The Rules: A Proposition

[fly]

Since theac has given up on you fags, I asked if I could come up with a rules suggestion and he said "Good fucking luck." (Not really)

So anyway, here's the rules as I am suggesting...


Registration requirements back on
meaning no one who simply posts "omg lyke Avril is teh bestest singar evar" will get in

No blatent spam posts or threads
Like my 'HI' thread

No trolling
Unless its directed at Sarcasmo

No racism
Unless its directed at elpmis

NSFW tags on all inappropriate material
Unless its pics of me


Are these okay with you folks? THEN ROCK THE VOTE.

EDIT: a supermajority is required to implement these rules (66%)

[kiwi]

Woo Hoo! The votes are currently at 100% for yes.

[inline4]

voted..

but it changed my "no" vote to a yes

this is rigged!

[elpmis]

what are the differences between these rules and the rules in the past?

[ERage]

it seems like there are more lax content requirements

[April40]

I'm with those 100%.

[April40]

it seems like there are more lax content requirements


Where?!

[theacoustician]

This isn't a troll, but for people to be able to tell you what they think, I believe you would have to define what each thing is (like trolling) and what the punishment is for breaking it.

[elpmis]

I'm gonna troll every fucking thread just like I always have, rules or no rules

[elpmis]

Where?!
there's nothing on there about blog threads

[ERage]

Where?!

well, there is nothing there that says a blogging thread would be shunned...as long as it is something that sparks a conversation

i don't know what trolling is.

[elpmis]

i don't know what trolling is.
via Urban Dictionary

trolling - Being a prick on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can.

Guy: "I just found the coolest ninja pencil in existence."
Other Guy: "I just found the most retarded thread in existence."

I made a faux blog thread... wtf guys. There was content! Lots!

[ERage]

i don't know what trolling is.

it's when you cast a few lines out of the back of your boat and slowly move ("troll") across a body of water catching mad amounts of fish in the mean time.

ah. so we're all trolls, but the nice ones that don't mean it. ok. :D

My comment was not directed towards your earlier obgyn / lasik thread, it is just the first content related rule that I remember on the old rule list that was not included on this one.

i wish that worked.

[itburnswhenipee]

I think NSFW tags are appropriate as many of us post here from the office. I know I appreciate it.

[Pandora]

So before I vote I wanna make sure I get one thing absolutly totally and completely straight...

Any and all trolling that is directed at Sarcasmo IS acceptable?


If so then I'm in.

vote yes now.

:happy:

But I reserve the right to change my vote if this rule is ever changed.

[JPatrick]

fly, I am comfortable with these rules and have voted "y"
You may now plant your face in my lap.

lets get the rules banged out, then we can bang out the rest as group pookie. :heart:

btw, a supermajority is required to implement these rules (66%) - first post updated.

You see, that's why people today lose elections. Not enough candidates are willing to go out to the voters and give oral. If I ever run for president, my campaign slogan will be "Oral for everyone!"

Seconded...But Are you saying that Sarcasmo can't post it or that we can't post about what a hot woman he is? :fly:

[taeric]

So, basically the rules are to act as you would during a normal social gathering among friends? Only, bear in mind some people will be reading from the office, so try not to get them in trouble. Right?

How, exactly, is this different from before?

[taeric]

I voted no for two reasons. A) Everyone else pretty much voted yes. I figured No wasn't getting enough respect. And 2) If we are going for more of an informal set of rules, I'm not really sure we need a formalized version of them. A simple rule of, "be civil" would most likely suffice. And if civil is cannibalism, then keep in mind that I taste best with a white wine sauce.

(On the other hand, if civil is just cannabis, get back to your snacks before they start talking to you.)

[Bubbles]

If we don't have a formalized set of informal rules then who will keep out the formal proposals to 11 year olds?

[taeric]

How do you keep the 11 year olds out of conversation with you and your friends? How do you keep your friends from proposing to 11 year olds?

Seriously, do you have an agreed upon set of rules whenever you sit down to talk with your friends? Isn't this what a forum is all about? Especially this forum, which is (or was?) pretty much invitation only. Are we getting rid of that?

[Bubbles]

But with no rules....just anyone can sign up. In conversation, you can walk away from the 11 year old.....where you gonna walk on the internet?

[eileenbunny]

I like the rules. I can abide by them. No problems here at all.

If you walk away everytime someone you don't like comes up and starts talking to you and your friends, I truly feel sorry for you. For myself, if I am at a table with friends and someone we don't like comes up, we either ignore them or encourage them to leave. If it gets really bad, we pretty much actively prevent them from leaving.

Besides all of that, I would support limiting how people can get access to the forums. Be that with invites only or with some sort of screener. I thought the vote was for rules on posting. Not gaining access to them.

Derailing threads == trolling in most cases. At least, on most forums it does, maybe not here.

I was kidding, though. :) Even if I couldn't get the keed of triumph the insult dog correct.

There have been maybe 3......okay, no threads that have not been derailed here :fly:

btw, the rules are now gold. <3

Which is why I was pretty much unaware that we really had rules here. I guess it felt like when you go to a pool that says no diving even when it is 6 feet deep. Pretty much everyone understands that as "kids and people that aren't reponsible should not be diving."

[Sarcasmo]

samoas are the best ever

[elpmis]

*
don't get me wrong, samoa's are the shit, but they are runner up to thin mints in my book only because you have like 3 of them and then you're fucking sick of 'em cause they are just too much. Not like thin mints, you can pound a roll of thin mints in like 60 seconds if you aren't careful

[taeric]

I've always been a fan of the trefoil's, myself. I hear this year they have a new coffee flavored cookie. I wonder if a jasmine tea cookie would be any good? :)

Yar, that sorta works for the crowd that's here now - and probably why that's the crowd that still posts, the problems arise when the people who dive into the drained pools start to show up :D

At least that's what I'm worried about - we had more of those when this place first opened which required more moderation.

[Sp`ange]

tagalongs and do-si-dos, ftw. thankeweverahmuch.

[bast_imret]

The ones they don't make anymore, with the vanilla cookies and cremy vanilla center, and then the raspberry gel on top, THOSE were the best. Can't believe they stopped making them.
