Rules...

[HasiraKali]

I am so confused. This popped up overnight (literally for me).

I do see your point, WEW. There are quite a few mods on here, and while it's nice to have more eyes on things, it probably isn't really necessary at this time. We can work on consolidating and moving mods around. I'll talk with the staff and STM aboug it. I do agree with you.

Feral: I PMed you.

This is for everyone: In the moderator section, we have a thread which we post in whenever we do anything. This includes simply moving threads. It's kind of become procedure now. I've even posted in there when I've simply followed a member's request for a title change or deletion. It's a way for us to check each other and make sure no one goes crazy on the rule enforcing. I'm not saying someone couldn't just not post in there, but a log is made of everything, and I promise that if anything become suspicious it will be taken care of.

We also discuss the decisions that would affect y'all the most before we actually implement them. Closing Mt. Kilimanjaro to only admin posts is one such example. That forum is for forum announcements, and after discussing this, we decided that most members really didn't need to post in there. Rafiki's Tree is for questions, which is where a lot of the posts in Mt. K ended up being moved to anyway.

As far as rules, really the only rule should be: Don't do stupid stuff. Posting links to bootleg material that could get us shut down is stupid. Posting porn links or images on a message board dedicated to a film which (let's face it) is for kids is stupid. Fighting and name calling on the internet is stupid. So... don't do stupid stuff.

Hey I'm still the same guy! And if you say "but with power!" I swear I.......

But yeah even if I got admin rights, constructed the board to this point it doesn't change a thing. I am the same person I was a few weeks ago. That I have chance to edit the appearance or any of that stuff doesn't make me any less effected by the forum rules. Yes I cannot be banned really, but I know better than that to follow the code. And as HK said we do keep log of what we do where most of the time people post things they have done around the board as we don't want an incidence where someone goes and deletes months worth of post without first discussing about it.

Basically I want to say that it's good that people do let the staff to know their concerns and what bothers them or to know what might be an issue. But I also want to insure you all that we are not here to keep you from posting or stating your opinions but mostly to help you, correct your mistakes and pick after you guys if needed and I do must also say that we barely ever have to do that, but when we do, it's good that there is most of the time one or more staff members around to answer those questions and / or issues that you may be concerned about.
