Know what I just noticed. There are either no forum rules or they were never communicated.

We've never needed ones before, since everyone was pretty cool and civil about things. But because of the excessive spam and various other things, stricter rules are being discussed.

Make sure the rules are enforced, too.
You never even responded to the PM I sent you about the flame war going on.

Rules do need to be put into place.

Makes me wonder why there's 20 moderators when none of them do anything.
I don't know. Forums aren't that hard to run. I ran one that had around 500 members and I was the only admin/mod. Things were fine.

Then good, go have fun in your own forum. Just because I didn't respond to your one response, and you say I or any of the other mods do nothing? Well done sir, I'm sure you do a better job. I honestly could care less. My job as moderator is to just make sure everything runs smoothly, and when it doesn't, I fix it. Other than that, I let the people talk about what they want.

Wow. Haha, kinda funny how my comment above triggered that kinda response.
I was just saying having a ton of moderators is pointless when a forum is as small as this.
And if that's your philosophy, why are you trying to make rules? I'm pretty sure that would cut back on people talking about what they wanted...

No, the rules would probably be no flaming, no spamming, no sexual harassment, etc. Well, except in the forum chat.
If you like you're forum so much, fine, go over there, we're not stopping you. If you dislike how scnoi runs this, go ahead a leave.

I just used my forum as an example. Chill. Yeesh.
Those sound like good rules.

Sorry, it sounded like you were saying "Oh, my forum is so much better than this one." Or something like that.

Nah, they're two totally different things. I couldn't really compare them.
It'd be like comparing apples to chairs, or something ridiculous, yet intriguing, like that.

mmmm.. chaairs.. Oh sorry.. Ahem. Ah! I have an idea! What if we created a thread or sub-board JUST for spamming and Flaming. That way they can flame and spam... and flame all they want! It's like two guys going at it in a seperate sound-proof room where you don't have to hear about it! But of course there is windows to watch the show if you wish.

And if that's your philosophy, why are you trying to make rules? I'm pretty sure that would cut back on people talking about what they wanted... It's worked so far, only recently have I thought we needed any sort of rules. And by your post above, it sounded like, "O, I can do a better job then the mods here." That's why I responded the way I did. Chief, those are some very good rules. I send you a PM later about it. As for the flame board idea, sorry, but it is not a good idea. I know arguments are going to spill over into other forums. Plus, I don't want anybody to turn away from these forums because of a personal attack said about them. It's bad enough as is.

Ever since the creation of the spam board and use of the chat room there are no problems in the forum. The spam board was so things will run smoothly and i think the chat room has allowed that to. Now while terrible things are said in there, it has helped the proboards function better. I think MOST of the problems we had not so long ago have been resolved.

Can I make a request?
The forum chat has no rules.
Bgiblnid, those are rules that are being discussed. On a side note, proboards doesn't allow uncensored porn. And the harassment is kind of like flaming.

forum chat has no rules, originally it did but i honestly gave up and i think scnoi doesn't care unless its just complete persecution, most of the time when we have all the stuff there, its just joking b/c we all make fun of each other.
