Guest jm29195 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 Sounds like a fair set of rules- it should at least cut down on the ammount of useless tripe tha gets passed around on these forums by all those new peopl who've showed up recently, btw how many have been banned since yesterday, maybe they've all gone now?

The Dames 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 I'm not sure how many there were, but more than triple what we're used to banning in a week's time. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JHawk Report post Posted May 29, 2003 Pretty much everything sounds fair to me, although the "no second chance" thing makes me cringe a bit. I can't explain why, but I saw that and went "uh oh..." And that's from someone who probably is in no danger of being banned anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted May 29, 2003 i think it is just Jhawk using his 34 different alter-egos. as for the rules, maybe you should post them in other folders as well. just to get the point across that they will be enforced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DawnBTVS Report post Posted May 29, 2003 I thought those are quite fair indeed...so I'm cool with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 Well, there's a big black link at the top of every page, which should be enough. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kingpk Report post Posted May 29, 2003 The "no second chance" rule's been pretty much an unofficial rule for a while anyway, so I don't think there's a problem there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jm29195 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 Oh well I suppose those that don't read the rules will realise soon enough and correct themselves when they get told off..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Cancer Marney Report post Posted May 29, 2003 This was much ado about nothing, apparently. Apart from #3, I don't see anything significant that wasn't already a rule, official, quasi-official, or unofficial. And given that something like 90% of the board's population would be banned if #3 were implemented in any consistent manner, it's a non-issue too. eh. I'd almost have preferred a Stalinesque crackdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest papacita Report post Posted May 29, 2003 Man I had this cool ass Gorilla Monsoon gimmick I was gonna do. Rules sound good to me. I'm glad you made a ruling about sig sizes, because the screen shifting has been bugging the hell outta me lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jm29195 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 Sorry but what's the problem with wanting all the idiots to go away? Those who don't have anything constructive to offer to the board should just bugger off, I mena what's wrong with that opinion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sandman9000 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 One issue that has been brought up before and was not mentioned in the official rules was post count celebrations. Since nothing was said, I'm guessing that such celebrations are ok, though maybe just in NHB? I know their useless in the long run, but it gives me a chance to gross people out.

Guest Big Poppa Popick Report post Posted May 29, 2003 question the oaoast will on occasion invite a poster we like to join would you consider said pm spam? im tempted to say its not because the bulk of our stuff are pms to each other, and its a rarity when we invite people...

Guest JHawk Report post Posted May 29, 2003 I'd assume something like that was OK, Popick, provided you asked once and dropped it after that. Judgment call from Dames though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MaxPower27 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 I've been offered to join the OAOAOAOAAOOAOAOAOAOAOST and simply turn it down. I think that as long as it's site-related, I think it's cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted May 29, 2003 Sorry but what's the problem with wanting all the idiots to go away? Those who don't have anything constructive to offer to the board should just bugger off, I mena what's wrong with that opinion? not everyone agrees on who and who is not an idiot. And i think everyone who has posted here at one time or another has acted like an Idiot...I know I have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2003 No, that's fine Popick. I wouldn't consider it spam unless it was the ONLY thing you did and went out of your way to do it. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ElectricRaccoon Report post Posted May 29, 2003 Absolutely TASTELESS comments are subject to ban via mod’s discretion regardless of the forum. I'm uncomfortable with the subjectivity of this one - there should at least, in my opinion, be some kind of warning involved when it comes down to, essentially, where a mod sets the taste 'bar'. But it's all in all a decent policy, and hey, your board, your call. Oh, wait, I mean...you bastard! I call First Amendment on you! And also, that amendment counts for Canadians when the server is located in the US! Down with Dames! And so on! This is where the emoticon would go, to show that this is all in good fun, but again, I loathe those things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Marshall Report post Posted May 30, 2003 What if someone who is consided a regular (or established *sigh*) breaks one of the rules with an instant ban penalty, wouldn't they be given more of a chance than someone with 100 posts? EDIT: Also, am I breaking the spaming rule by having a link to ebay in my sig? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kingpk Report post Posted May 30, 2003 Then it's their own fault. I mean, they have been around long enough to figure out what flies and what doesn't here. Besides, most of the rules (except for the "blatant racism" and trolling ones) allow a second chance or the decision is up to the mod (and the mods here don't "abuse" their power, regardless of what one cannabis-loving ex-poster said). About spam: Links in sigs are fine as far as I'm concerned, it's when someone creates a thread (say in the WWE folder) simply to advertise their board that there is a problem.

Guest RenegadeX28 Report post Posted May 30, 2003 The rules sound pretty fair....but I also agree.....what would mods and admins consider VERY Tasteless..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted May 30, 2003 what would mods and admins consider VERY Tasteless..... That's going to vary from person to person, but I imagine Jubuki's asshole remark that got him banned would be a good yardstick. I don't think any of us are easy to offend, and I know we don't go around looking for things to possibly offend us. Something that's a judgment call is almost impossible to quantify.

Guest Cover of Darkness Report post Posted May 30, 2003 I think we should make an exception to the "able to speak English rule" for anyone who posts in Esperanto. because if you translate your posts into Esperanto on an internet wrestling message board... you are far too pathetic to ban.
