- annadane 6y agoYes, but it's also clear that there's something very funny going on here, rules be damned
- packthetop 6y agoCopy+pasting the rules is even more boring, just move on
- raunakdag 6y agoI feel like there's a relevant XKCD here about the irrelevance of commenting on irrelevance but I'm struggling to remember which.
- hyperdimension 6y agoWell, it's not all that relevant to the conversation at hand, anyway... :)
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoI actually think it's good to have the community enforce/explain our standards from time to time, within reason. Dang can't see everything, and where he does it takes time to respond. Downvoting/flagging works too, but some may legitimately not know that they've broken a guideline.
