New Community Manager and Forum Rules

[TotalyMeow]

Two days ago... under Thread titled 3 Petty Annoyances: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9789

I watched your Chief: JohnCarver totally disdain the NEW forum rules and redirect a forum post to his liking. If you wanted to have a discussion on lime or expectations...are there not plenty around already?

it's the same all over, " Do as I say... not as I do. "

Is this the Integrity, Commitment, and follow through we can expect from MM, Inc. in the weeks and months to come?''

Where were you? You couldn't give the boss a nudge a suggest another thread?

Are you that vulnerable?

You seem very distressed so I'm going to try to clarify my lack of moderation there for you. That bit of side discussion about Lime was still on topic for the thread. The thread was about petty annoyances in Salem and the issue of Lime seems to be one that everyone wanted agreed on and wanted to talk about for a page or so; the topic did get back on track on its own so there really was no reason to snip out the side track of lime into its own thread.

It also wasn't reported as being off topic. If I see something off topic that I think is worthy of its own thread, such as the idea I moved to I&I so it wouldn't get lost, I'll move it without a report. Otherwise, threads tend to wander off subject after a while if the original subject has been thoroughly discussed; if I tried to keep up with that, it's all I'd do all day. If it gets reported, then I will split it.

What? Lime was literally the first thing in the OP. There was a detailed discussion about it. What is the problem here?

You name yet another account as Tribe... keep it up. Posting under false names if also breaking a forum rule... soon I'll have all of them... and can point to each as a violation

Got another?

Wait- aren't you supposedly banned for life?

Maybe mods should look into Biddas.

Also what is this? What rule are you referring to? And did you miss the part where they removed all permabans?

Some people just like to walk around all day with a stick up their ass.

Remember, folks, if you ignore the trolls, they eventually get smaller and disappear.

They get smaller faster if you beat them with said stick.

On the subject of board moderation, I manged to speak to John today and this is the decision:

The board will be kept to an approximate PG-13 rating.

There is now a profanity filter. You can turn it off and on here:



The rules regarding abusive speech have not changed just because some words may now be filtered out.

The policy regarding porn will continue as is. If there are hardcore implications in an image, whether it's a real life picture or a stick figure cartoon, you may be banned. If the picture is simply inappropriate but not exactly pornographic, it will be removed, and you may or may not be banned or warned, depending on the context.
