Title: Remember the rules!
Post by: aitm on June 06, 2013, 02:50:02 PM
Do to a recent thread (now deleted) please remember that at no time do we allow the posting of PM messages!

Also we do not allow posting any information about any of our members without their permission. This would include posting someones FB page without their permission.

Again, and as always abuse of the PM system should be addressed to any of us.

Please keep this in mind.

Would it be a sensible idea to include in the rules something about "call-out" threads. I've heard various mods say that they're not allowed over my time here, but it doesn't actually mention them in the rules.

For example, a public thread calling someone out and getting really messy could theoretically be made without breaching any of the current rules ie. posting public information nor posting PMs. I know the mods typically just deal with these threads anyway, but still. Just a thought.

They don't really happen very often so we've never made a specific rule. It basically fits under the trolling rule. Unless it gets really nasty it's not likely to get more than a warning to cool it down and locking the thread.
