[QUOTE="Semper, post: 6391, member: 258"] So, I think it's important to foresee consequences if the rule is changed, however, I think your explanation is a bit extreme. First off, I don't think a change to this rule would just pertain to the use of 1 word, and even if it did, the implications of allowing it seem to me to be a lot less toxic then your prediction. A change to this rule would be, yes, partially to allow the n word ending with a, but also to nullify the phrase "baiting racism" and replace it with "instigating harassment." Now, as for my prediction of the consequences of a rule change, it seems to me that sneaK wouldn't have to change the wording much of the first rule. The current wording for rule 1 is: "Be considerate of everyone's experience. Do not verbally attack others, do not be racist, sexist, or say/do things that will cause others to have a bad experience on our servers. Friendly banter is normal, but being abusive is not tolerated." It seems to me that the changes asked for in this rule aren't in its explanation, but in the underlying subtext. If we left the wording to be mostly the same, and if we can accurately predict the influx of new players within the next month or so, and the usual amount of toxicity that occurs on the server on a day-by-day basis, then I don't think that a huge influx of toxicity would arise with them, and the current level of toxicity on the server would, I believe, stabilize and lessen.
