Yes.
Thanks for your view, but at this time this is what the headmins have decided upon.

Yeah but in a way that turns it into a game of: "who can slip a bug past maintainers to fuck with character setup?". And yeah, it would take some work. I feel that's warranted, considering how different your solution is than what the majority of people voted for in the poll.
And if it were the other way it would still be a game of "who can slip a bug past maintainers to fuck with character setup?". As I've said, its pretty unlikely it'll come up in the 12 months, since generally anything that touches saves is pretty heavily scrutinized, but on the off chance it does the disabling of the config for a relatively short period would mitigate the immediate issue without making a complete shitfuck of work for admins, because at the end of the day the admins don't have to do the work if they don't want to, they're volunteers, and if they told me to go stick my busywork solution up my ass then they'd be within their rights.

You never mentioned purgatory, ahelp/prayers for cat, etc. And what happens to admins who bypass this? Is it like nabski complaint severity or sawrge demotion severity?
I presume by purgatory you meant purrbation. These particular facets haven't been discussed yet, but an admin making a felinid for an event has been and its fine, since its a one round thing. Bypassing the config is taken very seriously and would be a bad time for any admin, in either direction.
I like how when catpeople win by 6 votes, there is no compromise whatsoever. But when removal wins by 60 votes, catpeople don't even fucking get removed. I'm still waiting for the headmins to admit they're biased assholes who have nobody's will in mind but their own. What a fucking embarrassment.
The revelation regarding the mistaken filter came after a course of action had already been decided upon, and regardless it didn't change things severely in my view (the fact was the vote was a 50/50 split, and I dislike the simple majority thinking that suggests that 50.0001% should dictate to the 49.9999%). A compromise was suggested before the new vote was decided upon (disabled on one server, enabled on the other two), which I appreciate some people didn't like, but was still an attempt at compromise.
I think the issue a lot of people get into with this argument is that they seem to think the only stances are "pro-catgirl" or "anti-catgirl" (and I can't even tell which side you think we're "biased" towards), but the fact is I'm not headmin for either side. I'm a headmin for /tg/, which means I have to try and find solutions that make the server fun and engaging for the server's players in general, not one particular lobby. To claim we have no one's will in mind but our own is incredibly insulting, considering we spend huge amounts of our time arguing how things will affect players, administrators, code maintainers and so on and so forth.
I don't expect you to actually change your mind after reading this, it's clear that in your mind we are tainted, but you should at least be aware of how wrong the things you say are.
