This is just stupid. Every site has rules made to follow. Whether you like them or not doesn't really matter. If you're going to use the site, follow the rules.
General reflection on the topic: You can't always have things the way you want them, and while sometimes coming off as something like an elitist asshole I think Groepaz is doing a great job keeping this site in order, as do the less vocal mods of course.
In general I'd say finding a way to achieve something resembling what you want to do within the scope of the rules is the way to go, instead of just ignoring the rules you don't like because your cause is all too just and important for rules to stand in the way. Work with the mods, not against them, even if they're grumpy - they run the site, not you.
I was never on the US boards
Agreed... Still, they should try to work with their users, not against them! And I definately had this feeling when dealing with Gpz this time...
I was never on the US boards, but from what I've heard I seriously don't want CSDb to adopt such a flamewarring elitist culture...
