Really nice job, Lance! I like the mission statement, that's a nice touch.
In my hands I hold a candle whose flame is small to see, And if I give but one light to you my life is filled for me.
But...In your hands you hold a torch for many eyes to see, So hold it high that they may light their candlewicks from thee.

Thanks for asking for my opinion. Well, these seem like very reasonable rules to me. I can't see where anyone would have a problem, unless one is the sort of person with a *terminal problem* to begin with!

So, "Carry on MacDuff", as Shakespeare would say.

Very nice, but:

a) Why can't I kick the dog?

b) I think the rule that all usernames must either be upside down or begin with a double-l is unreasonable.

Racist or Hate Speech

Postby Lance » Wed May 24, 2006 3:42 pm

Currently:

Racist comments or "hate speech" will not be tolerated here. Need I say more?


I think it may be better to say:

Racist or Hate Speech
Racist comments or "hate speech" will not be tolerated here. This includes the use of terms generally thought to be derogatory towards any social group.

Proposed Addition: Rule Testing

Postby Lance » Wed May 24, 2006 3:53 pm

Rule Testing
There is no need to "test" the rules to see how far you can go. Just use common sense and don't do what you're not supposed to do. Anyone who finds it necessary to continually test the limits of what they can get away with will be dealt with more harshly than someone who makes a flagrant violation just one time.
