Can moderating just stay as it is

Everyone calm down and stop arguing over such a trivial issue which has been solved. I have said is going to be changed so theres nothing much to argue about. WOW.

Anyway here is a draft of the rule that we decided on a few weeks back. Any contribution to this is welcome from everyone.

I think that's mostly fair, but I think a post of 'Hey, there's already a discussion on Harry Potter over here *link*' by a normal member shouldn't be punished.

Why is it different for spam though? If I posted porn in spam and posted it in discuss anything, I'd get it removed from both and probably get fired, yet on other rules they're not enforced in spam?

To be perfectly honest sam there's a huge difference between posting porn and "breaking" an extremely minor rule

Spam doesn't require posts to follow a subject, so isn't bound by Matt's earlier statement whereby posts letting a person know that they're breaking a rule must also contain useful information for the thread. Posts just saying "u broke dis rul" in areas outside of spam are problematic for being pointless posts, not for breaking A9

Certain rules don't apply in spam.

I am talking about one specific rule and not all rules. Plus in spam you expect the thread to derail and go off-topic?

Tbh, all the rule really needs to cover is not using modwarns etc as the pointless posting rule covers them only posting to tell the user they broke a rule/warning them for it

I agree with you about the useful information but surely it would be enforced if I directly went 'OH YOU BROKE RULE A#' surely?

Swear I've received PM's about that so many times, omg!!

Best get reporting those warnings/infractions! Totally legal! WTF!

It is allowed to use abbreviated phrases, phrases such as; LMFAO, FML, WTF, FFS, OMFG and IDGAF etc are all acceptable.
However, it is not allowed to use abbreviated phrases to insult others.

But then people are free to say dont be rude -ontopic part here- which could lead to arguments hence the origin for that particular rule I think.
