Is it against the rules to discuss the rules?

"Discussion topics relating to Democratic Underground policies, procedures, enforcement, etc., are sometimes permitted if they are respectful and not disruptive to the administration of the website."

I'm just asking.

2. Wait a while.

3. No

sometimes a discussion can be respectful and constructive-for example, when people ask for a certain group to be formed, and give reasons why. Any specific questions, such as why a thread was locked or a post was deleted, are best directed to Administration.

5. or contact a forum mod directly through PM n/t

6. That would be a private discussion.

I meant 'publicly dicsuss', but perhaps that was not obvious.

8. often contacting a mod about questions is much faster than trying

to contact the admins is all I was suggesting

17. I actually wanted to discuss the issue.

I don't know if it is a good idea or not. Anyhow I rephrased it as a non rule discussion.

7. Really??? Are you sure???

I've been here a number of years and the rules have seemed very consistent, fair and understandable to me. I don't remember being confused even during my first few visits here. But then, I have always had good reading comprehesion skills.

13. Smoking gun???

It looks like to me they were requiring you to follow the same rule that has been in place ever since i've been here.

But then, as i said earlier, my reading comprehension skills have always been good.
