          Just in case any of the bureaucrats are unfamiliar to utilizing mod powers, it's an exciting new dawn of opportunities here for you!

          Generally speaking the main rule of main is an arbitrary rule where it can get arbitrarily enforced for arbitrary reasons by arbitrary people.

          Now does this mean we go hog wild and start removing everything under the sun that is mainless?

          Not really, no. We did that in the beginning when we came up with the main rule and made a few people mad for varying reasons. Also a few times the rule was applied a bit tonelessly to more ernest posts where people were having more serious conversations. That was a time we can call "The big whoopsies". Mainly because the main comm was just opened and new traffic back to main was trickling back in, but hitting everything with the silly clown hammer known as the "remove comment" button kinda pressed down on it and persuaded people to use the imposter main comm "chapotraphouse" over the one true main.

          Thus the arbitrary rule was born.

          So since there's like maybe 10+ people running around in the Bureaucracy account currently, it means you're all probably going to have to be more careful and sparing with using your God and Anime granted powers. So here's some guideline suggestions:

          First: Ex post facto! I suggest not going on a crusade through the post history of main and removing everything in your path. That'll be a real pain that I'll have to clean up. Also it'll clog up the mod log, so please don't.

          Second: serious posts on should be left alone. Pretty self-explanatory I think.

          Third: if you're wondering whether or not something should get the garcia-aim NO MAIN! Treatment, don't really know how you figured it out, but communicate among yourselves and try to come to some kind of collective decision.

          Fourth: maybe to play into the bit, some of you can make posts on main then comment on it, then "NO MAIN!" yourselves.

          Can't really think of much more. Have fun!
