Since I linked to this in my sig on Atari now...

[littlelolligagged]

In IRC we were talking about rules, and in general the same rules as were on Atari pre-Phoxewoxy will apply. Feel free to discuss it, though. We don't like being treated like idiots, after all.

[RandBlade]

The same rules as they were pre-Phoxe seems reasonable, but its cool now that we can set them however we want.

EG - what's everyone's ideas on swearing/filtering? Do we really need fag or ass on the filter list? Fair enough if people do want them filtering

[GGT]

Wraith already posted the rules.

[Wraith]

Those were only temporary rules, I think lolli's talking about the permanent ones. Does anyone really object to having the pre-Phoxe CC rules?

[Nessus]

I saved a copy of Randy's CC FAQ when Phoxe started coughing up phlegm in our cotton candy machine, but I'm guessing you already had one yourself

[GGT]

I liked the temp rules, actually. But I don't know what the profanity filter looks like here.

You guess wrong!

[Wraith]

Right now, I've only added a few words to it to test the functionality. I didn't want to arbitrarily decide what words should go in there all on my own.

In other words, I wanted to dump the workload on Rand and Dread.

I'm thinking we should ban spamming, excessive flaming, and discussion of illegal activities, along with taking adult content to the relevant sub-forum.

I'm assuming you mean illegal in the United States of Murika?

And I'm not sure what specifically you meant with "ban [...] excessive flaming", surely not ban the flamer outright? Flaming was what, a 4-point offense at R'lyeh?

Is my pen the adult content sub-forum? :mrgreen:

[Wraith]

Do we really want/need an adult subforum?

[Loki]

I was thinking of making the off-topic forum fair game for discussions of people's personal lives, not having a separate forum per se.

Nessus, there's a fine line between berating someone and scaring them off.

Born politician, that doesn't answer my question :mrgreen:

You could flame people to your heart's content in IRC. I have no idea how difficult it is to implement a warning point system. Better ask Wraith.

But if someone's a dick, I like to tell them about it! In great, explicit detail!

Hard, unless there's one already out there I can pilfer. There probably is.

We do have a warning system here though; all warnings are stored and attached to a user's history, and can be viewed by any mod. I think that'll work well enough.

Warning points are really a mod-tool, and don't add much to the user experience, so I think Dread and Rand should get the most say in whether or not we have one of those.

[RandBlade]

While I doubt we'll need much mod-action here (not getting new DBZers coming over for which WL's were actually useful), the log was always the important part, not the points themselves.

[Wraith]

Would anyone be opposed to creating a new, temporary sub-forum for these types of threads while we customize this place? Just in case anyone wants to have serius bizness discussions while that's happening.

[Nessus]

Be Veidt and just do it, I'm sure the srs bznz ppl don't want swearword test threads amidst their bznz

[Dreadnaught]

I think the rules from Atari Before The Fall will probably, but a bit looser. EG it's okay to say "shit", but not okay to post pictures of porn.

But my water porn collection is so entertaining.

[DecoyMilk]

I think swear words like fuck and shit should be okay. We should only have a filter on a few words like the c word.

[DecoyMilk]

That's fu.ck

[Steely Glint]

No filters.

[DecoyMilk]

Or that. As long as I can call bitter a fag hag

[Nessus]

No filters.

Fights, not filters?

[Steely Glint]

Yes!

[Wraith]

No filters.

Filters are currently optional. And right now the filter list is underpopulated. You can turn off the swear filter in your control panel if you want and you'll see everything as it was written.

Illegal where? Even in U.S. where you are determines much of what is and is not legal. sounds like your confused. Legality is too arbitrary as a determinater of appropriate in this context. NO FILTERS!!! Even for the 'c' word, in case you Cant Understand Normal Thinking.
