@tMuse @Opera_Phantom @`Feeler` @Memento Mori @IthicaHawk just giving a tagged response so i dont have to respond to each individually since many of the responses are the same

Just a few things. First of all, I'm not on HO anymore, saying "you" in regards to this when I had no decision in this matter is pretty unfair.

Just to be clear. I am, in no way, blaming or suggesting this is the fault of any individual or group of people. When I use 'you' in my previous post I am using the 'royal you' in an abstracted sense.

Lastly, everyone seems to hate rules with ambiguity and HO discretion. Thats how things very often NEED to be. You cant possibly forsee every possible outcome, setting yourself up with limiting guidelines.

I fully agree here. Rules with ambiguity and HO discretion are required and writing guidelines for every outcome is a non-starter. The issue I was raising is purely that there exists an *unambiguous* rule that has *no HO discretion*. It is being treated as an ambiguous rule *with* HO discretion. There is a disrepancy here. I fully support HO discretion and their decision in this. I just believe that writing a hard rule and then not applying it in any and all circumstances is a recipe for disention.
