It it true that these rules apply to only a small group of Rpers and that the rest of SL basically will continue doing as they always have, being the majority of the rest of the site.
Just remember not to be badgering those who do not follow your rules when you run across them because they are everywhere. And a few of them have not been silenced by this loud sect proselytizing at the top of their lungs their particular agenda.
I think also that if Shinro. or anyone, wants to come on here and voice his opinions, a right everyone readily claims that ALL members of SL have, that when he does and you find that voice doesn't fall into step with the collective you should just say, go figure.
We discuss controversial topics here and know you are not preaching to the choir. The voice of dissidence is going to rise again and again. But to slam someone when they take on that role while claiming that the people of SL are FREE to come here and comment anytime they wish...well these are contradictory themes in misalignment.
Were these discussion more amicable and less contentious bouts that de-evolve into character assassinations, then I would venture to say more of the members of SL would indeed come to comment. As it is, most people find it about as productive as self mutilation.
Sometimes topics divulge into such thing. Heck, many of the most recent ones have. But at the same time, there has been progress made in some I would argue. As you said, the voice of dissidence will keep on rising, and that gives hope that if all divulges into madness, at least it was not in vain.
Slam? Alright, I guess I should always post with someone's best feelings at heart, and hold back what I actually want to say. I mean, it didn't divulge into cursing, hate mail, and poking fun. It may have seemed that way since, you know, more people object to the 'controlling' statement than agree entirely with it.
Whether we like it or not, that's an attack on our character just as much as our own little arguments. Making us out as some big bad trolls out to rule SL when all we demand from the community is that if they RP with us, they follow our rules, and vice versa, we follow their rules if/when we RP with them (since, ya know, we're the minority so we have to RP with some of the majority at some point).
The few who have not been silenced continue to make their statements in their own ways. Literally, whatever works. If anyone, even me, expects to come to a forum where the people will just say 'okay, no response to that', then I can see how we seem to be the loud ones.
More on topic:
I said right in the first post that I was not talking about items, merely jutsu. Also, at no point did I or anyone else say, "Ok, let's go over the rules we are going to force upon everyone on SL." if people want to keep rping that they have their claimed jutsu they can, they don't have to follow our rules, just like how people can claim to be fantasy creatures when others don't like it. It seems incredibly presumptuous to make a multi-paragraph rant about how we are trying to control people when that was never the objective.
As for Eric's list I agree with Edo Tensei, Hiraishin and Body Recreation. I do not agree with Dead Soul Consuming Seal, that's a suicide technique that not even Edo Tensei can abuse, I say if you want to take your opponent out with you then do it. I also actually don't agree with Raiton no Yoroi because how do we limit that? Dozens of people claim it, who loses it and who keeps it? I don't think there is a fair way to decide that. I don't know what he means by corpse control, and would like to see that jutsu page.
By Oro's body substitution I assume you mean this?

It's kind of hard to limit things that aren't already claimed I am now realizing. I can't think of a fair way to say who would get to use it and who doesn't, unless we just want to say no one new can learn those jutsu without being taught by a current holder, but then for Raiton no Yoroi there would just be a list of like 75 people on it.
You make a fine point. I did add some techniques up there, namely lightning armour, that would be impossible to limit or regulate; so I'll just scratch that off my book. I meant Oro's eternal life technique thing:
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Living_Corpse_Reincarnation And as for the body control thing:
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Dead_Soul_TechniqueI guess it would be easier to just use the already claims list techniques as a sort of reference. The thread that evolved concerning 'banned techniques' seems a little offly named for what we're working with here right? We're not banning the techniques, just limiting them.
