Request a set of rules for this forum

[oarivan]

I find it odd that a forum that's grown this large has no specific thread outlying implicit rules. What is the policy on nude photos? Can I post a picture of my penis in my new "Let see the penises" thread? I can understand the notion that common sense prevails and we should all have it to so some degree but really now, are we that naive? You version of "common sense" may not jive with mine. A clearly defined ruleset would help make things more balanced and weed out inconsistencies.

I apologize in advance if there are already a set of rules. I just couldn't find them. Chalk it up to posting in the wee hours of the morning.

LOL I wouldn't mind...it would probably fly until someone reported u for it, which I DOUBT would happen, am I right? lol

I have no real opinion on rules for the forum. If ya'll mods make some, then at least post a sticky thread proclaiming the rules so I know what's goin' on.

You really can't tell if this is a place to display your genitals?

Good thing you asked then. No you can't do it.

 

[Badjedidude]

I didn't say anything bad or insulting or anything... so lol oh well.

Rules are, by definition, a strict code of practice which is not open to interpretation. Since penises have been mentioned I will use them as an example.

Obviously, posting pictures of your genitalia is not allowed. If a rule were drawn up which stated "no posting penis pics" then this would suggest that posting a picture of Michaelangelo's David should not be allowed.

Now, clearly, the two are not the same thing. However, a forum member could point at the rule and demand the offending image be removed... because there is a rule stating that such postings are forbidden. Who is right in such a case?

Clearly common sense needs to be exercised. But rules are not like that - they are intransigent.

I don't see anywhere in his post that says he wants a common sense rules list, unless I'm not reading enough into his post. From how I read it, it just says that he thinks there should be some clearly defined rules posted somewhere on the forum.

Note how I said our opinions on common sense differ. What you might perceive as "common sense" may not be too common to me or other members.

@Minus: Well now you implicitly stated that I can't do this. I see this is off-topic then. So am I to assume Religious talk is also off-topic?

I checked the logs - no posts have been deleted from this thread.

 

[Badjedidude]

Hmmmmm....:/ lol I'm hallucinating!!!

I feel like I posted something...maybe I just didn't hit the "Post" button or something. lol oh well. Thanks, Steel, now I feel like I'm crazy. Haha no biggie; thanks for letting me know.

So that's what you little imps get up to in chat!

Lol, I've done that before, but I wasn't going to say without checking - it wouldn't be impossible for one to be accidentally deleted either.

I would personally appreciate a thorough and complete list explicitly describing terms that are forbidden on the forum. And please, make it Explicit

Oh, and I refer you to my post which I posted before yours, as if I somehow anticipated it

I have no idea what you are talking about. I never made any comment about about it being on topic or off topic and i never made any connection between you genitals and religion.

I get the impression that you just want something that you can twist around and play lawyer with.
