Somewhere in the middle has been the norm, yes. But when the owner wants to stir things up, we can't do much about it. Hopefully, whoever becomes Prime Bimbo next term wants to keep the current rules or only make minor adjustments, ensuring a safe and fun forum for everyone.

What would a foreign minister do? negotiate treaties and interactions between states?

Most of the 'changes' are either returns to the old status quo in the elections or superficial changing of a contest name (long overdue, but nonetheless superficial). Awarding an extra badge to Primes who have served their terms and retired is, as with so many features of Bimboland, a benefit to those players who are already established in the game. The rich get richer and the poor ...

The forum rule about double posting is also ridiculously imposed and archaic. Sometimes one might wish to address points made within a thread by different people and being forced to combine them in one post doesn't help. The prohibition only makes sense in games, not in other forum commentaries. For example, if I wished to make a post denouncing those who feel that COVID19 is a subject for 'humorous' comments I see no reason for it to be posted along with comments about inadequacy of the fashion contest voting system. One dilutes the other, which would not be the case if they were separate posts. And when one received positive or negative responses to one's comments it would be clear as to what the respondent was approving or disapproving of.

I won't say that the atmosphere of Bimboland has become poisonous, only that is has been poisoned.

I'm no fg but I think this rule is trying to make the fg work easier. Less messages in your notifications and easier to moderate something when it's in one clump I guess.

No, she's right. The rule is horrible to follow and even worse to enforce. I've gotten so much abuse from people and that's with me merging their posts so nothing is lost. Imagine what would happen if I just deleted the extras. I'd probably be dead already.

I am genuinely sorry for (and sympathetic about) the abuse you and the other forum moderators have taken. You (collectively) have always appeared just and willing to explain your rulings. When Vivi initiated the position some years ago, I turned down the opportunity to serve, but would happily offer my shoulder to cry on or an ear at which to scream.

Thank you Pia :) 
Things may or may not be in motion to (yet again) fix the forum rules, this time more thoroughly. More in a bit! ♥

Haven't read the full thread (I never know how many pages are in this) and at least the unfair state perks are gone.

But I still kinda feel unfair because some ppl experienced these perks all term long (? a month of +10% vanity, srsly??? I hope I'm wrong here) and the rest of us will just have to live with that.

I know I'm being bitter, but I feel left out.
