I don't want to have to make a "Rules" page for this BBS, but there have been some things that have happened lately that I want to clarify.
1. No real-life or personal information on the BBS. I respect everyone's ability to remain anonymous. Blue put a post into the third base which was a thinly-veiled personal attack on another member here. If you feel the need to do that, go start up a Live Journal page. That thread will be removed upon the user-in-question's request.
2. Don't derail the non-comedy threads. While writing this, I saw JQW speak to this in the other thread on here, and I therefore consider this to no longer be a problem. And I'm not saying that he's the only, or main "offender." If I start a thread on some video game and Bob Green & Larry King make an appearance, I don't really care. But if someone is trying to bring the content in a more serious manner, please don't use that thread as an opportunity for reckless abuse. There are seriously 99 other threads where that is fine to every one which is not.
3. Posts will not be deleted, unless #1 comes into play. Obviously, one of my mods feels differently about this than I do, but unless someone is out giving home phone numbers I'm not going to nuke posts. If someone is doing #2, I'll deal with it.
4. I don't want anyone telling people to leave. This is something that has not happened in the last few days, but it's something that has previously happened. Obviously, I like every last one of you guys & girls and it's no big secret that there are people here who do not have the hippie commune vibe that I've got going on for everyone else. But I don't want to see anyone tell somebody to get lost or whatnot. Lex has never admitted as such, but it wouldn't surprise me if he stopped coming here in part because every other post that was made to him was one telling him to fuck off or shut up. Lex is a friend of mine and when it comes right down to it, I'm fond of every last one of you. I don't want to see my friends told to get lost by anyone.
