1. No personal attacks towards individual members of the forum.
Personal attacks will not be tolerated. If there are personal attacks being made towards particular people, the offending member will be given a warning/personal message and a possible 24-hour ban depending on the severity.
2. No personal attacks towards groups of people.
Just like at an individual, attacks towards a group of people will not be tolerated. The offending member will be given a warning/personal message and a possible 24-hour ban depending on the severity.
3. Threads are to be kept on topic.
For the sake of all members, threads are to be kept on topic. If a member sees a thread he/she wants to go in, they should expect to see discussion on said topic and nothing else. If there is something you would like to discuss that would not keep the threat on topic, start a new thread.
4. Language.
Vulgar language is allowed, but if a member uses language towards other members in a hateful fashion, it will not be tolerated and the member will be given a warning and a personal message.
5. Moderators and Administrators.
If there is a problem or recommendation that you have concerning the forum, you are urged to discuss it in a group message with yourself and the moderators of the forum via the private message function. Additionally, any member who calls out the decisions made by moderators on this forum, the post(s) will be immediately deleted and you will be urged to discuss what you want to via the personal message function of the forum.
6. Treat others as you want to be treated
This should be obvious to everyone. THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK. No one can control what you post, so it is up to you to decide whether what you are posting is allowed. Moderators will step in, accordingly, if needed.
7. No impersonating other members
Your display name is your own. You cannot take a display name that is already occupied by another member. You are free to change it to a name that is not in use from any other member if you desire.

If anyone has anything they wish to ask or discuss about the rules we have in place, which are directly above this post, ask them here.
Otherwise, please shut the fuck up with all this petty bullshit. It's been nothing but bickering the last few days. I don't want to see anymore of this shit anywhere. I don't care if you disagree with a decision someone has made when it comes to moderation, you don't complain about it in threads, you PM Plax and/or myself.
The moderation staff has been chosen by Plax and myself because we believe they can make good decisions. They aren't perfect, no one is, so they will mess up. If you think they messed up, PM Plax and/or myself.
I seriously don't want to see anything relating to this in either Open Lines or World According to Craig. Just stop.

Is "BAITING" someone into an argument an offense? It's been going on now with me today, all of a sudden. Sounds crazy, I know, but it's true. Ever since I told MO I wouldn't rest until he payed for his abuse of power, now I'm getting comments mentioning the words "Attack" AND "BASHING"...both of which are ban-worthy. However, I've said NOTHING to attack or Bash ANYONE. They have come at me with the clear intent to bait me into getting banned. Shouldn't there be repercussions for that type of shit too?
Just like hockey, when a guy takes a "dive", over dramatizing shit in order for the officials to put him in the penalty box. That seems to be the new cowardly trend to get me outta here. I'm pretty sure MO is behind it, since I previously told him that I won't rest until he's gone for abusing his "power".

I'm pretty sure MO is behind it, since I previously told him that I won't rest until he's gone for abusing his "power". No it doesn't sound crazy, been there. I've come to think it is 'sometimes' unintended, only judging by the fact I'm not the only one I've seen it done to. It is frustrating when someone takes liberties with changing your words, reiterating them to put a negative spin on what was not said nor meant by you. Terms like 'bash' or 'attack' are highly subjective. But it needn't be part of the rules here. Why? It's one of the grayest areas. For some, it would take an education in formal logic, argument, reasoning, and communications. Best course is to not take the bait, and instead say something like "I said nothing close to that, read it again". I've often made the mistake of restating exactly what I said, and reiterating exactly what I meant. Never works, you just spin your wheels, and they'll do it 3 more times. No easy answers, especially for someone with a low tolerance for certain things. lol

@eddiej2010 - No one is baiting you.
You seem like you had a lot of questions yesterday judging by your vigorous attempt to get this thread unlocked. Do you have any?

Wow, Really Panther? shut the fuck up? I thought you were above this. But i beg the question...how is telling people to "shut the fuck up" solving anything? Is it politically correct to do such? Thats why we are here. I wanna know.

However, I am very tired at this moment, lol. I will address those issues later on. Just wanted to get some clarification on the "grey" areas, since there are like 20 mods here, and all of you can have different opinions about the definition of them.

So with your questions, you will need all of the mods to answer, which will clutter the page if people ask other questions. Do you not think a PM with all the mods would have been easier to answer the concerns you have, since it would only be you and them and that because PMs give a notification, that you would get your answer quicker in all likelihood?

But Jeff, you seemed to have questions yourself yesterday, do you have any that you can ask at this time?
