NEW POLICIES FOR 2016 AND BEYOND! (APRIL FOOLS DAY)

Hello my fellow RMNers!

Change is coming to RMN, and while change is never easy, it is sometimes necessary.

As most of you know, kentona has become increasingly busy these past few years between his job and his family and no longer has the time to put into RMN that he used to. That is why he has made the decision to step down as RMN's administrator. Effective immediately, Liberty and I will run the site as co-administrators. ankylo will remain on-board to fix the site when Liberty inevitably breaks it. The moderation staff will remain in place.

I'd like to take this time to discuss some new policies that will be implemented going forward.

1. As most of you are aware, there have been occurrences on the site in the past few months of individuals airing toxic and unwelcome viewpoints on our website. On RMN, harassment and intolerance are not condoned which is why from this day forward all opinions on RMN will be strictly moderated and any opinion the moderation staff finds potential offensive will be deleted. This is to ensure the maximum level of safety and enjoyment for all members of RMN.

2. It has come to our attention that certain users have user avatars that occasionally contain offensive imagery. At RMN, we do not condone offensive imagery which is why effective immediately all avatars will be changed to an image of Anita Sarkeesian as we have determined that this is the safest and least offensive of all avatars.

3. As many of you who have been in the community for several years likely know, there has been some confusion and discussion about the website's name, 'RMN' and its url, www.rpgmaker.net. I am pleased to report that we have finally solved this dilemma. Effectively immediately, RMN will have a new name that better reflects its role and place in the new internet age. 'RMN' will officially be renamed 'SJW' to reflect our growing dedication to promoting social justice across the internet. Our URL will remain the same.

4. As you are aware, in order to maintain order among a user-generated community with many denizens across the web, certain sacrifices of personal freedom and expression must be made by all. I would like to remind you all that supreme social justice overlords administrators Solitayre and Liberty as well as their moderation staff have the final say on whether or not your personal expression should be allowed and that any defiance will not be tolerated. Any disagreement with the administration staff will be grounds for immediate ban without discussion or appeal. You might believe that such a policy is borderline fascist, but we trust you will understand the necessity of strictly curating all internet content is necessary and logical to promote safety and security for all users. Or else.

We thank you for your immediate capitulation to our new site policies. If you have any concerns about the new administration or the direction the site has taken, we invite you to direct these concerns to somebody who gives a crap.

We wish you all a safe and productive game-making year, as long as that game-making adheres strictly to what we find acceptable.

Happy SJWing!

Solitayre

Supreme SJW Administrator of the SJW Network
