Since some members of this forum seem unable to get along I’m going to lay down some rules. These apply from now onwards.
1. Be civil. Strictly no personal attacks or slurs directed at others.
2. Posts containing illegal or defamatory material will be deleted.
3. No forum discussion about moderation actions.
Offenders will be put on probation. Repeat offenders will be banned.

Rightio, Captain cb88! Sir!
well observer seeing that bunnings is ok as long as it not worded in a personal attack then one must assume that swearing is ok unless worded in a personal attack.

If you feel you need to swear to emphasise something, that’s fine. Just don’t do it as part of a personal attack.

I’m not going to apply the rules retrospectively. It’s too hard to do consistently. There are almost 50,000 posts in this forum.

Are you going to make this thread sticky, or put it the rules on the home page? It might be good to have the rules visible.
I’ll put them on the home page.

It’s been go go go since I left for the stupidmarket. Onya cb88.

I think, for clarity’s sake, you should go through each and every post and point out the one’s you have issues with.
No great hurry on the matter, anytime this afternoon would be fine.

Maybe he should appoint some deputies to do the work for him and act on his behalf, who have power to enact upon their own discretion when perceived violations are observed.
fuck the poh-leese
;)
It would be nice if people remembered who it was that supposedly slighted them, so that when they return serve it is not aimed at everyone else. ie. If one post from one person on one forum annoys you, that does not mean that everyone on that forum is the same and should have to put up with being smeared with the same brush.
Also, it would be pertinent for some people to read what they themselves post, as they appear to be turning into just the sort of people that they supposedly dislike. It does not take much effort to make the place depressing and argumentive, just as it does not take much effort to create a friendly atmosphere for people to enjoy reading and posting on the forums.
There is an old saying. If you do not have anything nice to say, don’t say anything. There is a newer version on the net, it goes something like this.
Before you open your mouth to say something, THINK:
1) Is it True?
2) Is it Helpful?
3) Is it Interesting?
4) Is it New?
5) Is it Kind?
Now, while you don’t have to cover all five with each post, at least think about what sort of response your post is likely to get.
We have lost a lot of good posters due to the infighting and childish behaviour that goes on in both forums, and we are all the poorer because of that loss.
I am no angel, and I have posted stuff that I regretted later, as I am sure that most people have at some point. The overwhelming majority of people who read and post on these forums are not interested in reading internet arguments, they just want somewhere to chat, learn and generally enjoy being here. Our own actions determine what sort of forum we end up with.
Play nice, and treat others as you would wish to be treated. :-)
…..sure.

>We have lost a lot of good posters due to the infighting and childish behaviour that goes on in both forums,
In fairness, very little infighting of any kind goes on in here. This is a very friendly little forum which is why we were all rather shocked when a certain poster barged in calling us wankers with heads up our arses etc, for no reason that has anything to do with this place.
Still, I’m glad cb88 has posted this thread, to demonstrate that we do have some degree of moderation going on here, should it be needed.
YOU’LL NEVER TAKE OUR FREEDOM!!!
unless some other suitable arrangement is forthcoming
why can’t you discuss moderation actions??

Hopefully there are unlikely to be any, so we needn’t worry too much about the protocols.

this site isn’t funded by the abc
are we getting the same problem as last time with multiple threads suddenly appearing and no way to block them??
wookiemeister said:

Because such discussions always turn into a shitfight. And besides, moderator’s actions are final. If you don’t agree with them, you are welcome to go elsewhere.
No, there was just a bit of drama when B.C. peeped in, having been banned at t’udder place. All over now, bar the paperwork.
I think there should be an OK in the thread title.
The formation of a set of forum rules should ideally be evolutionary.
…bit like that black board in black books

I certainly agree to abide by the rules and welcome them, despite the untrue picture that bubblecar has deliberately painted.

Just can’t help yourself, can you?
No harm in telling it as it is…
