Forum rules

[Josh]

Hi everyone,

A couple of recent threads about streaming tv, pirating software etc have got us thinking. This forum is running great, better than we could have hoped, and that's completely because of the awesome people that have joined. We hit record numbers yesterday for number of new members, and number of people on the forum at one time.

The forum has worked so well because we are a group of likeminded people, who share common interests. As we get bigger (and better known to the public), we are inevitably going to end up having to do more moderation (hunting and firearms ownership are controversial at the best of times). We also don't really want anything on here (like discussion of illegal activities like piracy etc) that could be used as dirt against us by any "other groups".

We are eventually going to need a set of forum rules to keep things running smoothly, but we aren't comfortable imposing our own rules on any of you. This forum is a democracy, so we'd love some suggestions in this thread, and we can all build a set of rules that everyone agrees on.

Sure, you just need two rules:
1- Don't post anything encouraging illegal activities
2- Don't post anything dumb in relation to hunting and firearm ownership

Punishment - Anyone breaching the rules becomes the next forum GIMP (Have you seen the last one.... the bugger used to have a big hairy mop on his head, damn near bald now - do you really want this?) You are WARNED

. . . plus no religion and no politics. . .

No discussion of religion and politics is a given, I reckon!
No discussing Illegal activities sounds good.

Don't post anything dumb is a bit open for interpretation, perhaps :/

Dont post any thing that bring hunting or firearms ownership into disrepute

I dont think "no discussing of Illegal Activities" is an overly great one perhaps more like "no promotion of illegal activities''

I'm thinking "no porn" as well. While we may like it, those advertising on the site probably don't want their ad to appear beside it

Yes/no?

Yeah I agree, that's part of what killed the other one for me, (and all the politics and excessive left leaning membership!!!!!) ((Woops. not considered political is it?))

For sure. Rules are average, we just want the bare minimum required to keep things running smoothly!

So we have:

No discussion of religion or politics
No promotion of illegal activities

No posts that bring hunting or firearms ownership into disrepute
No porn

Looks good to me!

[Bulltahr]

No porn
