Really, half of the users who agreed was from a point made by a user having intentions of thinking me, along with Kyle and Grave are the reckless admin tag-team. I've already apologized on the recent purging of the emotes. That was unjust and I'm sorry for that. The emotes has already been reinstated ever since. However, the updating of the chat policy is completely just and it wasn't a problem until rules are elaborated, and people starting thinking I'm doing this for my own favour, which is completely false. That's when the cap went off.

"it only stemmed from Dude taking the executive decision to wipe out the emoticons page and updating the chat policy page. People are acting like this has been a problem forever, when it hasn't." I believe what was caused was blown out of proportion and I'm requesting BlueSpeeder to please consider to not close this thread just yet, and to re-state the meaning of community consensus on this matter, and what admins can and cannot do, as the community is largerly misinformed.

"All admin decisions are done in good faith. It is not uncommon for users, or the community, to disagree with them. The community and users have the right to ask why a decision was done and, if it is agreed upon, to undo it."  (just to comment on that preceeding quote, instead of the community asking to undo a specific rule or whatnot, which was done here and I apploud that, the community instead decided to approve a rule where we'll see every admin ask the community to tweak a chat policy page. This is crazy.) 

Everything else I approve of, just the community consesnus thing we need to talk about more. Questions need answering before we start another dramafest known as SNNGate, it's about ethics in community consensus.

This. This so goddamn much.
