system. We find a intensive disussion about it because people want to discuss it. Do we really stop the discussion? This is the bottom line.

Just because you two don't want vacations or people moving during a vacation and are very vocal about it doesn't make all threads about vacation time the same as the ones you participate in.
The vote is still up, and still open. Most people at RHP voted FOR a vacation system. Just because you read a lot of posts in the forum complaining, that doesn't mean a majority of users at RHP have a problem with vacation. Those who complain are always the loudest on a subject, not the majority.

My point is that - if people want to discuss the vacation system with this degree of agitation, then there has to be a reason to do so. To ban the discussions about various vacation systems and alteration about the present one is not a good way to follow to make RHP better than it already is. That's my point, and only that in this thread.
Again - I'm not discussing the vacation system in this thread. But perhaps in another thread if you give me enough reason.

Originally posted by Phlabibityou are absolutely right. i cannot contest what you are saying because i earlier promised everyone to stop commenting on the unmentionable topic. since this thread is now about knitting needles being banned from RHP, i am unable to contest what you are saying. if on the other hand, this thread were about something else, you know, something unmentionable, then there would be no contest, as what you are saying is really nothing. hence, i cannot contest what you are saying, regardless, or irregardless, depending on our political views.
You regret it because you cant contest what I'm saying.
