I am not going to turn this thread into one of pointing fingers and accusations, Arjen. If you would go back and read you would clearly see Chairman and Septimus making posts in the same light, as well as Tiber. There are also some who don't want to post their opinions because they don't want to upset certain individuals.

I'm not really sure if you can classify the few posts that Chairman, Septimus, and Tiber made as "argumentative, heated, discussion" as you so poetically put it. As stated before, we really need the opinions of many more people before we draw the conclusion that a huge change is wanted by all.

Considering the discussions in Discord

Considering this isn't a huge change, if anything it gives people the legal ability to do MORE customization than has been tradition

If we're going by tradition, then tradition - and laws - say Regent should have been permabanned for his actions. Do you want to use tradition as a crutch still?

So, currently we have rather tight restrictions on what each rank is able to do creatively. What if we blend some of the options? What if, as you move up further in the ranks, your creative lisence increases? I don't have strict guidelines in mind at this point. However, this would alleviate the issue at hand I believe.
