Added a rule to the Player's Club
- There is an expected level of civility in posting here. Going out of your way to stir up drama and/or otherwise make things unpleasant for everyone may result in getting kicked out of the Player's Club.
A bit of info on the spirit of the rule and background:
The Player's Club is a replacement of the Hut, a space that was only accessible to registered users which had an auto-delete feature. It was used for peanut discussions and shitposting. If a user was particularly problematic they might find themselves "Confined to the Shed" which only allowed them to make hutposts. The hut was difficult to moderate because there was a general sentiment of "it's the hut, the posts will be gone in a few days". That in combination with toxic people being locked there produced an especially unpleasant environment that resulted in people leaving the community. The hut was closed shortly after one of those incidents.
The Player's Club has been an attempt to recapture some of the joys of the hut while also reducing the bad atmosphere that turned users away. The activity requirement is a part of this: there were issues with people who never actually played but would find the time to show up on the forums and stir shit. Being forced to post in the hut was punishment-related, therefore posting in the club is privilege-related. It should strive to be better and have value in its exclusivity.
The Player's Club is about community discussion and commentary. Peanuts are an opportunity to discuss our system and express criticism of the administration or the appellant. They aren't inherently about conflict and they shouldn't turn into knock-down drag-out fights. Engaging in that kind of toxicity or encouraging it isn't good for the people involved and definitely isn't good for the community at-large.
