"Respect other members, and their opinions.
Spamming is not tolerated.
Do not threaten the safety of the forums or server.
Do not discuss bans with others.
Do not post anything directed at single members."
1: respect is subjective.
2: the definition of "spam" is subjective, but I beleive the "dictionary" description of spam should be used to describe and identify it, rather than simply "whatever a mod deems useless".
3: I've already threatened and compromised the security of the forums' server several times in the past, yet I am still here, why is that?
4: Why should we not discuss bans with the others? This is a community, you can't just remove it's members and expect life to go on as if nothing happened. There is simply no way you can regulate or enforce that rule unless you start policing PM's, which is something the vBulletin architecture isn't designed to do.
5: How the hell are we supposed to address individual points in discussions then?

1) Being subjective doesn't detract it from its actual meaning. Here, respect means just what it implies. Not what some twisted sociopath takes respect to mean.
2) We give the Moderators the power to deem a post not worthy of the forums. That's detracting from their abilities.
3) Actually, I added the hacking rule after you made those threats. It was because of you that this particular rule was instigated.
4) It's a rule older than my registeration date. When a member is banned, they are banned of just cause. If you have a problem with the banning, you can privately contact us, but the community discussion of such can cause more problems than it solves.
5) You can address single posts, just not anything that is so directed at one particular member that it digresses from the topic at hand.
