It's been three days, so, in an attempt to give this thread direction (because no progress is being made whatsoever), I will try and summarize things up. First of all, SilverPlays said it best when he said not to make a scapegoat out of SonicDude. Seriously, this is getting out of hand. This is a place for civil discussion. Stop arguing with each other like this, just look how long this page is already after only three days.

As we are talking about multiple rules in one thread, it can be a bit confusing.

Link Descriptions: There was some stand-out opposition from Pandoo, Krazy, Dude, and I, but consensus is seemingly in favor of abolishing this rule. Maybe talk about it a bit more?

Full Censoring of Words: There is support in favor of abolishing this rule, though many have voiced that we should either allow it or completely remove it. Maybe thats discussion for another time, but for now there is consensus to abolish this.

Loosening of talk about sex/drug/religion: Seems to be consensus in favor of this as well right now. Loosening the rules on these so references to drugs, minor references to sex, and religion discussion should be fine. Should be up to moderator discretion when it gets to be too much, but otherwise we shouldn't be outright warning users at the first mention of "weed" or "crack", only if it gets out of hand.

Community Consensus: There hasn't been enough discussion about this to warrant anything, and there shouldn't be too much of a need to add something big in the rules, but administrators obviously can't go around doing whatever they want, so maybe add a sentence or two on the Administrators page saying that they cannot do anything major without consensus?
