A simple OT guide-Why are the site moderators allowing this?
Posted: Sat Aug 02, 2014 4:48 am
1) This was not allowed in the past
The site has undergone 2 ownership changes and many changes to the mod and admin teams. The current view taken by the moderating team is one of tolerance, understanding, acceptance and leniency. Just because it wasn't allowed under the previous administration does not mean we shouldn't allow it.
2) Joe Bloggs is posting stuff I disagree with
That is NOT a valid reason for a report. If you disagree with the topic/post in question then,
ignore, foe, or debate
BUT DO NOT
name call, harass or in general terms flame the individual.
3) Joe Bloggs is a atheist/member of the Taliban/christian/left wing activist/right wing activist, so why is he allowed here
Again, not a valid reason for a report. If someone has opposing views then see point 2.
4)Keep it in the realms of OT
Since putting this up a few of you have decided to push the boundaries in regards to posting in other forums. This is only likely to result in pissing off the other mods and admins which would result in reverting back to strict control. I do not want that and neither do any of you. We are only here for fun, so lets keep it here.
NOTE: This will be added to as required.
