All this mess surrounding YouTube and it's rules lately makes me want to exposit about my feelings on rules in general. Rules are tricky things. Not very many people like them very much in truth but most are still comforted and grateful for their existence in a way. Now I have many times called myself an anarchist, but what that actually means is a bit complicated. I am pretty sure at one point in my life I believed rules did nothing but hold people back, and for some of it I thought that some rules were okay to follow and some of them were just dumb and I should ignore. Nowadays though, I generally hold that following rules is more or less a good thing (I am still skeptical if rules being codified as laws for everyone is as good, but that's besides the point). Rules help create precedent, tell people what they should expect. They tell you that if x happens then y is the result, that you should do x in y situation, that x is not acceptable and y is, and generally make it easier for everyone to get along without testing everyone's limits and figuring out their whole brain. It isn't always about punishing people, it's about protocol, it's about making sure everything goes smoothly and everyone can work on an equal footing. The problem is, a lot of rules don't really do that, or exist to propagate a system where some people can benefit off the system at the expense of others. Some are so vague that the people who enforce the rules can basically pick and choose and wiggle out any interpretation they want, which defeats the whole point of rules. Some are so complicated that most people have no hope of understanding them. Some are arbitrary or meaningless and don't serve anyone. A set of rules is a social contract, one that all parties should understand and agree to, but that's often not how it seems to work. Here is the thing though. Trying to break the rules without getting caught or working around them with loopholes or technicalities isn't going to solve anything. It's just going to make the rules more strict and probably more confusing. If there is a rule that you really don't like that much that you need to follow to use a service, the best thing to do is to do the hard thing and refuse to use that service, Find one (or make one if you can) that you can feel comfortable using instead. It's harder and harder in today's world where more and more of the web people use is gobbled up by a few big corporations, but it's the only course of action that has any real long term impact. If the rules offend you in some way but really aren't bad enough to make you quit, well there is nothing wrong with complaining about them and hoping your voice will be heard, but in the end you have to decide if the rule is offensive enough to quit if it isn't changed and if it is, you should quit. I think most rules for a lot things are pretty reasonable personally, but then again I don't post a lot of content everywhere.

VXAN Music Room Welcome to VXAN’s Music Room. Who is this for? Developers who want to learn how to write their own music People who have a general interest in music and want to know more People who want to get feedback on their music! I’ve been in the RPG Maker Scene for a long time, and before I was a Global Mod, I was a reviewer; the thing I kept seeing were simple mistakes that made the music out of place and just downright ridiculous. Things like: Choosing music that is from famous games and thinking it fits in their projects Not considering how the music should fit the scene Tracks that do not fit the genre of your project. Music Academy Rules: Do not plagiarize other people work. You will be perm-a-banned instantly. Respect other people opinions on your work, but do not flame them if they say something you don’t like. Although opinions are welcome, don’t be rude. Give constructive feedback or do not give any at all. Give feedback on other peoples work, don't just come in a post a link to your track. Ask for feedback and give information about it! All other Global Rules apply.

This section is to submit your resources to receive feedback on them. Please not this is not the area if you're looking for feedback on your Screenshots. For game play and Screenshot Critique go here. Rules Bumping- Wait three days (72 hours) before bumping your own topic. No exceptions so if you need to add more to your post, use the Edit button. Necroposting- It is allowed if It's your topic and you have new resources. Plagiarism- Do not post and or claim another persons resources as your own, doing so will result in the guilty person being banned.
