Should we distinguish between games and literature in IF?

Mod post here. I consulted with another mod about whether we should conform to Dan’s suggestion above that we explicitly add “game” to the “broad definition” clause in the Code of Conduct. Their opinion was that “X isn’t a game”-style arguments were already implicitly included in the part that Dan quoted (“Don’t claim a type or style of game already accepted by the community doesn’t belong”).

Accordingly, and for the reasons Dan said just above, I think it’s best to lock the thread. My apologies for what I’ve done to keep the thread going.
