    Why hello there!

    It was this before https://library.tarvalon.net/index.php?title=File:Avatar_Zaknafein.jpg Hopefully there's a record of your rank somewhere! Maybe in the Wayback Machine if not in official records?

    See, the difference between you and me is, I'm sitting here like "What are 20 event ideas unappealing enough that I could cheese my way to a silver-that-doesn't-become-gold, thus snagging myself an Alchemist Merit..." :shifty2: In all seriousness, though, it sucks that you're being made to...

    Membership Manual Change: Age Requirements Revised

    Also, I apologize for giving the impression that I thought you insincere. You are clearly sincere. To me, arguments in favor of reversing a change like this feel unsettling and frustrating because of the very real, very creepy and gross and harmful history of the site wrt the safety of minors...

    Membership Manual Change: Age Requirements Revised

    It just seems like beating a dead horse at this point, to me. But I've shared why I feel this change was badly needed, so I'll bow out and let others feel as they will. There's no harm in it, you're right. And people are allowed to wish it were otherwise.

    Let's try this again. Sure. That point being... we've already said we're not going to. This is an "fyi" thread, not a "brainstorm options" thread. No one doubts your sincerity. But, no matter how much you beat this dead horse, it won't be coming back to life.

    This is a great point. I'm tired and don't have suggestions, but I do like the idea of finding a more internationally understood ratings-terminology. I know I mentioned American movie ratings in my post, but it was to compare/respond to a previous comment. I'm not particularly attached to it.

    Wrt Discord, if we're going with the American movie ratings analogy, we're currently at PG-13. Porn is NC-17. There's a nice, happy medium of R in there, which is what I imagine we'll aim for.

    No worries; it's totally understandable.

    Membership Manual Change: Age Requirements Revised

    You're welcome, and I'm sorry I wasn't more clear the first time around. And yes, I can absolutely understand not wanting to be misunderstood or misrepresented (accidentally or otherwise), especially about such a topic. I joined in my early 30s, but a lot of my friends here joined 5-10 years...

    Membership Manual Change: Age Requirements Revised

    I'm happy to do so. I literally grabbed it today; I never saw your older one. It's the last line of what you posted above. And I didn't miss the second part. I was trying to sympathize with the sadness that someone would understandably feel, but also to remind everyone reading that, for better...

    You're right about the optics. Thank you for the reminder that our words help mold the way we see the world, and can mask the bad behavior of those who don't fit a stereotype. However, at least some (perhaps all) of those saying/implying male, saying "Gaidin," have a very specific former member...
