An Update on the New Rules

Alternative Facts · January 08, 2015, 10:21:44 PM

Since several users have requested more communication as to what the site staff has been doing, figured it would be best to give you an update as to where we are with the update to the rules.

As of tonight, after a few weeks of discussion, the draft of the new rules has been created and further discussion will continue over the next couple of days. Overall, the rules are slightly more relaxed than what we have now, but not to an extreme degree.

We'll keep you posted until their release.

This user has been blacklisted from posting on the forums. Until the blacklist is lifted, all posts made by this user have been hidden and require a Sep7agon^® SecondClass Premium Membership to view.

Also pointing out that a portion of the rules now have harsher consequences based on whether they are moderated strictly or lax.

I think I'd rather have stricter moderation.

Moderation on some of the rules will remain strict. However, by more relaxed rules, it would be better to say they have been made less complex to understand, so we leave less confusion between them and members.

This is neither a sticky or in news.
Consistency.

I guess they're trolling

I would assume y'all are going through or have already gone through the moderation on NSFW content. Related to that, I don't think there's anyone younger than Alphy who visits. (Yep, I think he'd be the benchmark) No posting straight up porn, I get that much, but where exactly would the line be drawn?

Currently, the plan is

- Sex Stories/Sexual Role-playing/Cheerio's Thread/Sexual Text Based Threads will be allowed in The Flood, AS LONG as the title of the thread indicates it is NSFW.
- Pornographic Images and Videos, along with Gore and Shock Threads, remain Anarchy only.

Why do we have a news column?

For the Ninja's/Admins to post actual updates. Monitors do not have privileges to post there.

Plus, this is just an informal update to let you know where we are.

That's the eye roll emote. I usually use it when there's no point in arguing with something dumb.

I don't like stickies taking up space when they're not for information, a thread to dump music/art isn't information.

Alternative Facts · January 09, 2015, 02:56:31 AM

Hopefully, the new rules will be up sometime over the next couple days. A discussion and concern thread will likely also be made.
