A thread I just made in this forum was gassed, presumably by Corpsegrinder because he thought it was illegitimate. The purpose of the thread was to allow me to use the name CorpsegrinderClock. I was using the avenues laid down for me by the rules of our forums to make a point about a problem of interpretation of rule 6. While the moderator in question, presumably Corpsegrinder, may think that the question is illegitimate, the initiatives forum should not be policed in such a manner if we're to have an actual process.
If I can't demonstrate that a rule, or an interpretation of a rule, is stupid through the use of that rule, what kind of dialogue do we really have here?
Therefore, I'd like to add a rule to the charter protecting polls in the initiative forum from the intervention of individual mods on pain of removal from the staff. Without such a rule we do not have a democratic process in which the community participates.
