Update to the Forum Rules [discussion thread]

The Golden Rule of the Internet: Treat others as you would hope to be treated in person. There are real people behind the screen.

Be conscious that people come from diverse backgrounds with experiences you may not understand, and they may not understand yours.

Remember that despite differences, all participants share a common humanity and deserve a baseline of respect.

Practice tolerance, empathy, and a willingness to learn whenever possible.

In short: Don't be a dick. No name-calling, no ad hominem attacks in general, and step away if you need to.

Think once before you act, twice before you speak, and three times before you post it on the internet.

I agree with you Dion

But you have been here since 2012, why are you speaking of this now??
Just curious.....

It's a reminder, since some of the current members forgot/ignored these rules.

When you say current (not sure if you meant new members only?), i would include all members. I would also include some Moderators as well..

Funny thing is, who really reads the rules of this site?? The other problem is the person has to have common sense on how to treat a person, that doesn't seem to work with some people in this world, but it is nice to know there is a few decent people out there that do..

Great post Dion

Great post Dion

The only time Dion has ever heard 'great' and 'post' in the same sentence, someone was sarcastically calling him a post.

Are you saying Dion is postpubescent
That is very insensitive Meg, and did you get permission from Idol to say anything slandering about Dion, i always thought
that was his job

Lets be real here, Dion may be the only sane one at FST, especially if he had the guts to post a statement like he did

On a sad note:
I like to put out an A B P on Bigboab!! if anyone actually knows him out there, should see if he is ok, he is missed in the Word section

The internet is a trap therefore it's inherently evil. Posts should be appropriately vile in keeping with that.

Coincidentally, Meg also uses the trap/evil/ so it's OK to an asshole as a rationalization of his treatment of women.

I did not have sexual rationalizations with those women...

Just because you used your own hands instead of Cuban cigars, doesn't get you off the hook
