Tolerance Level

[alex2]

www.proboards.com/Information-Terms_of_Service.html

These are the terms of Service that we all agreed to.
I know I have violated a few and I know a few of you encourage it, but I am putting a stop to it right now.
And I am completly serious. If you have nothing nice to say, do not say ANYTHING

I will Censor posts, Delete Posts, Ban Users without notice.

However, If I feel the user must be givin another chance I will give you three warning's. And I will keep track of them. After the third warning you will be banned. If you become a nusiance and continue to return All guests will be forbidden from visiting the forum.

Some of you whom encourage starting arguments may.
But if one more person use's vulgaritey or profanity in their post aimed at another person they become in danger of being banned. If you wish to set the bridge your standing on, on fire for the mear attention so be it. But you can expect me from now to throw you off it too.

The Reason why, is that this forum is being hosted by Proboards.com. We can loose the forum if we violate their terms. Do you really want that to happen? We've already had legal threats against the forum and it wont take much for us to loose it. Its sad that the Teenagers have to controll the Adults from fighting childishly with each other.

Why the change in name.... Yesterday I tried to change my profile because my Avatar stopped working. In doing so Proboards at the same time experienced some sort of glitch so now my name cannot be used. It doesnt make any sense but it doesnt matter. I changed it to Wolf and I think the name fits. I will be a team player and have a low tolerance level for those that do not.

I am sorry but I will no longer be the Peace Officer
Now, im going to be the Police Officer.

I've tried to be nice but I can see niceitys get you no where.

Consider it my New Years Resolution to get this forum organized again and clean it up.

So...no more setting fire to things?

[alex2]

What have you set on fire??

So no more setting fire to things?

[alex2]

OH.... ( Im a slow moderator )

NO, No setting each other on fire.

You may have debates but no flaming each other.
Also, Do not attempt to bypass the filter by spacing out profanity words unless they are not meant in that way.
If you do that may get you a warning...

[Ooby]

Ooooo the Ministry of propaganda is excersizing it awesome power over its dominion. Just what we need more control, more editing, and more censorship. What fun you will have when their are no more posts to edit? The terms of usage for proboards will mean little if their are no users, or, members stop posting. You have the sword of Damacles hanging over you. Be careful both of you. Too much of that authoritative fecal matter and I can almost guarantee postings will diminish. Of course you will then have less to read. "Don't Tread on Me!"
Bah
Yarak ( who will resent any editing )

"Now Martha, let's pretend this pitcher of iced tea is actually a gallon of your feces"........

I love that skit.

Ok, i think i get where they are coming from after reading pro-boards terms of service. Im pretty sure the things that they are wary of are:

3. CONTENT RESTRICTIONS

Your web site must conform to the following standards to be eligible to utilize this service:


User's content must comply in a manner consistent with any and all applicable laws of the State of California and the US Federal Government.
User's web site may not contain content promoting the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, nudity, or any other form of adult content, profanity, hate, "spam," fraud, racism, mlm, pyramid schemes, or promote any illegal activity.
User's message board and Web site must be in English.

Now this can seem scary. Let me see if i can explain it a bit better.
"content promoting the use of"

Drugs - Thats a gimmie, no posting info on how to grow pot, or mix crystal.

Alcohol - This one kind of threw me, but it goes hand in hand with the drugs one.

sex, pornography, nudity, or any other form of adult content - this is quite obvious. Don't run an adult rated forum.

profanity - is gonna be kinda hard to regulate. But im sure that as long as the forum doesn't degenerate into a big blue streak of curse words, they won't pull the plug.

hate, "spam," fraud, racism - Hate and racism are very similar. No organizations like World Chuch of the Creator, or crap like that on thier forums. Fraud, its illegal, gonna be on there. Spam, i don't think they mean forum spam, but more of "CHEAP VIAGRA, CLICK HERE."

mlm, pyramid schemes - Not sure of what MLM is, but pyramid schemes are crap that get you to sign up for something, basically nothing we would ever get into.

Illegal stuff - Obvious.


None of this stuff goes on here, short of the rare curse word. I don't see what has you guys so worried that you feel you need to tighten the strings. When they say "No Hate Content" they aren't talking about how weasel and i feel about each other, they are talking about no forums dedicated to the HATE of a different community. Goes hand in hand with racism.

I would say cool off, or explain it to us. We are part of this community, and deserve to know WHY this came about.
