EFFECTIVE NOW: SHORT SUSPENSION OF 48H FOR MINOR VIOLATIONS The rule has been accepted with 44 votes in favor (or about 75%), and 15 against. As of now no more OT on this thread, and no more 'minor' insults either. Everyone can nominate a violation. Please PM or email to me. Do not post a nomination on the thread (it is considered OT) HOW TO HANDLE OT: You are permitted to put a single link per OT topic including a short completely non insulting title (no more than ten words starting with 'OT: ') on this board to transfer the OT discussion to the OT board right when it starts. Even then do not use any insults in the first post on the OT thread (the one that you link to from this moderated thread) or I'll treat the post containing the link as if it would contain all text from the post being linked to with a suspension as result. Any attempt to circumvent the off loading process as described here and I'll treat it as if it was posted on this thread. The OT thread can be found here: Subject 53036 Insults: I made an exception that has drawn some discussion, namely that "You are a liar/idiot/etc.." is a big insult ("you" makes it very personal, it's name calling, it can be meant as being a habitual behaviour), while "That is a lie/idiotic remark" is not considered an insult by me ("that" makes it much less personal, it's not name calling, does not refer to lying/being an idiot as being a habitual/standard thing). In this last case I'll only step in when a person would both 1) use these terms regularly and 2) would reasonably often use questionable reasons or not even mention explicit reasons. It leaves some room for candid discussion. More details on the above rule can be found here: Message 23096157 Regards, Rink
