I believe the real question is "does Random Chat have a purpose?"

:D |
Sure. It's where you discuss anything that doesn't relate to DDR (or video games or images or blah blah yeah i know). |

I thougth word games were not allowed on Random Chat yet that 1 word story game has expanded to 11 pages as of right now.
I usually just not read the threads, but it is odd that a policy that was enforced in the past is not enforce now... or has it really become a policy of the past? |

An introduction thread is just to put all of the new player's introductions into one place. When there's an epidemic of "hey guys, listen to what song I'm listening to" threads, it's worth reconsidering. But right now, there's a bunch of these 50+ page threads that serve absolutely no purpose other than to pad peoples postcounts. If postwhoring isn't allowed, it's not allowed. But if you're going to allow it here, you've got to allow it everywhere. It's only fair. |

Operation of a gun is illegal in my city (I suppose, could be wrong). Yet there's a rifle range and shooting club.
If gun discharge isn't allowed, it's not allowed. But if you're going to allow it here, you've got to allow it everywhere. It's only fair.
A dramatic rewording, I know, but I kinda think of it as "disaster mitigation". Different areas of the forums carry different flavors to them. I'm stricter on the rules in most of my areas because they're more informational and discussion-oriented than "fun" and "boredom relief".
People are going to break the rules no matter what, and rather than always punishing them for it, I think it's better than we just have a more relaxed place where they can communicate (more or less) the way they want. If it doesn't bother anyone else, then it's fine, and I think in RC (again, I don't go there), the aim is more to stop flagrant abuses than anything. Like a thread titled "I just stubbed my toe!". Who gives a damn?

That's the thread that crossed the line. I could deal with the other threads. I even liked the one word story game for a little bit (of course only slightly). Now there's just too many. |

Perhaps you were confused by that other thread, but this isn't supposed to be a report thread.
