Wow, the official RPG Maker site forum rules are..... wow!

the big issue I have with 'keep politics out of x'-style policies is that they often allow plausibly-deniable forms of bigotry while penalizing people who make note of it or ask for it to stop. it's maybe not entirely accurate to say that there's no such thing as an apolitical discussion, but people are definitely prone to ignoring their own politics when putting that sort of thing in place -- which makes it easy to accuse someone of bringing politics into a discussion when a discussion has been political the entire time.

that said, I have no idea if the moderation is like that in practice -- I'm just speaking from what I've seen of similar policies elsewhere. how the people enforcing it define 'political' is a big part of it, since that umbrella term can often unfairly penalize members of marginalized groups talking about their experiences and so on.

If that's what political discussion is, I don't mind forums that don't endorse feeling sorry for yourself. When you're not on the internet it's mostly not though. Phew!

Acts of Random Kindness Day [GO!]

If we are looking at the past few months, the reason for most of the bad feelings is caused by differing opinions on a couple of subjects.

HarmonQuest - who's watching it?

Gave it a watch. It's pretty good but they really should have guest stars that actually played before, most of the "unexperienced" ones were crap and it kinda ruins the episode.

Post an execution for the person above you!

For the crime of having a weird nickname, you are hereby sentenced to being computerized and stored in the trash bin of a random computer.

The site hasn't burned itself down quite yet, but there are bad feelings all around.

There is? I haven't seen much lately, at least.

I'll do something.

[RMVX ACE] Tell me what you think of these retro style battle backdrops.

House of Horror

I think you can ignore the "game" download.

Searching for a H-game called [MISERY]

I've seen a number of people talking about inflation porn and furry stuff. I don't see the difference between them and this. Don't be a hypocrite.

Admitting Defeat - When A Videogame Breaks Your Spirit

It should probably be the other way around but as I got older I got increasingly impatient with games. If they include grinding for more than a very small percentage of the time, I just can't stand them. What's really weird is that I still enjoy games like DotA...

Could you show an example of a battle, the 2 rows don't really fit together so I'm intrigued as to how it will look.
