well at my board and lots i know they have a advertising section so the rest of the board doesn't get spammed with it and well at mine i just let people know that if its a link to something you have to pay for then the topic will be closed and deleted but i guess its at my board huh
i agree its should be addressed in the rules along with strict penalties for it and i think any kind of abuse should be against the rules and right now its not i can tellOriginally posted by J'Pol@20 December 2003 - 15:33
I still think that the rules sadly lack any comment on racism.
As I recall it was there a few re-drafts ago, I don't know why it was removed.
@shareholder
Helpsites are always allowed as long as it is no cheap self promotion.
What is self promotion ?
Topic 1: Look I have a new cool board
Topic 2: Look I changed my design
Topic 3: Look we now have new forum categories
Topic 4: I need more mods for my ultra kewl board
What is a helpsite ?
Topic 1: Ad-aware will help you to get rid of spyware
Reply 2: There is another site called ******** which does the same
@J'Pol
Racism is never allowed. The "power of common sense" enables our mods to get rid of such posts
I appreciate what you say, however we have a specific written rule banning certain things, e.g. nudity, but not racism.
It just seems to me that when you list specific things which are not allowed, then at least by inference the suggestion is that those not on the list are allowed.
i think a rule banning racism is more important than one banning nudeity i mean i think people can recover from seeing porn more than hearing racial comments about their race

It is good for me. If people like to break these rules they ain't lookin for detail. They just break. That's where we come in
well i don't wanna go into the racism thing so i won't but people will find ways to bend the rules read between the lines or take then exactly as they are so the rulrs should include more detail the rules are telling me that advertising is a bigger offence then discrimination
RapFan don't worry too much about it. This board has more spam issues than discrimination issues and that's a good thing
