@mxyzplk Thank you. I guess it's subjective, but I, for one, found that part and wording pretty irritating. Now it's better, more impartial and informative.

@mxyzplk Even though I see and accept your point and think I do understand the frustration, tone can be corrected later, when attention is drawn to its inappropriateness. It doesn't take more energy than deleting answers, for example. Also, while we're usually thankful for the job you do, nobody forces mods to be mods, and such incidents are part of the job (facing sometimes frustrated people like myself - sorry, but users can have bad days as well), just like maintaining a welcoming and presentable face for the site. If nobody watches the watchers, you should watch yourselves.

@mxyzplk The problem with this approach and tone (especially the tone) is that they can discourage, if not alienate users and unregistered visitors. But heck, whatever, if everyone here thinks rpg.SE is good this way, I can easily live with that. It ain't worth putting more energy into this, but was worth a try. I'm accepting your answer, and, of course, the rules. (Even though I don't like all of them. Such is life. :))

@JonathanHobbs In my opinion this is self-righteous nit-picking, whereas the deletion is overkill (downvoting should've been enough), not to mention my opinion on its communication ("delete, delete, delete..." etc.) Also, if that single sentence makes my otherwise complex and detailed answer more reliable, there's a reality check in order for some, I'm afraid. :)

Thanks. I think I do understand how game-rec Qs and As are supposed to work. However, I don't think my A (cited above) failed to indicate having personal experience, and I don't see how explaining "Yes, we've played WFRP with seven people years ago on a long wintry night or two, and it's those few but thorough experiences I'm basing my answer on" would make my answer more reliable and/or better. (Also, I'm not sure how anyone could verify such a claim, in any answer.) Thanks again for your answer, but I find it a bit too generic. Please, consider addressing my sub-Qs too in view of this.
