This is true... I think they should be allowed (though perhaps regulated... though I feel the social ramifications for being a hateful bigot are regulation enough) Sleepy

What can I say? I don't support completely free speech Sleepy Where indeed could state secrets function, if those secrets are free? Sleepy

Quote:3. No Flaming
Spamming people with a large number of swear words instead of making a point will result in a warning and a ban for repeat offenders. Whilst making an insulting or impolite remark in a discussion is not specifically covered by this rule, it is certainly not recommended. If you cannot present your point without insulting someone, you don't have a point worth presenting.

The bold is the problem, so far as I can see... hence it only really applies to excessive flaming (so far as I can tell).

Quote:And also a rule against pornography:

Quote:5. No Pornography
Any pornographic content will be deleted immediately. This includes pictures, videos and links. Discussion of pornography is fine, but for legal reasons we cannot display pornographic material, even if it is hosted on another site.

Are we to assume that neither of these are still in force?

Aside from these "legal reasons" (which I would assume are likely in response to "nobody of <insert age or mentality state here> may view this material"?)... i see no problem whatsoever with pornography. Sleepy It seems to me (though I may be wrong of course) that it is not so much no pornography... as it is not stepping on possible legal toes. Sleepy
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
