So what... you learn from your mistakes, like in life newb make mistake and 
it's okay. My mom never made me wear and helmet and padding when I first 
learn to walk.

How many time did a judge or ruler did really get spammed? and unstead of 
punishing the spammer and warning the potential one (i.e. when in prison you 
had a clear message stating that spamming would make you been remove from 
the game), you implemented a restrictive solution that affect every one, 
includind the good player that were have intelligent relation while in 
prison.

Let's see: From now on, no one shall be outside after dark. Now let me 
explain you the context,

-The baker complained that he had been robbed.
-Robbers work in the dark,
-So a good solution is that everyone have to be at home before the sun goes 
down.

Since that I have explain you the context, you surely understand why. But 
still to make a single person happy, we restrict the liberty of all other.

Also It's hard to believe that opinions doesn't matter to you, as on many 
occasion I have seen change in the game after, someone had whine on the 
D-List. Either you only made these changes because you were tired to hear 
from them, or because opinions does matter.

-----------------------------

Overall Tom, I was really looking to hear from you (I don't know why but 
usually your opinion matters to me), and I hardly can explain my deception. 
It seems that you had only gave attention to the examples I had gave and 
that wasn't the point of my message.

I want to point out that many changes have been made for a loud minority and 
cut the fun for the silent majority. That some bad player (could even be me 
sometime) cause situation that are corrected with a solution that penalizing 
everyone.
