Rule change question.

[hitech]

What do you think the end result would be if I reinstated rule 4 but not rule 14?

Please put us back to normality and reinstate both.

Suggestion; remove the PNG, but increase the timeout lengths and add a trustworthy board moderator to decrease your workload.

They both seem to relate to the same type of posts and posters

I would say both or neither...I am good either way

Meh. I've stated my opinion. I'm not of the delusion that it counts. You'll do what you want, sir.

14- Posting topics or threads which are based on politics, race, or religion is expressly forbidden.

So, will race and religion baiting be allowed? Just wondering.

Rule 14 has nothing to do with baiting.

Politics in this forum has everything to do with baiting. Then those who respond are held accountable. Rule 14 also mentions race and religion. Will those be allowed to be discussed in the same manner as politics?

I can't recall seeing a thread that had one without the other.  You'd be using time that could be better used doing pretty much anything else policing it.

Is this the only reason you post politics,  to get a rise out of other people?

Definitely restore rule #4, I would also vote for rule #14.  But regardless of what you do, I definitely agree that a good moderator or two would be helpful to decrease your workload.

May I suggest Trips and Arlo?

Rule #4 should stand. No reason for character attacks.

Rule#14 should go. We are in an important point of history and we should be able to discuss global political situations. I think its good that this forum has an international audience, which messages can be read and shared. My belief is that we should be able to discuss situations even if it doesn't fit a Main stream media agenda. While it appears that no one will ever agree. At least both sides can be informed. It seems like its very popular at this point in time, relative to other post, therefore I think its okay to let rule #14 slip during this point in time. I'm sure eventually it will get old like other topics anyway.

I also agree that we need a board mod.

Shame there's not a rule on hypocrisy.
