Hmmmm, all good points Ben Jos. Still, I'de like to complement those reasons with a couple more.(posted 9218 days ago)About the rules, yes, the rules protect players but just like laws, when a rule annoys more people that it pleases, it has to be changed to fit the very people it rules. So my suggestion here would be, don't look at rules as if they are unbreakable. If people break them all the time, take time to consider if the rule really makes sence, even if the conclusion is that yes, the rule does make sence.
Another thing that kinda bothers me is the disrespect for the user. Say I recorded a inp. Say I spent a couple of hours recording it. Say I broke a rule. MARP's staff then deletes the inp with ZERO feedback to the user. Sure, the user should know the rules, but many of us submit (submited?) inps for the fun of it, and sometimes are not aware of the zillion rules (or 10, or 5, or whatever number of rules). If a system was built that notifies the user when the record if broken, or a new inp submited, or a lot of other options, how hard can it be to inform the user that he did a mistake or broke a rule when submiting the inp? Just deleting it is plain rude. When I spoke about this to the people in charge, I was told that takes 'too much time'. Hmmm, can it take more time than the user spent recording it?
Just my 1/2 a cent. Sure, users misbehave sometimes, but try and see their point of view every once in a while.
So basically what I'm saying is: Lighten up, have fun, be happy: the whole flower power stuff :) Perhaps this way MARP can be saved.
