__________________________________________________________
1. First, we’re going to be moving matchmaker/ditching/tanking threads to the Rants section. They’ll still be available for debate- civil or (within moderation) uncivil. Not a whole lot different from the status quo, so those concerned with the liberty of speaking their mind do have an outlet- while those who prefer to avoid that sort of thing can still enjoy the forums.
2. Second, we’ll be requiring “inflammatory topics” to be posted in the Rants section. This includes clubbing, matchmaking, and tanking/ditching discussions. Threads that bend to these topics or are hijacked may end up in Rants, or see the hijacked part moved and the original thread remain, at admin’s discretion.
3. Third, we will be a little more active about rules enforcement and forum curation. Frankly speaking, having a score of threads all essentially about the same topic is not unlike noise pollution, and drowns out some of the forum’s utility. We will step up our vigilance for merging like threads. That’s something we should have been doing more of, and have not. This way everyone still gets to have their say, even if it does get moved to an ongoing conversation.
4. Next, we’ll be taking a more active role in enforcing decorum. Flaming and trolling are already against the forum’s longstanding rules, but we’ve been fairly lax in enforcement. This doesn’t mean we’ll be putting the jackboot down. But it does mean that serial offenders will get a warning PM a little sooner.
5. Finally, there is also an update to the infraction process. Violation of the forum rules will get a PM from the admin team. A second violation within a 30-day window will result in a one-week ban. A third violation makes the ban permanent. 30 days of respect of the rules will wipe the slate clean. For the overwhelming majority of forum posters, this will have no effect. For the few who enjoy playing the wind-up merchant, it's a word of caution. We cannot allow the quality of this forum to degrade for the amusement of a very few.
The overall impact of this initiative is to make a forum that everyone can take something from, and feels welcome to contribute to. We don’t want to be heavy-handed, but rather steer things onto the right course. This is a great community, and we want to help keep it so. As always, we on the administration team understand that this place is nothing without all of you, and we appreciate your understanding and support.

These rules will be updated as more are remembered and/or created.
Profanity (Swearing)
If you receive a Fuzzy Bunny on one of your posts, don't take it personally. It is just the censor bot doing its job. We welcome open and frank discussion but because this wiki is visited by people from many different cultures and age groups and we have decided to err on the side of caution.
