Make Atheist Forums Great Again (Part 1)

[Tiberius]

A few weeks ago we asked the membership for suggestions to improve the forums. The staff have been going through each and every suggestion, discussing them to determine whether they can be implemented, and whether they should be.

We have made several decisions so far, but instead of implementing them immediately and all at once, we are going to make a series of announcements for the changes so we can answer any questions regarding them, and so members are prepared. In addition, the changes will be implemented on January 1st, 2019.

Today I want to announce two changes. The first is a new rule regarding thread subjects, which can be read below:

Thread Subjects

Thread subjects / titles should be relevant to the first post, be free of slurs, and refrain from using sexually explicit language.

This rule does not apply in R'lyeh.
This rule does apply in Area 69, though use of sexually explicit language is allowed.

The second change is the addition of two emoji/emoticons/smilies to the forums. These will be available immediately, so no need to wait until the new year. Please welcome taco and poop !

The code for entering these can be seen below:

Code:

Please feel free to ask about any of the changes. Once again, a reminder that this is the first post in a series, there will be more to come, and unless otherwise stated, the changes will not be implemented until 2019.
