    Default Members debaters rules:

    1. While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. I know there is a lot of gray area in this one, some examples of this are: Direct insults to another poster, racist remarks, links to insults or racist remarks, links to videos directed to another poster etc. You will be pointed for this rule violation. The thread may be closed or removed if too many members are violating this rule.

    2. Debating is supposed to be fun and challenging. If you find yourself getting angry or upset, it is best to just leave the thread instead of posting in anger.

    3. Any implication/ suggestion of violence against another member will result in banning.

    4. Do not gossip or spread rumors about other members. Points and possible banning will result.

    5. Remember, if your only reply is to call someone a name, you have just lost the debate. That poster may have deserved the title that was bestowed, but by saying it, makes you look just as bad. Take the high road and illustrate how the comment is dumb without insulting the poster who made the comment.

    I like this section of our forum. I enjoy the debate and want to keep this section open. Members may end up being closed if things don't get a lot more civil, however.

    Please report posts that violate any forum rules. I try to scan all new posts regularly, but can't be everywhere at once. I do get reported posts fairly quickly, so I can act on them.

    Thanks so much for making this a team effort. Let's prove that we can all play nice together despite our differing ideology.

    A clarification request ... who decides what constitutes 'racist' remarks, as opposed to topics that may simply contain a racial component ?

    Good question. Here's another one - Who decides whether something is "insulting" ? In the past, more than one moderator, gave out points based on their OWN personal political and philosophical predilictions. I'd rather not, but I could name a couple of examples. We also had many cases where the "liberals " were free to be insulting and when the more conservative responded in kind ; they got the warnings; points and suspensions and not the original instigators.

    Me personally ? I follow Melonie's example and just ignore the insults and the name-calling. I don't even bother "reporting" posts that are clearly over the line.

    I'm all for civil discourse and basic rules of posting but I'd like to see them applied EQUALLY, across the board, regardless of the poster's pov.

    I thought the Member Board were set up for no moderation. Not that there is anything wrong with that. We closed down Political Poo for insults etc and directed those type posts to this board. Now we might just as well re-open PP.

    You know, an insult has to be responded to before it has any effect. It just reflects the poster, not the insultee. IMO

    just a point for debate
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    not want to speak for Pryce or any other moderators, but I'm reasonably sure that the potential liability issues involved in operating a website with 'racist' content can no longer allow a totally unmoderated situation to exist.

    You know, an insult has to be responded to before it has any effect
    that may be true in terms of thread evolution, but I can assure you that it is NOT true on a personal level.

    1) probably true

    2) i'm mature enough that only insults that hit home can bother me, and I won't let that happen online. But maybe so not for others.

    That would be me. I'll base my decision on complaints from sw members and the negative connotations of the post.

    That'd be me, again. An insult is an insult. We toss around the term "tin foil hat" in this forum a lot. I would not consider that an insult unless it is directed to an individual as opposed to an entire group. Insults that are of a general nature, such as the "Hollywood elite" aren't a problem. The ones that I'll point for are insults directed at a member or members, such as "Paris is an idiot".

    I'll try my best to be even handed, but we all have our biases. I also wanted to point out that being insulting in general isn't the problem, it is being insulting to other members that is the problem.

    Help keep me honest! I'm open to being called out, if I'm showing favoritism.

    You have probably already seen some changes going on with the forum. I think Members will be gone in favor of another more advanced style of groups, but for now it will fill that void. I'd like to see it remain open, but members may have to be closed if we don't all play nice together.

    This area was originally developed to be an unmoderated section of the forum, but lately things have gotten too heated for it to remain so. So lets have fun but also keep it civil.

    Thanks!

    Paris, Thanks. I see; I just didn't know about the change. Presidential politics does that to people.

    I just really hope that GW Bush is not a member; I've surely insulted him a lot.

    There are 7 moderators, however several are limited on time. We are looking to add a few more at this time.
    We all imagine ourselves the agents of our destiny, capable of determining our own fate. But have we truly any choice in when we rise, or when we fall, or does a force larger than ourselves bid us our direction. Is it evolution that takes us by the hand, does Science point our way, or is it God who intervenes keeping us safe.

    So much struggle for meaning, for purpose. And in the end, we find it only in each other. Our shared experience of the fantastic. And the mundane. The simple human need to find a kindred, to connect. And to know in our hearts... that we are not alone.
