Re: Forum Rules?             Go to Top

I read the rules, not anything we can't all live with. I like this one:

We forbid all vulgarity. Curse words will be deleted and the violator will be subject to suspension. There are many colorful ways of expressing your thoughts without resorting to vulgarity.

To my way of thinking even if one talks like that they certainly don't have to use it in their writing. Thanks!

Some more enforced than others

Be positive
Try to be positive. It is much easier to learn and extract or give value to the forum through positive interactions between members. We reserve the right to terminate anyone's account if they are providing nothing but negativity.

Here is a suggested list of acceptable phrases . . .

Bull sheep.

You are full of sheep.

(Insert carrier name here) has some really sheepy plans.

Aw sheep. I'm outta here.

Now see, you slipped up already and forgot to remain positive. Let me help you.

Example. Instead of saying (insert well-discussed mortgage protection pyramid scheme company) is bullsheep, you need to turn that into a positive and say "I am positive that that outfit is bullsheep."

Get with the program.

The main point is to have somewhere to refer people to when they ask why their spam was deleted.

Why not just take them out back and beat the sheep out of them?

It's more fun to let Scott play with the spammers

Re: Forum Rules?             Go to Top

There is still plenty of room for that, but now I don't have to write a whole email five times a day about why they violated the rules, I can just point them to the relevant rules.

Also finished the faq section today... almost two years now, probably a good time to fill the site out.

Probably when the sheepheads that were "working" for him all quit suddenly - they realized they could do better working for Mega

Re: Forum Rules?             Go to Top

As a newby, maybe you could tell us what is considered vulgar. The word nerf to me is really offensive, then again I like foam. Maybe a list of words that are not permissable.
