Love APC.)

@sTs  
Ugh like we really need one of these

@Background Pony #F554  
At least show some interested in it, I don’t want any negative backlash on it.

@sTs  
And yet you made that poll

@Background Pony #F554  
I just want to try it out.

@sTs  
I get making it was pretty much inevitable, but you’re kidding yourself if you think there’ll be no backlash or flamewars

@Background Pony #F554  
On account of rule 0?
 
And trying out new things, never hurt anybody else.

@sTs  
On account of the subject matter

@Background Pony #F554  
You’re allowed to choose Sunset shimmer, I don’t any trouble with it.

@sTs  
You’ve basically open up Pandora’s Box. Like people no matter what you say or want, WILL argue over this. You’ll have the people that will try to spam one option or another, there will be the people who will take the poll as absolute confirmation of their own personal biases, others who will argue completely against it for various reasons but also to keep their own opinion valid. You’ve basically let people have a way of saying “Ha you’re opinion is wrong!” and the endless back and forth with that

Damn, didn’t know this thread existed. Finally a reason to visit the forums.

@sTs  
Like I don’t know if you recall this or not but there was a similar poll on EQD and both sides when to hack the poll in order for their side to win and the winner was only decided because of a time limit and yet people still took to claiming their side had won or was right even though all evidence pointed to tampering because that wasn’t the point they cared about, it was about them winning

@Background Pony #F554  
Then a mod will have to in involved.

@Background Pony #F554  
Can you please stop, I don’t want to hear this, last chance or I’ll have you reported for not listening.

@sTs  
That doesn’t break the rules though, not if they are able to word it carefully or explain themselves well enough. Disagreement and arguing and flamewars (in and of themselves anyways) are not against the rules, it’s insulting and bullying that is, but there’s a line between heated debate and that. Like right now, they would not consider this Rule 0 violations, at least technically anyways. You can brag and boast all you want and so long as you don’t go after someone directly, you’re in the clear.
