The one and only.
It seems as if my "Mods: be more specific" thread is being spammed up. spammed? yes, cause spam is, in part, posts that dont reference into the topic of the thread, and these posts are now off-topic. so here, I will start a new thread, and this time, I'll be more specific
what we need is a very clear statement of all rules, what is acceptable and what isent. some banworthy offences are un-knowen to anyone. for instance, this all started with a post count thread. my understanding, and that understanding from what I knew in the past, was that no one could start up a post about how many posts that they do or do not have. I did NOT know that talking about the postcount system, AKA, weather or not to have, instead of total posts, a number that represents something else relating to post, was also illigal under CFC rules. Another more recent event, being rules of a closed thread. can you re-open a closed thread that was NOT closed because of the topic of the thread itself? all these questions are rule questions, and the rules should be findable. if your going to say that ignorance of the law is no excuse, then you must, in turn, provide a place where all rules are stated. the rules page we have is MUCH to short to do this. we need a constitution. or more like a Criminal Code I guess, that outlines all offences, and punishments.
I understand that repeat-offenders or extreme offenders would get more of a punishment then others, but you could write that into the Criminal Code/CC as well. the CC could state, that if you do anything to the extreme, or repeadley, that the punishment will be more, but the SUGGEST punishment is listed here. then a list of offences, a discription, and a punishment. for example
No threads on postcount or annerverserys. this means you cant post anything on, or realatiing to how long you have/have no been here, or anyhting realating to postcount, or the system it represents. the punishment for this is a 3 day ban
of course the CC is Thundy's job to check, so this passage probably wont be in it at all, or atleast modified. also, I do understand that Mods need the freedom to use thier judgement, but it should be written in that any time a Mod DOES use his judgement, for a rule not written in the CC, that Thundy will get a PM about it.
I really think we need a CC. some things here that people get banned for our crazy, and some things they dont get banned for are equally crazy. and when banned, the Punishment often dosent fit the crime. I'm not whining about any mod actions, but simpaly making a point for argument that we need a more standard CC. we have, at this moment 18,748 members. thats more then the city I live in. its about time we started to think of ourselvs are more then a simple site. nations have CC's why shouldent we?
