I've read almost all that thread from Lelanya's link. What I can see that in US forum there's a clear way to propose and develop an idea before is forwarded to your CM. By discussing it with other players is the most efficient way to clarify it, refine it and have the best result/ proposal possible before taking any furthers steps. I also noticed that CM are interpreting the Rules as they think (I would not go that far to say "as they please"), that there's not a clear guideline as those CM should act, interact. I find this extremely bad. All forums should be governed by the same rules and not by the interpretation of any CM.
*This reminds me another thing which was different interpreted - my signature in Beta and EN forums was similar, yet in EN forum was removed because was considered breaching the rules. Another thing, my posts where I signed Alcie (pet name from Alcaro given by another player and having absolutely nothing in common with my real name) were modified without even having the courtesy to ask before, just because they thought Alcie might come from Alice and ... too long story, but you can see what I mean.
Bottom line, the game's rules shouldn't be allowed to be interpreted by any CM. They should be so clear that no one could have a doubt or think that they might mean more or less or something else than is written.
Big sorry for the off-topic.
