It is an empty gesture now, that wasn't always the case. I hope you see my other comment on it.

And it wasn't a change for nothing. At one time the mods and admins had been enforcing the rules as we understood them but the owner, colloquially known as M7, was unhappy with our actions. Quite a bit of drama ensued. One of the admins, known as D3, asked for a clarification of the rules from M7, but M7 felt the rules were clear enough and needed no further explanation. So D3 quit and the rules were updated, and the pyramid became mostly irrelevant from a rather minor change.
