I'm speaking about multiple people and not just yourself. I do say that there is another persons spray that has become a distraction lately. Another admin already doesn't approve of this other persons spray too.

Anyway, Cases Like Quinn's Spray Prove that our Rule system is out of wack. The fact that it's become an issue despite multiple admin's approval is odd. I feel, And Schtol Agrees with me, that when it comes to rules that aren't black and white, there needs to be a guideline. A sort of ruler to decide whether a spray is acceptable. And not the popular but stupid excuse " It looks bad to me." No, I mean Like an actual set of perameters that dictate if a spray is acceptable. Something all admins can and have to go by. It would cause less arguing in the adminship. Another alternative is to drop the " Porn sprays aren't allowed " Rule in place of " Extreme/illegal sprays aren't allowed." Then set Parameters for that. Either way, we can't keep this " It's up to the admin's judgement " Principle because nowaddays it isn't up to the admins, as shown by the incident with Quinn's Spray. The Fact Fire had to intervene means this has gotten way out of hand. This isn't something you can ignore anymore. It's not just with sprays, by the way, all of the rules that aren't black and white fit under this.

Your post, though makes a good point, makes me question whether or not that people will break this rule anyways by posting Porn Sprays in disguised as Borderlines in a style that I like to call "Masquerading". By establishing the idea of the Extreme/illegal Sprays, people will still try to stretch the law by attempting to sneak in the sprays anyway. I would rather approve of a system where any spray that is somewhat sexualized or borderline in any sort of similar fashion should be a target of immediate regoniction.

But, then again, Admins will still be getting up in the middle of the night (most of them live in the United States) to have to come across such a problem. Do you have any idea of what sort of standards are included in this concept system?

Lets not get personal here we don't want a war, but I would agree that rules are built to make the game more fun for players not built to warship without any lenience. I especially think it is not okay to be a Nazi just so you can get brownie points.

Our objective is to not target certain people on their sprays but to consider their examples as proof for what is going on with the current system right now. Jellow and Soviet also have similar feelings.

This looks like it's turning into a flame war among regulars.

Requesting to be locked and trashed.

What Gandolf said. Any personal issues should be resolved in PM. If you feel that there's a problem with the server itself, then feel free to post it here. If there's a problem regarding to regulars or any specific person, feel free to message the admins personally or create a dispute.

Our intention was not to start a war. Apologies. Adam was an example in this case. I wasn't blaming him or anything. It was his Jump of the gun that made it into a " Flame War ". I did not start this thread with Overwatch for it to devolve into this mess. >:L We are trying to make a point and everyone seems to want to pick it apart and argue with us. We are trying to make a valid case but it's difficult under this sudden force. :( And now 2 admins want to shut it down. We don't need this. All we are getting at is an outcry for change. A war was both uneeded and unwanted. And we didn't want it to happen. Again, Sorry.

Any reports that we receive are handled accordingly. We are sorry if someone gets punished for an accident.
If something like that happens, PM an admin or make an appeal and we will handle it as quick as we can.

The admins of DR and all servers try their hardest to keep the servers in check.
Getting reports (even if its constantly) helps clean the servers.

As for sprays, each server has a different perspective on what's not allowed.
If you are unsure, please ask an admin.
