If a rule is abused, it means that the rule is faulty. The very concept of rules is to ensure there is no abuse, not to encourage it. Any rule should then be abolished in my opinion.

I do not discuss the exact terminology, but the description. The description is vague, it talks about "too much" and "not fair". It can easily be misinterpret.

That's the issue, people barely even try. Just step into a bar and state: "I'm a vampyre and I use protection prayers." How many people will blacklist you? All of them, no doubt. It is because vampyres and protection prayers are considered OP and frowned upon. It gets worse if you don't have a reputation. People simply don't accept "rulebreaking" unless it is from a well-respected member with lots of credit. Such people can get away with it.

I think the gravity of the situation requires usage of such terms, as it is urgent. I don't describe things softly, and I don't hide it behind minimalizing words. Banishment is the correct term if you exclude aspects of lore out of roleplay with no funded reasons.

Also, ignoring players who blacklist you doesn't make the problem go away either. It is a childish non-solution. If people have problems, they should talk it out.
