While I agree to most of TL's house rules, what I don't agree on is the 4th SC2SEA's "new" house rule, which is "THOU SHALL RESPECT FORUM VETERANS". Why? It promotes elitism and it makes the guys that have posted more posts on this website look more "elite" compared to other users.

Since this IS a carbon copy of the TL's house rules, then that means it currently has the same "definition" of the ones at TL. Unfortunately I can't find the TL house rules page on TL (If someone could link me to the page, I would really appreciate that), but the definition of the rule as far as I can remember is that when a "veteran" does something that you could get banned for, people will just let him off the hook just because he has been around for a while and he has contributed much to the site. But when a new member does it, he doesn't get the same treatment as the veteran does. I know that maybe the way it works on SC2SEA is different (and I sincerely hope so), and I know that things can change, but since the thread has just been posted and the house rules ARE an exact copy of TL's, that means we haven't took the time to "revise" it, to "adapt" it to the community so that it can fit in.

You could apply some common sense here. In context for SC2SEA, "Forum veterans" would be more like our MVPs for example (people with yellow names). They're given this status for a reason; because they have a history of providing good content, good posts and good behaviour. These people are an example of an SC2SEA user who should have auto-respect from new users.

But really, EVERYONE on this site should respect eachother. We're a small community, when there's conflict and disrespect it creates repercussions whether we like it or not. You are allowed to disagree, this is a forum, but don't disrespect the person you disagree with.

Yes, I agree that MVP's and other people (mods, admins, etc) should be respected by other users for what they have done for the website, but what I'm trying to say is that they should be treated the same as other members when it comes to breaking rules and/or receiving bans since, in the definition of that rule in TL, it says that the veterans could just get away from a ban just because they're veterans. Since this rule haven't been tweaked yet to match SC2SEA's community, I was just pointing out on what part of the new house rules that I disagree with.

Hence the second part of my post

And in regards to veterans getting away with bans on TL, IdrA has been banned MANY times. Also, like nirvAnA said none of us vets or coloured names should be exempt from these rules. I would love to see them implemented ASAP so that everyone (regardless of previous indiscretions) can start anew OR simply continue respecting their fellow SC2sea member
