Clefo Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 I think they are good, but there's already a swearing filter.. so what would be the point of the swearing rules
Young David Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 Not everything is filtered ... If I wanted I could make Leon out for everything I wanted and it wouldn't be filtered. Why? Because the filter doesn't know dutch ... (don't worry Leon, I won't) And ofcourse there are other ways of s w e a r i n g I think the rules are clear and correct. If your a bit sane in the membrane it isn't hard to follow those rules.
Guest Kvan Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 I don't like the whole "stealing" thing. If I want to use someones Avatar I will. The polite thing to do would be to ask first but you shouldn't make it a rule.
Guest Sherack Nhar Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 No, that's not porn, Rogue15. Kvan, we will only enforce the stealing penalties if the "victim" complains about you stealing something from him. So, you can still use someone else's avatar if he agrees to it.
Guest Rogue15 Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 well, just incase everyone was wondering...
Wraith 5 Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 I would just like to know if you could explane flawing a little bit more. What if someone says something that the other person takes offense by would that still be flawing??? Also i just wanted to say that the rules look great, and i am glad to see them up!!!
Guest Sherack Nhar Posted November 5, 2001 Posted November 5, 2001 Originally posted by Wraith 5 I would just like to know if you could explane flawing a little bit more. What if someone says something that the other person takes offense by would that still be flawing??? It will depend on the situation. In that case, a mod will determine if it's flaming or not. But anyway, it's just a small warning for first-timers, there's nothing to worry about. In fact, the whole rules could be resumed as "Behave yourselves and everything will be fine", but we knew this wouldn't be enough
Wraith 5 Posted November 5, 2001 Posted November 5, 2001 ok sounds good Sherack thanks for clearing it up.... Again it looks great!!!!
Darth_Rommel Posted November 5, 2001 Posted November 5, 2001 I registered a second account, before this was considered illegal... I haven't used it to vote in the senate, etc... can I keep (and sometimes use) this account?
Guest Sherack Nhar Posted November 5, 2001 Posted November 5, 2001 Heh, thanks. We worked pretty hard to get there. But once we showed to Chris, he approved it in no time. BTW Wraith 5, your avatar ain't showing up. Rommel - 'fraid not, pal. What's the screen name of your second account?
Guest DarkTrooper Posted November 5, 2001 Posted November 5, 2001 to post the announcement on all rooms its kinda annoyingwhy didnt u just put it in the announcements room
Darth_Rommel Posted November 5, 2001 Posted November 5, 2001 Yes, b/c everyone needs to see it... EDIT: Sherack, I pmed the name to you, k?
Guest Sherack Nhar Posted November 5, 2001 Posted November 5, 2001 I said to keep all comments in the feedback forum, Darktrooper, so I merged your thread with mine.
Captain Fett Posted November 7, 2001 Posted November 7, 2001 Umm, okay when you said no insulting people, does that include saying something to them when they are being over-the-top in their posts, are insulting other people, and using profanity? How do you view this kind of confrontation?
Guest Kioet Csuhen Posted November 7, 2001 Posted November 7, 2001 insult them in a different language. hehe
Guest DarkTrooper Posted November 7, 2001 Posted November 7, 2001 why are u people obsessed with these forums. i mean community polocies what were u people smokin when u came up with that
Darth_Rommel Posted November 7, 2001 Posted November 7, 2001 Originally posted by Darktrooper why are u people obsessed with these forums. i mean community polocies what were u people smokin when u came up with that Something that jump-started their brains, methinks... Anyways, Darktrooper, you work right? What would your workplace be like if there were no rules? I would become a total mess... which these forums where threatening to become. When people were confronted by mods, they would say "i didn't know this was allowed", etc. With this list, everyone can find out what is appropriate, and what is not. They will have no excuses...:evil!:
Guest Boba Rhett Posted November 7, 2001 Posted November 7, 2001 Yes, now instead of me having to consantly explain why I do things, I can just point to the rules.
Guest Toothless-OMO Posted November 9, 2001 Posted November 9, 2001 I have a question about the new Community Policies. I would love to know the answer to this. Also, I was not sure which board to place this under since it concerns itself with the GB Community. This is a quote from the first rule of the new policies. ____________________________________________________ 1. You cannot, in any way, insult (or "flame") someone else on the board. People may not be insulted just because their opinion differs from your own. Flaming includes calling people names, insulting them in any way or saying offensive things to them. ____________________________________________________ Before I ask I want to say I agree in principle with this but here is my question. Who gets to determine what an insult, or flame is? I mean if I write something and someone disagrees with me and calls me, "Bantha Fodder" is that an insult? Or if they simply say, "you have no idea what you are talking about." Is that an insult? What if someone in jest pokes fun at me, is that person warned or deleted for two such actions? This seems a bit, no quite a bit subjective and could make one post in a sense with a bit of concern. So, flame away (no, no you can't do that). So, encourage me with your response! Please share what this means. Thanks Toothless-OMO
duder Posted November 9, 2001 Posted November 9, 2001 Let me phrase this delicately, I think you think too much about trivial matters, relax, :cool:
Guest Kudar Posted November 9, 2001 Posted November 9, 2001 What's more worrying is that we are not allowed to "chat" To Discuss: To talk about a subject in detail. To Chat: To talk in a light, familiar way. Informal talk Chatting is considered spamming and will be dealt with accordingly. incidentally you should probably have noted at the bottom of the post You may leave any comments in the Feedback forum. Be aware that the mods are reserving themselves the right to modify the policies as long as there is a need to do so. Thank you for your time. Force Move bah, it didn't work
EndSub Posted November 9, 2001 Posted November 9, 2001 Forum rules are more of a sort of guide than set rules......if you think what your typing is 'flaming' (if it is tended in insult the recipatent) it proberly is.....re-write your post.....and if everyone does this, everything should go smoothly
Guest Toothless-OMO Posted November 9, 2001 Posted November 9, 2001 Thanks Kud'ar Mub'at I missed that, and I read it twice. doh I will submit it there. Thanks again. Toothless-OMO OK, update/change of Mind here. If I repost and they move it, it will be there twice. I wait till an Admin either moves it or leaves it.
