Hello people, in light of recent events, I (and others) believe an update to our discussion rules are warranted, there have been some topics repeated way too much for our liking and often times the old counters for these get ignored for the sake of agenda which feels exhausting given how we spent so much time and energy into establishing those counters to be wrong at a core level and when they are casually overlook and people repeat the same arguments it feels as though all we had accepted was for nothing, this typa repetition generates discussion fatigue, it’s disrespectful and dishonest. More so when certain staff (singular ; you know who you are) are willing to accept poorly rehashed arguments as long as the premise is favorable, who refuse to engage in a debate with the supporters that are defending their side, it becomes nigh necessary to suggest these rules
Does this mean it’s forever cemented and you’re not allowed to challenge it?
Naturally no, this only stays in place to prohibit arguments that are (poorly) rehashed versions of each other, the same god damn lines just paraphrased, it leads to us dropping the same debunks across multiple threads, each Kirin thread brings the same points from both sides, they’re like recap filler episodes with consequences
So to prevent these, My proposal are updates to the following discussion rules :
Credits to @Godernet and co for helping refine and expand on these rule proposals.
Agree : DarkDragonMedeus, KLOL506, Damage3245 (All but Kirin), Planck69 (All but Kirin), LephyrTheRevanchist (All but Kirin), Qawsedf234 (Same as Lephyr) LordTracer (All but Kirin), Nierre (All but Kirin)
Disagree : Damage3245 (Kirin) LordTracer (Kirin)
Neutral : Planck69 (Kirin), LephyrTheRevanchist (Kirin) Nierre (Kirin)

So to prevent these, My proposal are updates to the following discussion rules :
Databook Discussion Rule :
Use caution when proposing content revisions using information from the Naruto Databooks. While accepted as a supplementary canon directly overseen and authorized by Kishimoto & his staff to explain Naruto’s story, it is important to keep in mind that like the manga and many other forms of literature they contain a mix of literal descriptions, figurative expression, and the occasional exaggeration used for dramatic emphasis or stylistic effect. Such literary devices are normal within narrative writing and are not, by themselves, grounds for dismissal. When dealing with hyperbolic phrasing it is paramount to use discretion to separate the explicit information from dramatic texts. Each databook entry should therefore be assessed, (preferably referencing the original language text of the source material to ensure maximum contextual accuracy) ; on a case-by-case basis, weighing its tone, context, and compatibility with canon sources rather than applying a blanket assumption of accuracy or inaccuracy.
Kirin Discussion Rule :
Any attempt to downgrade, reinterpret, or otherwise commit blasphemy against the established light-speed status of Kirin and Light Fang will be met with immediate ridicule, scorn, and potentially a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation. These topics have been dissected more times than Orochimaru’s moral compass, and every possible counterargument has been vaporized with the precision of a Chidori to the face. Re-posting the same “b-b-but lightning speed” nonsense after this point will result in your thread being yeeted into the void, your account being exorcised from the platform, and your chakra network permanently sealed by the nearest bureaucrat.
Continued offenses will lead to temporary bans, permanent bans, shadow bans, brand bans, spirit bans, and ultimately banishment to a remote island where you’ll be forced to explain your scaling logic to seagulls for eternity. Should you persist further, your IP address will be forwarded to your local government, your browsing history will be printed and handed to your grandma, and you (and Damage) will be legally required to apologize to Kishimoto personally.
If, after all of that, you still try to reopen this debate, a team of over-caffeinated thread moderators will descend upon your home like the ANBU at 3 AM, confiscate your router. Any remaining resistance will be met with swift divine judgment, lightning bolts, and a strongly worded email from the universe itself reminding you that Kirin and Light Fang are, and forever shall be, light-speed

Light Fang Discussion Rule :
Just kidding, here’s the real version (I merged Kirin and LF together since both are victims to databook incredulity arguments)
Do not attempt to remove the light-speed ratings of Kirin and Light Fang, given their respective compositions as natural lightning and Storm Release ninjutsu. This topic has been addressed extensively in prior discussions and should not be revisited without the introduction of substantially new evidence or arguments. Both techniques have been explicitly described as moving at the speed of light in the official databooks, this being reaffirmed multiple times in Kirin’s case. Furthermore, Zetsu’s commentary should not be interpreted as contradicting Kirin’s stated light-speed nature, as his observation was a hypothetical inference based on Sasuke’s seeming use of traditional lightning. His analysis within that encounter is generally inconsistent with his own awareness of events as well as the explicit and implicit scaling established by prior statements and feats.
