So, roleplay demands are now against the rules

This is an extremely disturbing development.
Some of the admin statement here reads like they're deliberately misunderstanding/trolling the target of this sanction.
I cannot believe you are telling us with a straight face that things like "And you are going to keep your mouth shut" is to be understood as a demand that precludes additional demands?

If I'm supposed to be taking that into account, it's going to become very difficult to even have a normal roleplay conversation as a pirate. Am I to understand that if I wish to make a demand that isn't 2milordai, I must make sure not to explain it in a way that requires multiple messages, because this would be making multiple demands?
Can I no longer make another demand if I, for example, tell a trader to "move away from the trade lane"?

It seems like the bottom line here is, better stick to "stop ur ship, trader"+"drop all cargo or u die" which is technically entirely within the rules. I hope you realize that this is exactly what this sanction will be encouraging.

I don't know what's sadder, the unparalleled idiocy of this sanction and explanation thereof, or the fact that somebody was so butthurt by actually interesting pirate RP that they reported it in the first place.
Though I didn't think this was possible, my faith in the fair judgement capabilities of the admin team has actually dropped even lower.
