OK. I’m sorry about that. I think you missed one in the “Thank you, Bjarne” thread. Aaron and I were saying ok and Yup a few times. Yes, I’m admitting it.

That’s alright, we just really want to keep the Feedback section easy to read and spam-free.

I think that if old thread are not up for discussion, then they should be LOCKED.
if you delete them, then people cant see what was dicussed or yeild any info from them.

Off-topic posts deleted. Brutus - I deleted yours because you removed all the content that was on topic.

One small suggestion for the rules (based on an incident we had today). Could we make an area in the rules that says sexual harrassment is not allowed on the forums?

Yes, That should go without saying but as you have said, based on recent events, I think something OFFICIAL should be implemented.

I would just like to say even tho sexual preferance is still a bad thing to discriminate, you also have to respect other people’s point of views as for the racial aspect. Example, in Jamaica, its illegal to be homosexual ... what if I was from Jamaica lol ? I’m not but I don’t think sexual preferance is a good reason to ban because not all cultures and races are supporting homosexuality in the first place so you can’t have the sexual preferance rules and still keep the respect between the races. There are also religious issues preventing certain members from thinking of the homosexual issue with respect or empathy.
I post regularily on the “freestlye rap” forum. Part of the poetry we use is based on insulting the opponent. The rules can’t be bent for just our forum, but my suggestion is on behalf of everyone there as we don’t want to cause trouble and are simply trying to keep the peace in the forum, and keep the moderators from having to come talk to us everyday for doing it. Thank you for the compromise with the “n” word by the way though I’m glad the moderators fixed that problem anyway.

Thank you and without you this place would be alot worse so even though not everyone is gona like your rules, there has to be some form of control on the site.

I have updated the rules. Minor adjustment to rule 5 and added a rule 10 (regarding posting of personal information). Also updated rule 3 with a few words on flaming.

Bjarne, here lately there has been a lot of talk about the moderators having different views on how rules are to be handled and punishments given out. I have a couple suggestions that you should consider. I will order them by which would be most effective.

1. You talk with each Moderator as a group possibly in a eternal chat room or a thread that only you guys can see. During this talk you all work together to determine how each situation should be handled.

2. You do a major overhaul on the site rules, going highly indepth and explaining every situation imaginable thoroughly and tell us right on the rules page how mods should handle he thing.

3. You dump all the mods you have and hire a new team, all of them being about the same age and having joined the site about the same time. This way most of them will think about the same way, or enough so that they won\'t be handing out punishments for things other mods said didn\'t need warnings or bannings.

Out of the 3 ideas number 1 would be the most effective and number 3 might not even work. But I\'d recommend both 1 and 2. I\'m saying this because pretty much everybody else is too busy complaining and flaming each other to do it.

I\'d like to point out that idea 3 is only up there because I\'ve seen larger forums do it. They generally try to change the staff up every year as well. The problem is that it keeps the members from getting to know the moderators too well, and thus they always feel a sense of fear because they don\'t know how the new staff will act. So I wouldn\'t recommend number 3 at all. I think that you need to do both 1 and 2 for the best results.

*sigh*

Bjanre, since you’re on right now maybe you can help with a small situation.

Would posting a person’s picture when that person didn’t want it posted be in violation of rule 10 or not?
