We have just installed Rule #16.

Please read this, folks.
An axiom is a proposition that defeats its opponents by the fact that they have to accept it and use it in the process of any attempt to deny it. - Ayn Rand

Good rule. Let's not consider "context" on that one.  ||cheesy||

Haven't mods used PMs as evidence before in other rule breaks?

There was not a rule against posting pm's, though it was considered a shltty thing to do.  And, if a member is being threatened in pm's, it should be reported.

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.
You just have to know who you are and stay true to that.
So I'm going to keep fighting for people the only way I ever knew how.

maybe we should keep fly on the forum... He seems to know whats wrong with it, exploits it, then we are encouraged to change or make new rules.

That's typically how it works.  The rules will work just fine until someone comes along and exploits their weaknesses.  Then we tweak the rules and wait for the next person to find more holes.  If Fly weren't doing this just to be nasty, we might thank him.

It's not like there's ever a shortage of trolls and provocateurs on the internet. Keeping one around specifically to let it troll is giving it a bit too much power, imo.

Change or die.

 ||huh||

I was actually making a comic book reference, but do go on with your Hitler analogy. I'm curious now.

Goobatron

Well, change or die seems a bit harsh words. How many people here would know it was a comic book reference and not just you saying "Change or die"?

Kerlyssa

How many people would seriously consider that I was telling the mods to go kill fly? Or that fly would die if banned?

One, apparently.  ||grin||

It's like saying tits or GTFO....it's not literal.
I agree with Kerl, repeat offenders change or go somewhere else.... ||cheesy||

I use the term 'forum die' to express that concept.  Because of Gooba and Trevor...
