I agree mostly with the comment section under the names of Madman97, Cheatcodechamp, and Atvelonis. However, I do also stand with Spey regarding policy enforcement- I feel sometimes some people are so intent on following & enforcing the policy, that they close their mind to the possibility that they could be doing more damage than good.

People trust far too much in the policies, thinking that it's been written by admins who know best for the Wiki. In countries where marijuana was illegal, people were put in jail for selling/using/owning. Then, the laws changed, and suddenly those people weren't wrong anymore. It's good to keep in mind that rules can change and that they can be flexible, as opposed to forced onto everyone all of the time. They're guidelines really, even if they are also enforceable. Rules are a reflection of the direction the Wiki needed at the time they were made, but time goes on and things change, and the rules should be able to change with it. And people shouldn't have to start a s**tstorm on the Consensus board to get said changes to happen...
