Regarding the Revision of the Prohibited Activities and Account Penalty Policy

[HyoMinPark]

Unilaterally rejecting someone's opinion. That's what it means. It does not mean "to disagree". You're free to disagree as much as you want. That's not against policy (unless you disagree in an insulting way). It's when you "unilaterally reject another's opinion" that it might be grounds for a warning.

I think a big problem people are having is that SE is using poor choices of words for their translation. It's not that the translation is incorrect, but they are using words that some either don't know or mistake for other meanings. There was this exact same problem with the "compel a playstyle" point. Someone mistakenly thought "to compel" means "to convince", which is not the case at all. It means "to force".

I think if SE went back and chose better words for their translation, that would clear a lot of this up.

Very nice at just repeating the words back to me instead of trying to actually define them. The fact that players cannot figure out an adequate definition is exactly the problem here. It's not from a lack of understanding of the terms in a definition sense-- it's from us having no idea where SE is even coming from with these "rules". They could very well mean we aren't allowed to reject opinions period; the parameters are not clearly defined. And, really, why does a rule like this even matter? Because people "feel bad" if someone else doesn't agree with their opinion? It's one thing to berate someone for having it; it's another to just say, "You can't say anything to make me see things your way, sorry".

There's still literally no reason for a rule like this. No other MMO policy that I looked at has anything like it (as well as the playstyle rule), so it's far from a standard thing. Probably because anyone could claim they "felt unilaterally rejected in their opinion" or "forced to play a certain way" and there would be no way to prove otherwise since it would be based off of "feelings". And since we've established it doesn't matter whether the intention was there or not...


EDIT: Judging from a document I found discussing unilateral changes in the workplace, it's referring to making said changes without any sort of bargaining on behalf of the decision, and basically a higher-up deciding "this is so because I deem it to be so". Why does this need to be applied to opinions of all things, though? Opinions can vary between individuals; are they attempting to try and force acceptance of opinions that differ from one's own? Because you can't force every person to just accept differing opinions. Some people simply don't want to, and while that can be frustrating, I don't think it requires a rule saying "you aren't allowed to do this".

Wish I could know if that was where SE was coming from or not.
