No idea why it comes under that rule. Would make better sense under rule A5 which is where I'm going to move it to now!Quote:

I've modified rule A9 to remove the part about discussing bans and moved it to rule A5 as it's more suitable there.
I didn't remove it I unapproved it whilst I got confirmation. That would have also gave me chance to edit if necessary without misleading the user who I quoted.Quote:

Because it breaks rules which are also against Sulakes rules.Quote:

Rule A4 could be modified to include breaches of forum rules as well as illegal activity, because surely accusations are bad whatever way you look at it?
So A4 could become:
A4. Do not post accusations about breaking the rules, hacking or scamming, or illegal activities by other members ~ making baseless accusations only leads to arguments and often members are targeted wrongly or unfairly. We do not allow you to accuse anyone of breaking the forum rules, hacking, scamming or illegal activities with or without evidence so as to maintain a positive atmosphere about the forum.
You could probably word it better, but the bit that makes me think this is the right sort of rule is the description "making baseless accusations only leads to arguments and often members are targeted wrongly or unfairly." It is unfair to tell other members why someone is banned, and possibly unfair for the moderator who may get attacked for it, even though banned members seem to reappear anyway and all is well again :P
jesus gomme you arent half going on about nothing lately
Rule A4 is fine. There is nothing wrong with A5 or A9 either, parts just needed swapping around.
im pretty sure people have been allowed mention why people were banned for years...... well since before lee and chris anyways :rolleyes: lol
At least this time I am being helpful :PQuote:

No more rules are being changed unless theres a good reason for it. They've been as they are for years and there has never been any problems before.
