Takebacks vs Mistakes

With the increase of players coming into #judges4you asking for help in cases where they make a play, then immediately wish to take it back, I just wish to remind you of one thing:

Don't come into #judges4you unless an infraction has occured, or you need a ruling! If you decide that you'd rather do something else after making a legal action, the decision to take it back lies with, and ONLY with your opponent.

That said, this policy doesn't include cases of obvious misclicks (and no, burying a permanent then deciding to respond isn't a misclick. misclicks are stuff like pressing ctrl + d instead of ctrl + s), or cases where an action was not legally taken.

To boil it down: Players should be more responsible for their actions, and don't come to judges to try and change your play, because we won't rule you.
