The rule for thread titles has always been loosely enforced, and like Loach, I also intend to continue to enforce it loosely and on a case by case basis.
I have never said anything to you about it because I haven’t seen it as a problem yet. Sure, some of your titles could stand to be a bit more descriptive, but in general, as others have already pointed out, even though they are a bit vague, you have been around long enough that most people know what to expect with your threads.
It’s like the MMP in that respect. The title isn’t descriptive, but it doesn’t need to be. If you participate in MPSIMS you know what to expect from the thread already.
Many rules are enforced differently in different forums. I guess we should just remove all of the rules then, eh?
Similarly, police don’t usually immediately pull you over for going 1 mph over the speed limit. I guess speed limits should be completely abolished?
I would prefer to moderate based on common sense rather than silly hyperbole.
Death announcements belong in MPSIMS as well, even though they also are neither mundane nor pointless. There’s a lot of stuff that falls under MPSIMS, and while most of it is just fun stuff, some of it can be much more serious. That’s why the forum description is " from frivolous chatter to deep thoughts; from harmless diversions to life-changing announcements".
MPSIMS doesn’t have to only be for fun stuff. It’s just evolved so that most of the stuff there is the fun stuff.
As for Beck’s posts, they are in the “fun stuff” group. They are supposed to be fun. Singling out Beck because you don’t like her posting style is definitely not fun and definitely not what MPSIMS is supposed to be about. If her posting style bothers anyone that much, take it to the Pit.
