Title: Rules Reminders
Post by: Jack on February 26, 2006, 08:18:36 PM
This is very important because there have been rampant flauntings of the rules. Please note the following:

1. Do not spam.

2. Posts should NOT go off topic by more than four posts.

3. No conversations. If only you and one other person are replying, and it veers off topic, after two replies each you must take it to PMs.

4. If you absolutely have an itch to go off topic, take it to the chat board.

5. No insulting other members.

I will be creating a "mod squad" shortly to begin enforcing the rules.

Please note this is not a "crackdown" it is a friendly reminder, as there seems to be a distinct disatisfaction over how certain members are conducting themselves.

Whoa time out. I'll be appointing mods out of a carefully selected few that have shown explicit respect for the rules. No volunteering.

A moderator, someone who woul have the same authority as me to enforce the rules in the forum. The more mods there are, the better coverage there can be across the forums.

yes jack , but hu will mod the mods? if mods step out of line it will be hard for you 2 govern them all , and then ull have the problem that u cant handle all the mods by urself.
i think it would be better just 2 have like 4 trusted mods with high posts like ZV who are bound 2 visit every post on the site  ;)

DOn't worry Dan, the mods I choose will be frequent visistors that I can trust to be fair and judicious.

What a pity.  He could have just not posted like he said, but he had to go on a spamming spree in order to get banned.  I wish Dan the Man well in his life.  Maybe he can go join a spelling bee.

The part in parenthesis sounds like what Jack would probably tell me if I asked to be a Mod.

What? Where would you get that impression? If anything you'd also be on my short list.

But anyways, this is immaterial. We're way off topic here, so I think a locking is in order.
