Since there appears to be some confusion about how rules work in MD I have clarified them somewhat here: http://md-archives.com/1032/a-summary-of-the-rules-in-md/
>Now., Something in relation with the topic, I thought the judges were free to pass judgement without interference of mur and chewett regarding which issue they could select and which they couldn't? I don't see dst's voice anywhere regarding the issue?
Hey Nim, How are you? We havent spoken in _AGES_, got some suggestions for anime to watch (pm me).
To get onto your post (for fear of those evil mods banning our offtopic discussionings)
>I thought the judges were free to pass judgement without interference of mur and chewett regarding which issue they could select and which they couldn't?
They can! I am assuming you are commenting that Burns decided to not post his list of bad things after I talked to him. There are a couple things here that you might have missed as burns was highly cryptic!
Firstly he doesnt feel this is something the judges should do, and its partially true. Listing what is and isnt allowed in MD isnt something the judges are meant to do, that would essentially end up be deciding laws and anything he posted would end up as potentially his fault and then we would get into another situation of "He told me it was ok, ban him".
Hopefully my md archives post clarifies this somewhat. Judges are to take decisions on individual cases and thereby create precedants. They can pass their judgements on conflicts but the listing of good and bad isnt a conflict.
If you read his post, I didnt actually tell him not to, I asked him. Below you can see his message and the private one I sent to him.

>My PM
>I would ask and recommend you dont post that. People will start to reference it as "the list" and this is why we havent been publishing such thing.
As to why I havent been replying, A combination of vaguely declining health, toxicity in the forum and a number of people I have blocked so I dont even see their messages I do however have some people who ping me when important things happen and I thank them for this.
>So regardless, she (anyone) shouldn't referee situations where she is personally involved, in the form of MD judge.
Isnt this the rules anyway? Its certainly something I have told a lot of people.
I dont see any other questions, but if you have questions about this or the MD archives post I made, please go ahead and ask them.
