As will I. MoD isn't anywhere close to BZP's strictness, but it's enough to keep Da Bad People away.

Question on the new rules. Is censored swearing still allowed? For example "Aw f*** I forgot to PM you yesterday."

This is good. The spam and flaming was out of control, lets see how things turn out now.

in before tldr
What if I made a thread doing a census on whether certain people would like to be exempt from the trolling/flaming etc rules when interacting with each other
because oftentimes people don't understand when jokes are being had

No. Its the rules and you have to abide by them. Whoever you are talking to.

but the thing is it isn't trolling or flaming
eg if I tell TK to shut up it's not trolling or flaming because we're cool with that stuff
it's more clarification for unempathic mods than an attempt to find exemption

It might make other people think it is ok to do that to everyone.

I agree with Luke. We'd get newbies telling all the vets to shut up all the time, and vice versa.

However, you need to abide by the new rules, even if the person knows that you're joking, i would refrain from doing it. Go do it on new mod if they're on there, where that rule doesn't exist and its free reign.

Immy, I'd like to point out there are a couple of errors around the board, such as Socialising having -4 topics, go through and Fix Boards, that should do it.
I personally think MoD shoulda stayed dead :/
EDIT: Would you be able to make the Archive visible? That's kinda the point of an archive.

Post by Nate on Apr 29, 2009 15:26:01 GMT -5
Currently its invisible because the archive is part of the Administration forum, but i think thats something we could get changed.... But i have a feeling What TK said is going to happen again.

Not so much "absence" as it's how long it takes to go through all the spam, trolling, flame wars etc, due to how much there was on the forums.

That's not what he meant. well it's what happens, he;'s usually busy sorting though all the he said she said trolling, spam, flaming, and people going back and forth at each other and trying to keep things civil...and things do tend to get..slowed... to the point of where he has to pruely work in the background at times.

six months? Really at best I may "dissapear" for a month, maybe two at the best when my MMO has a long event, But I pop in the keep tabs on things about three time a week when I do that. Ok @ Aegis, I discussed this with staffers but didnt fallow through with it just yet, since it needs more thinking: I connsidered adding something like /JJA to filter to a link (showwing the definition of JJA, Just Joking Around)or something like that, but Im at a dead end thinking "What id people abuise it as a free pass to insult people for real and we cant tell?" Timekeeper, Id rather not people say "Aww f*** I forgot something" anymore, and use "Aww dern I forgot something". Im trying not to make things horribly strict but Im afraid of one thing leading to another and people start using it to throw a jab at people, and it would start getting out of hand to the point I cant control it anymore since Im letting it be used for some stuff instead of other things, or being afraid to filter something since someone would have a fit for me filtering them and not other people. Its both easier for me, more fair for everyone, and cleaner for the forums if I just filter all wordfs I reconize as cursing indescriminatley. @both, as long as your on good terms with someone I dont think its wrong to filterdodge in PM however. I guess I need to tweak the rules already to cover these and a couple other things, like including/clarifying not to talk/make topics anout members/refer to members under certain conditions. Sorry about the sig thing too Aegis, Its my fault for not covering/clarifying that in the rules, Ill see to it that it doesnt count against you.

sorry also
but if there is thing that people "sign" that disqualifies them as trolls when interacting with other people who have "signed" then it can't be abused, because both parties have already consented for all eventualities (with some exceptions obviously)
