| And I have to say, to be perfectly honest, most of these rules semi-exist anyway. This is essentially just making it more formal/clear where everyone stands, and it allows us to hopefully do our jobs better here. |

| Are we going to have to put a gold star in our avatars to differentiate ourselves from the moderators, too? |

I believe setting standards for us is also a great idea, Stu :)

No, we're not getting a constitution - I just made a pun so the meaning was clear (these are some "laws", for the lack of a better word, and they apply to the "COR". If this was the "Lounge Out Room", I'd have called this thread "The code of LOR", or something equally terrible).
Now, some of you keep whining because "the rules aren't clearly stated". I suspend someone and there's an angry outburst, because it all happened on a whim and there are no standards. Here they are now, all the implicit rules we've been following, stated as clearly as possible - and you complain it's dumb, too long, or pointless in the long run.
It's easy enough to be jaded and just complain nothing is as awesome as you wish. That's pointless. Try to come up with something useful: That's what we need, and that's the real challenge. |

Reason why we've had naked pictures of members posted here without their consent, people who have never met hurling abuse at each other to the point it derailed more than just one thread (you'd imagine that was enough), home addresses being published for no good reason whatsoever other than embarrassing the person whose parents live in the place, drama being unearthed because of debates that had nothing to do with the dirty laundry in question, and even unsolicited spam over the years.
Yeah, that proves the COR can easily go without moderation. |

Preface: In Australia, cheap cask/box wine is called "goon".
When I was in high school, we drank a lot of goon, and would have "goon songs", where every lyric in a song that remotely rhymed with goon was substituted with the word goon, along with various other obscenities.
Hey Jude was one of them.
"Hey goooon, don't make it bad.
Take a sad schlong and make it better".
I have tons of these :stongue: |

1. what stupid idiot takes nude pictures of themselves gives them to someone and then expects them not to be shared. i bet she never did it again. whoever this was, had legal recourse, but she probably didn't avail herself of them.
2. argumentation is fine. sure discussions get sidetracked but at the end of the day any disagreements peter out on its own. people have to take s and eat and sleep. they die on their own. if someone is genuinely harmed in any civil or criminal act the harmed party can take appropriate action and i'm sure the owner of TA would comply with any legal order, were these deemed necessary.
3. home addresses are usually public information anyway (in the US at least) do a search for someone here and you'll find tonnes of information. its crazy but it is what it is. what is there to be scared of? a pizza arriving at 11pm? someone throwing eggs at the door? if the address is posted usually its because the offended party had posted some information already. a birthday, a full name, alma mater, etc.
i think its unnecessary, and i understand there is no freedom of speech applicable as this is a private site, but i think it stifles speech (in this case discussion), and as far as i know, i can't think of one society where burdening speech has been a positive factor in that society's growth and developement. on the contrary, it inhibits creativity, innovation, the arts, and progress.
my advice is not to become overbearing. you (as in a collective you) will be nailing the final nail into the coffin of this site, what remains of it. |
