    Coming soon: updated terms of service

    it's been over 3 yrs since they were updated. expect a new set to be posted in 24-48 hours.

    also, glenn and lilith's bans will be lifted tomorrow evening, seeing as how while the rules were indeed broken multiple times, if the staff goes back and reviews ALL postings by all members in the last 2-3 weeks, we'd have an insane number of disciplinary actions taken. there is to be an amnesty of sorts due to the fact the the rules have been lax for some time. however, once the new TOS is posted, all members are expected to follow them and disciplinary actions will be applied consistently.

    I'm so glad that our justice system doesn't work like this.

    phattonez... ultimately I think the decision to unban glenn and lilith is a good thing especially since the TOS is being revamped and updated.

    Everyone is being given a clean slate to start fresh - with a new updated TOS.

    I promise it's a good thing hon.

    I know that it's different here, and I'm fine with it because no harm will come from it. However, if this were the real world, it would be a terrible decision. I guess it's a good thing that this is just "The Internets."

    But if you destroy the world, what will there be left to rule?

    Behavior has been "atrocious" over the past few weeks because all that remains is a tight-knit group of members that, for the most part, has been here for nearly a decade. We know each other well enough to be able to take a little ribbing.

    If we decide that, to keep our bustling forum of a dozen active members under control, we must strengthen the rules, I suppose I shall be among the first to take a ban for having fun on an internet forum.

    But you see, most of the stuff that we do now, even if they decide that it's not allowed in GD, it would work in GB. We all like to flame every now and then, and it's fun. When we lost GB we lost a lot more that just another forum.

    actually, this is limited amnesty, applying solely to lilith and glenn because they were the two affected by the increased staff activity and application of the TOS.
    to be fair, we'd either have to ban EVERYONE who violated or just unban two and make it known that the period of leniency is over. it's easier to unban two than to review every active member's posts.

    Re: Coming soon: updated terms of service

    I for one look forward to seeing what AGN considers a warnable offense. I didn't really think that the previous rules were sub-par, but were perhaps just incomplete. PureZC's user guidelines, while complete, aren't harsh or really restrictive at all. AGN's were really even less restrictive, but seemed to have lacked certain provisions for several unlikely events which may have occurred. "Winging it" would have then been necessary, and since there wouldn't have had been anything written about it, users may have gotten the chance to complain about it, not just appeal it.

    Ultimately, I think that keeping everyone happy is what a good set of rules should do. Seeing as you can't keep everyone happy, an attempt should be made at keeping at least the vast majority happy, while still setting a few provisions for those who don't fall under that umbrella. I suppose it's possible. Just have to get creative with it. :p


    Well, all in all, I do look forward to seeing these new guidelines and rules. Maybe if I'm bored, I'll run 'em though my own little creativity outlet and spiffy 'em up with BB tags and all; make them look nice and shiny. :-3 Heh.
