User:TheCheese/sig/Community Poll
The skinny: Okay, so JCM doesn't think that TheCheesegayNachoTalk is appropriate and would like it changed, or have TheCheese's username changed to Pastor Brooks or whatever. Certain members of the community disagree for whatever reasons they have. So, post your reasoning below, and vote below, since this is probably how all disputes should be settled in the first place.

Noxigar's Argument
- So many people have been b& for unacceptable usernames. So... why should The Cheese be immune to what others have been b& for? Noxigar 20:21, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- Because calling the word "gay" unacceptable is blatant homophobia. It's not like he changed his name to "Big black cockadoodle doo" or something -- NachoTalk 20:23, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- ... It's not homophobia. That vernacular is already abused to the point where its original meaning, the synonym "happy" has been forgotten, destroyed, maimed, etc. Noxigar 20:24, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- And it's not just that. It breaks two rules right now. And if the guidelines weren't meant to be followed, why would they be guidelines?

- Apology's for straying from the topic a bit, but most of the rules were just lifted straight from the hrfwiki which were in turn lifted from the hrwiki, and they're about ten times more uptight than the people here. In all honesty, we need a serious overhaul with these rules to make them less strict since our community isn't anything like the one our rules were made for -- NachoTalk 20:28, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- Fine then. Remove the rules altogether. I don't really care as long as I can be sure that TheCheese isn't getting special treatment. And by the way, I never said anything about appropriateness. Please don't twist my words like that. 20:30, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

- By rules, I meant signature rules or any rules he doesn't like. 20:36, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

TheCheese's Argument
This whole community consensus was JCM's idea. And he hasn't voted (and plans not to, apparently). If you don't like it, you should vote and debate. No matter how rock solid your logic is, it's the majority's opinion that counts. Also, I can't think of a more fair way to decide things. This wiki is for the users, and the rules are set in place for the users. If the users largely want something changed, then it should change. That's how it works in real life and everywhere else.
