You're coming across as roughly 1 and 1/2 of these Ninja. Rules are made to be abided by, not enforced, not broken. If there is something so abhorrent to require moderation we will inform the moderators at the time (Tats, and only the Tats at the moment) of this abhorrent thing that requires moderation. I try to turn a blind eye and ignore this, I don't care for Crossy Road myself (and you clearly don't), but Simmonds was talking about a recent update and even double validated his post with how he hadn't seen this the last time.
Ugh, the above post is wrong on so many levels.
First off, there is no reason why citing the Rules is wrong. They are the standard by which we are to conduct ourselves on this Forum. If the Bible is the standard by which you live your life, then there's nothing wrong with quoting that either. (Also, those specific Bible verses are completely unrelated to the topic, and I don't really see the reasoning behind choosing them. Furthermore, that wasn't Mary Magdalene that those verses were speaking of; it was a depiction of Israel and how they had repeatedly strayed from their God and had become idolaters. It's also rather amusing that you somehow managed to misspell Egypt and Ezekiel in the same comment.)
Secondly, how could someone develop an opinion on gay rights and racism from their holy book if they can't even read said book? Next, if you had looked back, then you would see that he
did in fact contribute to this topic last time it was being discussed. Also, the rules don't say that you can't EVER post in a dead topic. It was told to Kevin32 that he could update his topics with ideas from time to time, for example.(The rules also weren't written that long ago, and it doesn't matter even if they were, because you still have to follow them while using this forum.)
Finally, if rules are meant to be abided by, but not enforced or broken, then how can someone be corrected if they
do break them anyway? They can't, because rules "aren't meant to be enforced". Also, reviving dead threads does require moderation, because it's breaking one of the Cardinal Rules. Looking back, I do notice now that he was reviving this because of a recent update, which I didn't see before. I am at fault there, but my points on rule breaking still stand.
