My point is, the staff is busy with many things. Not just rules issues, and certainly not any given player's pet rules issue. Lately they've barely made any appearances, for any reason, at all in these forums. But of course they do care about rules on this server, and will address issues when they feel it appropriate to do so.

So be patient and wait. Or post a ton ... but just be realistic in your expectations. And that means not expecting staff to drop everything and answer any given player's pet rules question because said player expects an answer then, because things just don't usually work like that here.

Oh and for:

I said nothing of the sort. I've seen you rail against people in other threads about putting words in your mouth, try not to do the same to others.

I'm not putting words into your mouth:

I just can't agree with this. You and I are posting in this thread right now. It's taking us, what, 30-60 seconds to post? How long do you think it takes to look at a post, see if it contains someone saying "durr fuck your guild" or whatever, and click Ban or Suspend User? It would take less time than it takes to write up a single reply that we are doing right now. And when that happens, lets say, 3-5 times, and people start to realize "oh wow they are banning people for trolling" then the trolling stops. It's that simple. Literally 30 seconds a day would fix a lot of this.

I just can't buy into this "lack of free resources" thing. How is it that the players can have infinite free time while the staff is always tied up elsewhere? How long are we going to accept the "staff is busy" argument as a legitimate reason for putting up with trolling, almost no clear rules, the constant breaking of the few actual clear rules?

I will say one thing I agree with in that though: the staff does have limited time, and the players have a lot more. If the staff can find clever ways to offload work onto the players, I think it could lead to improvements here for everyone.
