Coming from the educator side of things, I'm sure the staff is just as unhappy about being open. However, we're legally obliged to open unless it's impossible to do so.

Prescriptive style is not the same as Descriptive style.

I'm more of a Descriptivist when it comes to things like these, hence why I think the rules are fine as they are.

It's basically just adapting to the people around you.

If all posters post in a style distinctive and different of your own, you'll try to fit in eventually.

But, then again, you consider Pseudo-RPing to be spam. Sometimes, it can be spam (Example: 50 people *glomp*ing each other), but others, it could be interesting and even useful. Plus, TFR has kinda been filled with spam, which would be why we need TFR, TET, and TFW, to mediate between the Pseudo-RPers, the conversers, and the spammers.
