Decisions of regular members are non-binding, unlike moderators' decisions. Moderators have the power to overrule any decision made by regular members when it comes to closing and opening questions. | |

There wouldn't be much anyone could do about it outside of mod action. It's a loophole in the rules but the potential for abuse is there. | |
| Oct 21, 2021 at 23:22 | comment | added | Otkin | I would add to this that the Help Centre clearly states: 'If a system, event or element of the world is causing you problems we are here to help.' (emphasis added) and 'World building includes geography, culture and creatures for the world, not to mention magic and planetary physics, in short, everything from the physics underlying your reality to the entire universe you want to build.'. Therefore the statement that all questions must be about the rules is not consistent with the existing 'proper' rules. I also share your concerns that the OP is not a part of the moderation team. | |
