No rules Donovan, just a little common decency.
I never believe in a right way of playing... but I believe in a right way of treating people if you are gearing yourself as a "service" within the game.
Which is why I would no longer run a lot geared towards being nice to ppl.
At least you are straight up about it
People claim to want progress in this game, but go on these stubborn streaks based on past actions or lack of actions on EA's part... so really we are all just walking against the wind.
this part made me lol

There are players that I would be happy to help (such as a reset).
There are others that I *might* help.
Still others that I probably wouldn't.
And a few....... that I would loooove to see twisting in the wind.

I have no problem with common decency - my argument is against the notion that we are "required" to do such-and-so.
Common decency goes hand-in-hand with respect. If a stuck sim asks respectfully (or even neutrally) for help - and it is not a big inconvenience for me or my guests - then fine.
On the other hand - if said "stuckee" has a history of rude behavior, or is rude in 'demanding' help, then as far as *I* am concerned, he/she has just forfeited any expectation of 'common decency'.
And of course - much depends on my mood and how much coffee/beer I have had.

Oh Donovan we agree on that... I would love to see someone demand anything of me in a nasty manner...
I'll amend to say that all of my above statements are based on the fact that the person is treating in a way they want to be treated.
