Well just as stated, I can't force rp upon anyone, literally anyone could go out and claim w/e me being able to do anything about it. I simply go around elaborating my opinion to others.
Just like how there is nothing stopping anyone from claiming hirashin, edo tensei, earth grudge, all the kg in existence, regardless of how much it may bother others. But given that my opinion i often relied on when party A thinks party B is claiming something they should not have in a zone, I simply tend to go around in order to reduce future issues. Simply giving a warning such as:
"I can't stop you, anyone can claim whatever they want, however, I won't acknowledge X technique in rp that involves me or Konoha and I'd side with the opposite party if I was called to judge a zone in which the enemy questioned it." As stated, my intervention and value is worthless for those that don't respect unofficial rp rules, don't care to integrate, etc. But for those that do respect them, i.e. try not to god mode, respect the in game-kg, respect the claimed, my word tends to be fairly heavy. If one is not the latter, they might as well go wild and god mode their butts off given that they will fall in "illegitimate" category in the view of quite a few. On the other hand, I always elaborate as well as I can, my view that is, and don't just go "lol, no you don't" and as such, I find myself to be reasonable.
Don't fret, my rudeness in the Zenaku incident was due to various circumstances, I'm not that bad a person. I don't recall becoming rude in our latest debate either.
As for the prior joy of the site, a lot of valuable people actually left cause there were too many god modes.
I heard some suggesting that rp should not be so serious, shouldn't have enforced laws, etc.
just-for-fun rp community: W/o laws, etc, it's a place where those that wish to rp properly are at a great disadvantage, battles stop being a "who has more rp skill" and start being "who can god mode more". I personally doubt any serious role player would want that kind of thing. It was easier in the past even though the % of god modes was 10 times the current one. Mainly because we were more clan centered and it was easier to just ignore others but it's harder to silently ignore someone attacking or defending a village. Hell, they could even call you out on not acknowledging their attack and claim an auto hit. xD
I personally find hirashin an iffy thing, something that should be restricted to a few and that would be chaotic if not and if in the hands of poor users, it's not easy to not god mode with it. Even before it was claimed I would advise friends that would come to me asking my opinion on them claiming it in the future that they should not do it in my view, and when it became claimed I strongly supported that for those very reason, it has nothing to do with me recently learning it, that was just a result of me taking the Kumo war WAY to seriously.
