At best, rules generally dont get enforced equally and at worst they become a disaster that affects the inner workings of what made the site worth visiting in the first place.
And this right here tells me what to expect will happen in the future
> the nice thing about problems that relate to how people feel is that finding the truth is easy. Feelings have no “technically correct.”
