Lets talk about... Dictatorship

[Adman]

Rules are an oxymoron in the respects they are intended to promote a sense of security or sense of authority. Yet in most cases they give a sense of fear for authority, and fear for other players, in some respects causing stagnation. This is namely because players use rules as a threat towards other players.
For example, the whole FearRP issue. Players are not exactly afraid of the other user, but the rules tell them that if they have a weapon, you have to obey. So they obey, not because of RP, but because they don't wish to be blackmailed or banned.

The oxymoron in all of this is that the security promotes mingebaggey, and loaded threats.

I see where you're coming from, I just found it less clear then typical oxymorons.
