[quote=@Chai]I personally am no longer willing to play the game of “show me where it says that in the site rules.”

and, see, this is the weird thing that's bothering me.

Why are you following the site rules, and only the site rules, for a [i]discord[/i] server?

Discord is a real-time chatroom service, not an internet forum. Many discord servers, even for official communities, have their own rules tab. In fact, many discord servers often have [i]less[/i] rules than the guild and are able to operate just fine while still being able to filter out unwanted people.

I really think the solution is as simple as "just set up a rules tab in the discord you force people to read before they can access the rest of the server" like... pretty much [i]every[/i] discord handles it.

You can say

and you'd be absolutely correct, considering I pointed out an example case one page back.

I also pointed out how the mods dealt with it perfectly fine given our current set of rules.

If you are having trouble enforcing the discord, just change the way you're enforcing the [u][i]discord[/i][/u]. Make me an argument why the site rules need to change based on just the merits of the site alone.

So far, Yankee's been the only one to make an argument that actually convinced me in any capacity. They argued the merit of adding the rule blanket just so the cases of moderation on-site could not be contested, which is regardless of the situation in discord or not.

The moderators on the guild are good. I don't know how it's like on discord, but if it's such a recurring problem when the [i]site[/i] doesn't seem to have these issues, then I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's not the forum rules that are posing a problem here.
