I'm pretty sure that's a form of violation toward freedom of speech but since this isn't a US only forum that goes out the window or whatever.

Overused memes ftw.

Yeah, I've grown tired of it. Fuck Niitris has a better ring to is anyway.

The only thing this conversation reminded me about so far is that the mods are willing to create even more guideline rules just because of one person who did something like that years ago.

I'm honestly starting to think that this has more to do with JZ than whatever happened in the thread itself (And don't bring that "he's not that important/ we don't aim at him/ he's just one more user" excuse, we all know that's not true, especially for some of the staff and ex staff). The issue died so fast it didn't really need something like this thread. If it's a rule you all kept in mind since forever then why even talk about it?

Do you think the one or two people who would do this will stop just because you told them to? If anything it makes them want to do it even more.

Koopakoot, someone calling out JZ with malicious intents after he 'cleans' his readmes is a different scenario. That'd be standard thread derailment and we would split/delete/give a warning or whatever in said scenario.

The difference is that when he willingly releases anything with his fuck yous attached he's throwing the first jab. Don't want people to reply to, or inquire about your ramblings? don't make them public then!
