I'm on the same mind of Ascert and Amascut. To add to Ama, why in Infernus do we let someone like Uni be a general? This is just a betrayal to me...

I'm going to level with you. Regardless of who everyone wanted for general, we were all picked because the alternatives dropped out one by one. The politics for the election were so crooked that it came to the point where the only reason the generals (myself included) received the rank is because there was literally no other choices available.

And honestly, I hate to say this, but there will always be politics. There's always going to be someone who wants their slice of the pie or thinks their slice is too small. There's always going to be that demand for recognition or "faction balance". Bias is going to be a key word that's tossed around a lot, even when the generals were fairly elected. Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil. I am that villain.

Then explain to me the issue because I have yet to see anything that isn't easily fixable with the ignore button.
For almost a straight week beforehand, the FC was derailed on a daily basis (usually more than once throughout the day). I was present for many of them.

These derailments were not solvable via the ignore list; they involved multiple people (I would tentatively estimate 4+), some of whom were normally upstanding members of the chat. Asking people to add all offenders to their ignore list for the duration of the derailment before removing them after the dust settles was a preposterous solution back when this anarchist nonsense was first proposed, and it still is now. The only reasonable solution during these cluster****s was to leave the chat; and I do not consider that acceptable.

Simply put, the social experiment was a failure. Micromanagement of the ignore list is a ridiculous proposition, and people leaving the chat is the opposite of what I want.

How exactly is the ignore list not a solution? You don't want to see the conversation, you don't have to. It's an easy fix. Or you could just not take issue with people discussing what's on their minds in the first place. Going back to micromanaging everyone's behavior for a chat on a video game is ridiculous.

The ignore list is good in theory, but for it to work in practice, everyone has to use it, otherwise you're left with ignoring just about everyone who doesn't use it. Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain.

I don't even use it and I manage just fine. The ignore button is just there for people with thin skin, just like generals, except without the risk of people abusing it. I fail to see the issue with people behaving like themselves.

Um...what is option 4?
Rally gave an in depth description of it.

Let's be a little more realistic than creating an option for every single person who wants to own the FC.

That's the one that will gain support though. It's a serious option for a serious solution.

Feel free to vote for what you think is best.

I vote Option 4.

Option 4 isn't an option, otherwise we'd be splitting the vote between a dozen different possible choices.
