Trolling rule update
February 16, 2017 at 5:43 pm
The bolded part is new.

Quote:Trolling is not allowed. We consider trolling to be repeatedly doing any of the following:
  • Making provocative posts.
  • Making posts that are unrelated / irrelevant to the thread or conversation subject.
  • Disrupting normal discussion.

In addition to the above, we consider it to be trolling if your signature is judged to be provocative towards a member, whether they are mentioned or not. This includes insulting them, quoting them out of context, or referring to them in a negative manner.

As discussions that involve controversial or taboo subjects often tend to get heated for those involved, not all provocative posts will get classed as trolling. However, if a member is found to be making such posts more often than not within their most recent posts, they will be in violation of this rule.

If you have such things in your signature, we are giving a week for offenders to clean up their signature before we start enforcement.

Right, that's it, I ragequit - this is authoritarianism gone mad!!!!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

So what you're saying is that I can harass all of the members I want for the next 168 hours, as long as I do so in my signature?

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

I do hope you're joking. There's a spare pike awaiting a head. It would be shame for it to be yours.

I trust mine are OK. They are genuine statements and the users stand behind them.
Their original post is there for the world to see anyway,so I believe it's all good.
