I am entitled. As are you. As is every person who plays this server. We're entitled to governance by staff who take their responsibilities seriously enough not to codify half-baked ideas into external rules on a whim with no prior conversation with the community.

Koster touches on this in his article describing the rights of players in virtual worlds.
I don't expect anyone to read that or do anything but dismiss it out of hand, but it's relevant to recent events here, so there it is.

On the subject of being toxic, every jackass who can't stanch his stupidity long enough to resist derailing threads discussing these issues by accusing other players of misdeeds with no evidence, mislabeling people and their motives, propagandizing for change under the pretense of benefiting the community as a whole, or just uselessly spouting the latest witless internet idioms isn't merely toxic to the community—

they are a fucking disease.

I'm sorry, but you aren't entitled to shit. Have fun playing on your FREE server and stfu. Or you can go play live, or make your own server. Until YOU actually have something to do with the development or server maintenance, you take a back seat to what the staff wants to do. If they wanted to enforce a mod where we all had to wear pink hats and dresses, guess what you'll be doing and you'll enjoy it or gtfo. Plain and simple.

TLDR
You're not entitled to anything, you can suggest but you can't demand.
