Clefo Posted November 4, 2001 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted November 4, 2001 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kvan Posted November 4, 2001 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rogue15 Posted November 4, 2001 Share Posted November 4, 2001 would u consider THIS porn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sherack Nhar Posted November 4, 2001 Share 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sherack Nhar Posted November 5, 2001 Share 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.

Captain Fett Posted November 7, 2001 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Rommel Posted November 7, 2001 Share 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!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boba Rhett Posted November 7, 2001 Share Posted November 7, 2001 Yes, now instead of me having to consantly explain why I do things, I can just point to the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toothless-OMO Posted November 9, 2001 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duder Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 Let me phrase this delicately, I think you think too much about trivial matters, relax, :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kudar Posted November 9, 2001 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndSub Posted November 9, 2001 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toothless-OMO Posted November 9, 2001 Share 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.
