Or would you feel the WntS list had actually already been too much 'overboard', and in what respect? I think that the most recent change ( the change being: "Any animal, plant or food item that is not specifically mentioned in lore but that can be considered a possible addition because it is known to mankind on earth and it does not contradict lore."), while it was made with good intentions, is the feather which breaks the camel's back. It really limits what you can suggest as far as depth in the mod goes. For instance, suggestions regarding wildlife or different plants, things which have potential to add to the atmosphere and ambience of the mod, are all covered by this ban.

Respectfully,

Rocket Engineer (Temp Mod)  (Send a FTL signal) Right. Now why would that be a feather that breaks the camel's back, while the already present feature types mentioned in the first bullit point apparently didn't? May I remind all that about a year ago it was common and accepted practise to close threads and ban contributors for suggestions relating on how to implement new lore based features. Did the camel still have a back?

What would you propose to change in the WntS text so the camel's back won't break? Please be concrete, provide the edited text you think would do the trick. Ok, the only thing I think should be changed is that this particular passage should be removed: "Any animal, plant or food item that is not specifically mentioned in lore but that can be considered a possible addition because it is known to mankind on earth and it does not contradict lore". In combination with the first bullet point on the WntS list, what exactly can be suggested is limited to a degree I feel is too severe.
