Not everyone thinks in the same way. I am merely pointing out another view on the matter. I got it as well but i don't just think of myself i analyze on all angles. You are so harsh to judge about the rules instead of viewing it in a different light. Nothing on this site is perfect and we must help find these holes and fix them. What will more people know about role-playing or a poser?
NickG,why are you trying to enforce rules and tell meanings of different defintions.Plus its not your job to say what a mod can or can't do.

No i can't force them but i can give them my opinion. If they refuse to take opinions and views into account there at a loss. This is more then a simple rule change on a word. It's about peoples opinions and their views or lack their of.

Nick, to me it looks like you're just starting an argument for the sake of argument. Anyone with half a clue about computers understands the concept of role playing in an internet situation. This is a disappointing effort at forum trolling. I do wish trolls had more talent these days. Either work on your, what I can barely call in your case, art, or, go off and put your energies into something that is more productive for your life.

We get all types on this site not all of them are internet junkies. I did not start this conversation i merely pointed out a simple distinction in definitions. Its sad that when one puts his view on the rules one thinks hes a troll. Rules should never be set in stone for they must change to keep up with the changing membership.
Or the changing membership can adapt to the rules that have been set in stone.
Let me quote from the "Chatter Rules:"
I understand that this is not a RP (Role Playing) website and the public chatter is NOT for RP purposes. If I RP I will be gagged and the gag will not be removed.
RPing includes claims of impossible feats and accomplishments. Remember there are many moderators who have been pagans, wiccans and students of the occult far longer than you and we know what is possible and we will know when you are lying.
That would appear to offer a great deal of clarity to the situation, and context, of the word roleplaying. This is the definition by which we abide. It is up to the Mods' interpretation of the rules, as outlined, and governed by Pet, as to how it is enforced.
This post will be locked as there is no argument about the matter. The rules are just that: the rules. If you don't like it you don't have to be here.
