Questions of Dual Legitimacy.


Recommended Posts

The fact that the moderators are now operating under a set of rules which are incongruous to the pinned "Forum rules" topic is a contradiction which needs to be corrected.

Although the new rules have been posted in the announcements section, the official "Forum rules" have yet to be updated, thus creating a problem of dual legitimacy where one could argue away or for certain punishments under two vastly different rule systems. This contradiction of de jure and de facto laws, especially considering the moderators are more likely to behave by the de facto set, creates a cultural peculiarity that may not be apparent to new members, and calls into question the legitimacy of either rule set for all members.

The the old rules in the "Forum rules" topic should either be updated or taken down for the new rules.

This is a very good point. I've taken the liberty of pinning the new thread and unpinning the old thread, at least until an administrator decides whether or not it should be left that way (I don't know if they would want the text explaining the introduction of the newer rules to be present in the pinned thread, or if they'd rather the old thread be updated). Thank you for pointing out this glaring inconsistency.
