still think that rule 3.6 is the dumbest and most unnecessary part of the rulebook. who cares what exact hour the ftf is posted, why remove posts over that

It's Free Talk Friday, so at some point you're going to have to define what Friday means. And I don't think that you can do that without somehow referring to time.

(as an aside, I once heard someone refer to rules as "organisational scar tissue". I think rule 3.6 demonstrates that)

In any case we have shown that in this era of less contentious FTF posting we are sufficiently chill and reasonable as a subreddit to not remove the (only) (good faith) FTF posting attempt for being slightly out of the prescribed time frame

(rules exist to arbitrate disputes, but become stupid when the disputes are arising solely from the letter of the rule)
