It's not even remotely what we are asking of you. And if you do cross the line, depending on how serious it is it can range from a Mod telling you to knock it off in a Mod voice to possibly a temporary thread ban. You'll usually get a warning first. If such conduct that we have deemed...

Its irrational. We have no intention of repeating the mistakes of what happened before. I would say we were actually too hesitant to hit for what few things we did catch. As for how we handle each violation as it arises it depends. So far, for the most part, most things like would get a...

Then you'd think they'd give me a little more trust as I was and still am the main one who gets ire for the PM. Please explain to me how a Staff enforcing its rules is suddenly a case for concern? Because this was more us admitting our failure and saying we are enforcing the rules we said we...

No one wants a repeat of the PM fiasco. But we've been lax enforcing the rules. You know it, we know and others have seen it and taken advantage of it. For the most part the boards are fine as they are. But people agreed to the rules as we laid them out. There's no new 'Gotcha' rule. No...

No. More like follow the rules you agreed too because we the Staff are no longer going to be lax.

Yes they will and we cant help that. But that doesnt mean supplying them with ready made ammunition. And honestly, all we are saying is that we are enforcing the rules everyone agreed too.

Ironic as from what I saw you were actually a victim of some of this.

That's exactly what I'm getting at.

And we will do our best to explain as clearly as we can.

I'd argue most of the board is already in compliance. What we are stating is that we are cracking down on the ones who are not. This is as much internal consistency as anything else. But I wont lie to you. There is an optics angle too. You know it as well as I do. We were never going to get...

But Civility has always been in the rules. Lol!? Power? What power? This is a duty and responsibility. Seriously, I've had real power and authority before. I didn't much like it. When things are going great no one gives it a second thought. When things go wrong then everyone is looking at you...

Right now the Staff is on the same page as full enforcement of the rules and ensure civility while maintaining our adherence to free speech; with both the benefits and responsibilities that come with it. For all involved. Edit: Apologies for the slow responses. I'm on mobile and it's a very...

Which is understandable. But people need to remember that the Staff here were also victims of that too. And we want to be very careful not to repeat those mistakes. Had we caught these earlier they still would have been hit for violations of the rules. But now it's a spectacle because we are...

No. We are our own forum. But we have been negligent in pushing out own rules. Whether out of Naive optimism, failure to catch it or negligence is immaterial. What it boils down to is this. We've been Lax in enforcement of the rules. Now we are not. That's what is happening.

I can answer this. A number of things finally catching up to us at once. As many of you may or may not know I have been running a. Outreach program to get others to cross pollinate to our board. Not to leave the other boards, but just also post on ours too. And I've been fairly successful at...

We the Staff took a fairly hands off approach As we figured people here were rational adults and could self Moderate their behavior. To discuss ideas, politics and whatever under the sun to their hearts content in a civil manner. This was perhaps naive but we felt we had to try. But this has...
