Should we have a dedicated section in the rules for Forcing Warden? (1 Viewer)

After some off-forum discussion I've learned that my previous suggestion was too broad and confusing. Here's a discussion thread to hopefully remedy that confusion.

Me and few others think forcing warden in order to deny LR is egregious and should be reportable.
Currently there is no section in the rules related to forcing, or even how to force warden, besides the rules for re-wardening.
So I'm wondering what you all would think of adding a section about forcing, and adding a restriction like the one above. Though other suggestions are welcome.
I would like to hear everyone's opinions and ideas so that we can figure out what works best.
 
anyone else remember that one time on bricker where the warden tried to retry speedrun like 10 times?
 
I dont know how well this would be enforced, but it is certainly annoying when someone goes out of their way to deny a perfectly fine lr. I do have a particular grudge against someone who forced on my simon says just to play a regular round... not naming names... what im getting at is I would be open to trying to interpret a rule for this.

If theirs a Custom LR that's not rule breaking and possible. why should someone FORCE to deny it when there could be several other blues who might be willing to try it. I think forcing to strictly deny a feasible lr is stupid.

If someone is denying a legal and doable LR as warden, whether they forced warden or not, we will punish them appropriately. Someone forcing warden to deny LR isn't going to change how we handle it.
 
Somewhat retracting from my previous statement, I will leave this thread open for discussion, but will not add a poll, per suggestor’s request.

Well that is something informative. Seems like most of the admins don't care for enforcing my idea.
To unpoison the well I'm referring to LRs that fall under this ruling: "If a custom LR is deemed unreasonable/embarrassing it can be denied by the Warden like for example “all day 360s jumping non stop” or “Warden must say mug moment after every command”

If a guard wanted to attempt this kind of LR they'd likely force before the other guards. So the "what if they force at 9:56 and pretend to have gotten warden through the random selection" complaint is a non-issue, at that point it would have likely gone to random selection and obviously randomly selected wardens wouldn't be forced to attempt these kind of LRs.
I know a lot people force just because they know it's deniable, but I'd prefer they just not force if they don't want to do it. If a new blue gets a deniable LR from random selection just inform them it's deniable.
In the previous suggestion I already pointed out how it can be enforced. My intent is simply to discourage this behavior.
