Hi again, Ged.

Honestly I didn't mean for you to feel so constrained... The thing about the boosters emerged from comments and conversations held elsewhere in the wiki... it's not so much protectivity for King, but not wanting to risk being held liable for encouraging expenditure nor for discouraging clients. The difficulty system was also determined by consensus long before my time, and while no rule exists that the difficulty can't appear elsewhere in the article, the idea is that this information be isolated.

Nonetheless, if you find these considerations too constraining, then to heck with it, do not worry about them. Just write whatever you feel like writing... it will eventually morph... others will edit. I didn't mean to make things sound so difficult and I apologize for that. Part of it I'm sure is that I tend to get into details a bit too much.

As for the term 'moderation' which you've referred to a few times. I'm not a content moderator -- we don't have those. Everything is done by consensus and everyone is at the same level. The 'moderator' tag in my profile only means I have the ability to manage threads, delete posts, in them, etc. This is granted to help with spam and to assist users not constrain people. I wrote you merely in the capacity of "one of the army of editors" who had been plodding along behind you, tweaking... ;)

Why am I not surprised you're writer in real life! I bet you do wonderful (and probably funny) work professionally. Take care there and keep up the good work.
