I hope the rules stay the same, they were fine. It's nice to be able to say what you want, even if it pisses someone off. I hope these changes don't mess with how you can say what you want.

If you can't take the heat get out of the fire!

SCREW YOU, YOU GIGANTIC FEEB!

Er, I mean, this thread was posted in February. If you haven't objected to the application of the 'rules' in the past 6 months, probably no need to suddenly be concerned about them.

I haven't noticed a difference, so looks like you can still say what you want, that was my concern.

Well, I'm not sure about the whole thread, but I definitely won page 5 of this thread.

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.

Hmmm... good point.

When I changed the permissions I did for a moment contemplate allowing people to reply to their own posts there. (Am reconsidering that now.)

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?

It wasn't anything too major. It was partly a conceptual rationalization, in that that board is where deleted posts go, the forums recycle bin. Having it read-only seemed to make sense by analogy with the way Windows doesn't allow files in its recycle bin to be opened or edited.

It was also because it's more difficult for me to observe what's being posted in there. I read the forums via the 'recent posts' link using the Admin account, and it shows me posts from all boards, except the recycle bin (Reform School). I have on a couple admittedly rare occasions received a complaint from someone who objected to being trash talked on a Reform School thread, and I had had no idea these threads were even taking place as they don't show up on my screen normally.

I could also solve the latter by hacking the forums code to force posts from that board to show up in the recent posts view on the Admin account.

Anyway - that was about all there was to it. But I think you have a point that making it read-only may in effect close off what previously functioned as a relief valve in some instances.

For the moment, I've changed it so people can reply to their own deleted posts in that board, but not others.

On the servers, 'console' will be any admin present at the time.

On the forums, it's (usually) me.
