Honestly, I don't like extensions either. But it's the site policy. And it's not upon approval because that would be a fucking mess of technicalities. It has to either be upon request or not at all.

I have suggested a two-vote penalty, but for no logical reason, that was dismissed.

A 2 vote penalty would definitely be thwarting. But approval technicalities could be stymied by something like, the extension request has to have the opponent mentioned so its less likely to be missed, and if there's no response within 24 hours its automatically granted, and extensions can't be requested within 24 hours of the deadline. Boom soblem proved!

And @YDK that fucking sucks man, I hope it's just minor... But admittedly, I still lmaoed at "knjow hospitackl" I can understand the j and k addition given close proximity to other letters, but, how the fuck did that c sneak in there?

That's a lot of shit to keep track of and would lead to a lot of bitterness. A two-vote penalty ensures extensions are available but also makes them less desirable.

It wouldn't be much to keep track of, really it would be easier to keep track of, I mean, as it is now the mods have to notice the extension request arbitrarily, if mentions were required it would go like...

Extensioner posts: Hey @opponent @mod I need an extension
Opponent replies: ok (or doesn't within 24 hours)
