Nicholas King said:I didn't exactly "pull anything" out of thin air—I was simply answering the question, "Where does it say that playing lawyer is prohibited?" Since this was being asked by someone with a pretty decent post count, I figured I’d actually go and check to see if it was possible that—get this—it wasn't explicitly stated in the Reddit Code of Conduct.It’s actually pretty fascinating—if you think about it—that there aren't any actual rules in place to oversee how the administration operates, or even some semblance of accountability for what they do. I mean, it's almost strange, isn't it? There seems to be absolutely nothing governing their actions or holding them responsible for their decisions. I guess it just goes to show how much unchecked power is sitting right there.
They aren't even sitting in Congress to have legislative immunity. I just don't get it—it makes absolutely no sense.
Of course there’s surveillance—and of course there’s accountability. It really isn't that complicated. They are responsible for every single cent of taxpayer money you’ve funneled into their operations. Simple as that.
I’m not trying to get dragged into this specific feud—honestly, I really am not—but I find it incredibly bizarre that someone who wasn't even around on the Reddit yesterday is suddenly preaching about parliamentary democracy and acting shocked that it doesn't exist here. It’s just... odd, I guess.
Obviously, I know this isn't a democracy. However, I had no idea advocacy was banned—Tvuku could have just told me that directly instead of dragging out an argument and making me think it was allowed.
I haven't spent my life studying the PŽK rules until today—as strange as that may seem to you.
