There are no rules on this forum anymore except "don't be an ***." I can quote Dash's post that says so.

I don't think DE was being an ***, and I think you were.

Actually, that's only for Hellfire. Why do you have it backwards?

I don't have anything backwards. What you have backwards is the idea that this forum has rules at all. I was in on the discussions that led us to this point, and it is the change to an arbitrary ruleset that caused me to resign as a moderator.

It does have rules. Look at the sticky that is in every forum. It's called "GladeRebooted Posting Guidelines *UPDATED NOV 9/09*" Only the rules for Hellfire changed.

Reading comprehension: fail.

Nov. 9 is months prior to the recent shakeup. Furthermore, the forum owner publicly stating "don't be an ***" as the rule overrides any Posting Guidelines. Those are there for show at this point.

See, what you have inverted is the idea that rules exist anymore. They don't, except in Heckfire, which is why it's a ridiculous, spurious forum that's little-used.

A) The thread is called "Hellfire: Rules 2-08-10". This implies that the contents only apply to Hellfire. It also is only posted in Hellfire.

B) He specifically mentions Hellfire in the description following "Don't be an ***".

Quote:
Dont be an ***.

This is deliberately vague. Hellfire is a simulated real life forum where people are free to express themselves as they wish. Should you choose to be an arrogant prick that is up to you, you deal with the social consequences that brings. If you get really out of control, say spam posting or disrupting the whole forum, you're gone. Once again please make use of the "Foe" function if you want to be spared a certain posters tomfoolery. If that doesnt work, and I'm not sure why it wouldnt, then you can start to think about the report button.


The implications of A and B are that the new rules only apply to Hellfire.

Not from what I remember of our internal discussions, which I no longer have access to.

Dash indicated he wanted a hands off-board where the moderators really didn't do much. He indicated that it seemed this didn't work for politics, so he was creating a "heavily-moderated" one, but that the rest of the forum would function under a "don't be an ***" general mentality.

The board rules are unchanged. Hellfire is the only wild-west section. Outside of that, reports are handled just as they always have been.

Fair enough, but that wasn't my impression based upon 1) discussions with Dash nor 2) the amount of ignored reports in various forums following the change-over.

Lex, just because you take lithium does not make you some sort Internet Dr Phil. That comment really wasn't neccessary or helpful.

Sorry you're going through this, DE. If there's anything I can do to help, lemme know

Sometimes, the addict needs to stare down the end of a barrel, DE. The compulsion is strong; the mental gymnastics are fantastic (not in any positive sense). And sometimes, there's no where to go but down. Have faith.
