Then there's also the question of what is stupidity. Obviously stupidity of posts can be a bannable offence in Sorceror's Place if enough people complain, trouble is, my concept of stupidity is probably different from other people's.

So there needs to be another section detailing what Sorceror's Place deems to be stupidity.

Only then will offenders know that it's nothing personal, just the rules. As it should be.

 

you have taken away my nick and who elses?

 

He's taken away (ithink):

Evil Herf, Soul Eater
Wiggler (hooligan's other nick)
Ih8greebos (that was not me i assure)
???????

Can't think of the last one...it might be mine (Evil Sniper) but Tal said he would only ban it should i use it to put a silly post on. Which i havn't.

I agree with a small part of the forums detailing what the rules are.

 

IMHO there should be some forum rules to stop moronic people like:

1) No Negative comments, flames, insults etc, this is the quickest and easiest way to get banned so DON'T DO IT

2) No useless topics, if there is no point in the topic and/or nobody will care then donb't post it.

3) Please post on the correct forum, misc topics go on whatnots, IWD topics go on the IWD forum etc.

4) No cross posting on other forums, please keep your topic on one thread and do not advertise it on another board.

5) No excessive swearing.

6) Please speak english on these boards and make sure you do not have the mental age of an adolecant chimp when it comes to grammar.

7) You may only advertise a website or service ONCE, any more and you will be banned by the Uber-Hermit.

8) No illigal shit like warez and stuff.

9) PLEASE DON'T POST IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT IS ANNOYING TO READ AND MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE AN ASSNECK.

10) These rules are subject to change at any time and you are expected to know.

A few things like that IMHO would reduce the amount of shit on the forums.

 

Septic, i agree with you but could you explain a few things to me.

What does flames mean from rule 1?
What does warez mean from rule 8?
What does caps mean from rule 9?

I'm just not familiar with those terms. Thats all.

 

Well, I just think that when the rules are set out in a clearer fashion, unwanted stuff can be prevented. To be fair I think Tal does a better job than many moderators. It used to be that "wrong" topics would be locked immediately and a short reason given. Such vigilance suggests that it wasn't personal. Besides that, Tal has posted many useful things and lent many a helping hand to enquiring posters, so you know he's not just around to show a grumpy face, heh heh.

But anyway, maybe one reason recent events have gotten out of hand is because Tal left the potentially dangerous topics for too long. I say lock such topics immediately or at least give a forewarning, so that people don't get into gear only to have it locked halfway.

Also, I think having very clear and accessible rules will definitely help as it will give people a clear idea of what to expect. Such understanding is important.

Also, people's "common sense" may vary, usually due to cultural reasons. I'm sure there are no real trouble makers here, so harshness is not warranted.

Septic Yogurt, VERY good! Unfortunately, your list is rather unstructured. We should compile it into sections and subsections for easy reference and remembrance.

Next, I think the general rules we are presented with when we sign in can be sufficient, but offenders should be directed to the New and Improved Rules page, with a list of sections and subsections and bannable offences, suspendable offences etc.

I guarantee that if you do this Sorceror's Place will become VERY UNIQUE. Just a short amount of time doing this can save a lifetime of trouble!

Anyway I hope my suggestions help.

 

Yes, maybe you'll feel different if YOU were smacked with a trout.

 

Doesn't the title 'Sorcerer' give an impression of a grumpy fellow in robes?

 

you have the fishy smell anyway...

 

Oi, my friend was dismissed on first offense. Silly Bugger!

TA: whose Rachel?

 

dont answer that, please, we wont even go there!

 

Stop picking on Taluntain! He probably spends too much time on this site and everything here, and some of us should not mess it all up. If offensive language and shitthrowing (translated directly from Norwegian) is to be a part of these boards, I would certainly leave.
