Well cool that Jager honored my request for him to change his avatar, which had offended my Christian sensibilities! (a bit cheesy there and untrue but hopefully an a propos way to wish that avatar R.I.P.
As it happens, for the most part, the iron-fisted draconian rules listed above pretty closely mirror the ad hoc approach to forum moderation I've taken up till now, anyway.
I'm not so sure disallowing folks from replying to posted material in the reform section will work out smoothly. Before, if an individual moved your shit there, you could at least respond to the action somehow RIGHT THERE after foreseeing that any further replies on-topic or off-topic in that same thread would probably be moved by the same thread originator out of spite.
Basically, I think this will cause some people to continue posting the same crap in the same thread until administrative action is taken to prevent it. Is there a real reason I've overlooked for not allowing responses in that section any longer?
Uh, is it me or are these rules not "new" in any way? These are the guidelines that we've been operating under for the past ice age, and all the first post did was clarify these things... I'm not quite sure why many people seem to be seeing these rules as anything new or extreme - a lot of it is just basic common sense and decency. Hell, the very title of "Draconian Iron-Fisted Rules" is tongue-in-cheek.Realize that quadz pays upwards of 700 dollars *per month*, out of his own pocket, to keep these servers running. With that much investment, one would assume it be common courtesy to go along with whatever guidelines he chooses to set down. It's his party, he'll cry if he wants to, and I for one am very thankful that he hasn't done any crying yet.
