I know there's a lot more important issues out there, but the whole rule 1 and 2 thing regarding Statues and figurines is still a major sticking point on /toy/.
Japanese Figurines aren't allowed according to rule 2, problem solved (supposedly). Now comes the other side of that argument; what about Western statues? Are they allowed? They aren't mentioned as being forbidden.
"But," chimes in another anon..."Rule 1 says Toys, toys toys! and therefore since statues aren't toys, they aren't allowed."
And as usual this turns into shitflinging and baiting and everything else we don't want to clog up our boards.
What I'm asking from the Mods (or whoever needs to handle this_ is simply two things.
1-Are western statues allowed on /toy/? Yes or no. It doesn't matter where they SHOULD go, the question is do they belong on /toy/?
2-Can there be an official statement, either in a sticky, or even rewording the rules to reflect this, by someone with real authority that can be pointed to when the debate pops up?
These people seem to NEED something tangible for it to reach their brains it seems. It may not always work, but at least it's something solid to look at and say "this is the way it is.". Otherwise it's endless arguing, and people making assumptions, and looking for loopholes, because it's not explicitly spelled out. The whole "It's up for interpretation, and depending on the mod they're allowed one day and not the next".
It's such a simple damn thing, yet it's one of the major problem causers on the board. If we can make it as clear as possible it would go a long way in keeping the peace, and keeping the board running efficiently.
