To state a more proper piece, I'd like to say this: I believe that other users, staff members or even admins should NOT be the primary source of rules to follow on the server. The rule lists we have are composed of multiple hours of work by several admins and staff members, as well as dozens of cumulative suggestions and critiques made by the community, and I trust that list a hundred times more than an instant message sent by an admin that significantly less thought was put into.

I have no way of knowing if your claim that Dinkleberg said using a voice changer is alright is even true, but if it was, I personally would still be following the aforementioned OFFICIAL rule list, because that same rule list is what ALL moderators, admins, users, donors, me and you are required to follow, and throwing ad-hoc exceptions into that rule list just makes everything more confusing and stressful for both staff and users, as demonstrated here.

The voice changer rule has been enforced for YEARS. There have been dozens and dozens of people gagged, kicked and/or banned for using them just by me personally, and I don't see a very good reason for that to change.

Also, happy 1000 posts to me! I need to spend less time on these forums..
