    The Unexplored Summon:// Blood Sign Clarifications for the Summoners

    I have no input to provide on the CRT itself, but I don't understand why this was closed and applied so quickly. Our rules still dictate a 48 hour grace period for anything other than self-evident revisions, which doesn't seem to be the case here. Nothing needs to be reverted, but it should at...

    Proposal for Site/Forum Image Standards Revision

    I am very busy at the moment, and I have been for some time. But I recognise I have been called to give input on the discussion, that the discussion has progressed quite a bit, and that my thoughts are to be expected. I will make time to read through what has been said and provide my thoughts...

    Guilty Gear Scaling Revision (Part 8): Miscellaneous AP Revisions + Some Abilities

    I would think so, yes. The quote implies not having an ID makes the entity the same across all parallel universes.
  7. DarkGrath

    Guilty Gear Scaling Revision (Part 8): Miscellaneous AP Revisions + Some Abilities

    Yeah, this makes sense. I have no issue with Type 3 Acausality, then. I would recommend just updating the sandbox to add a justification/link to that particular quote for the Acausality section - something along the lines of "As Demihumans do not have IDs like other living entities, their...

    Guilty Gear Scaling Revision (Part 8): Miscellaneous AP Revisions + Some Abilities

    Much love to you too, for all your hard work while I've been busy. Could you quote exactly when this Happy Chaos quote occurs, and which part of the wiki page you're referring to? Just for referencing sake. This doesn't ultimately sound like Omnipresence to me, whether spatial or temporal. I...

    Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

    I've mentioned before that our rules on proxying are loose and should probably be specified further for cases like these. But that's a topic for another time, not the RVRT. For now, I think it's fine to just say directly copy-pasting from a banned member shouldn't be allowed - since it has the...

    Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

    I mentioned this off-site, but I'll briefly mention it here since it's still on the topic and I know it confused a few people. Mad Dog of Fujiwara was able to post on her message wall due to the block parameters I set up when I put it down. Specifically, I never ticked the side option that...

    Guilty Gear Scaling Revision (Part 8): Miscellaneous AP Revisions + Some Abilities

    This is mostly fine, but the Omnipresent rating for the Nightless is a bit questionable. The source says that they are "dwellers of infinite timelines", but this doesn't necessarily imply their forms encapsulate the entirety of these timelines - just that they exist in each of them.

    Guilty Gear Scaling Revision (Part 7): A New Set of God Tiers

    I've been asked to provide input here. I think a "Likely Low 1-C" would have been more suitable to clean up the rough edges and ambiguities that have been brought up thus far with the scaling. But I'd rather not be a pedant over what is a decent enough justification overall. I wouldn't oppose a...

    Caption Every Staff Member's Profile Pictures

    An idea I had that I briefly discussed off-site. Send your funniest captions for staff member's profile pictures. Play around with the idea, and whatever the profile picture makes you think of. It doesn't have to be a staff member's PFP, but distinctiveness gets points (according to me, the...

    Touhou Discussion Thread 3 ⌈Eternal Fantasy Edition⌋

    By that guideline, it should be fine. It would be hard to imagine even strictly enforcing such a concept - generally speaking, CRTs are built on publicly accessible information provided in any given verse. Preventing people from using information provided by banned users in CRTs would be...

    Touhou Discussion Thread 3 ⌈Eternal Fantasy Edition⌋

    Our rules do specifically disallow sockpuppeting and account sharing, but they aren't so specific on proxying - i.e.: still having an independent account but directly using a banned user's statements in your own. I believe past cases of similar issues have largely been handled by rough...

    When I first saw multiple members in a short sequence with Butler's PFP, I was wondering if it was an error on my browser.

    Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

    Hello. Synnian contacted me off-site regarding an appeal to his ban, which I'm aware was brought up as a topic in this thread yesterday. The evidence on the matter has been discussed privately among a few administrators. This is an announcement to say the original accusations have been cleared...

    Proposal for Site/Forum Image Standards Revision

    I'll note that the proposal doesn't make this form of separation between what is allowable on the forum and what is allowable on-site. But with a detailed justification, I would at least hear out a suggestion for an addendum to the proposal along these lines.

    Proposal for Site/Forum Image Standards Revision

    This is decidedly not true. Two images showing the exact same amount of skin - in this case, a depiction of someone in a dress with an underboob - can be taken as drastically more or less sexual depending on the other elements that constitute the image and the context of the image. Framing our...

    Proposal for Site/Forum Image Standards Revision

    I've largely explained why I do not think this is accurate. Beyond the practical concerns I raised (which is still relevant to our framing of the rules), there is a more directly pertinent point. Two things can be very similar in their surface-level content, but interpreted very differently by...

    Fair enough. This all looks good to me.

    Guilty Gear Scaling Revision (Part 5): Scaling to Dragon Install Sol + A Low 1-C Thing I Forgot

    Looks good for the most part. Though I'd like to ask - considering that both of them get scaling via the bullets fired by Happy Chaos, why is Chipp listed as "At least Continent level, possibly Dwarf Star level to Small Star level" while Anji is listed as "At least Continent level, possibly far...

    Proposal for Site/Forum Image Standards Revision

    Most certainly not. Return to the meaning of 'primary intention' here, and how it connects to the underlying definition. The main function that an image or video of a character being depicted in artistic work has is to contribute to the artistic work. If you're arguing that the primary intention...

    @Twisted_Little_Raven I think you know that comment was not appropriate nor helpful for resolving this matter. Please refrain.

    Guilty Gear Scaling Revision (Part 4): The God Tiers

    I'm not available to do so at this moment, but I could apply the contents of the blog for you later if you would be content with that. I'd be willing to approve that, and I think changing a "likely higher" speed rating to "likely far higher" for this justification would fall under a minor...

    Guilty Gear Scaling Revision (Part 4): The God Tiers

    I would recommend applying the non-Immeasurable speed parts and leaving the discussion on Immeasurable speed for later. At least, if you are up to it. There's more than substantial enough agreement for everything else, and it seems unlikely a clear consensus will be reached on Immeasurable...

    [One More Mod Vote needed] Addition To A Lack Of Acrobatics In Kamen Rider Black Sun And Kamen Rider Shadow Moon

    Most of what has been mentioned in the OP isn't really acrobatics, but I'm fairly certain this in particular qualifies as acrobatics due to the details on surface running on the acrobatics page. But the quotes used to say these other characters should also be capable of the same feats are a bit...

    VSBW is down?

    As far as I can tell, no one knows what has happened yet. One of the other admins has stated they are attempting to contact FANDOM to get to the bottom of it. Stay patient, and we'll have this fixed ASAP. EDIT: It's back up. We're not free of the shackles today, I'm afraid.
  38. DarkGrath

    Guilty Gear Scaling Revision (Part 4): The God Tiers

    I've been asked to reply here. The Low 1-C matter is completely fine. The Immeasurable speed concerns brought up are unfortunately not concerns I'm not well-versed in; if there are particular precedents around what levels of evidence can or cannot be accepted, I don't know what they are. I can...

    Should We Make Profiles For The Divine Comedy?

    You may recall that my post above was, in large part, about this point. We acknowledge in our rules already that pages for real-world religions are banned because they would be offensive to the people who practice those religions. And I don't think any of us are suggesting we change this rule...

    Should We Make Profiles For The Divine Comedy?
