Given the recent spate of bannings at OzPolitic, I felt that I should come up with my own rules.
Please provide feedback, suggestions and opinions. -------------------- Rules for OzPolitic:
Rules prescribed for the provision of debate, conversation and argumentation on OzPolitic forums. Rules for banning members on OzPolitic. -------------------- OzPolitic values freedom of speech and provides a platform for the free expression of speech about any issue. People may, subject to the rules prescribed below, discuss or raise any issue they wish.
Any person who:
1) blatantly vilifies, insults or profanes another forum member using expletive language, and, does not, within forty-eight hours of making said post, apologize for or retract said post, or express regret for making such post; in all which cases to be done publicly on the Forum,
shall be banned from OzPolitic for a period of seven days. This provision generally applies in cases where the vilification or insult is blatant and continual, and takes course over several posts within a forty-eight-hour period; and said comments do not relate to the topic of the thread. A simple ‘once-off’ comment does not usually warrant a ban.
Any person who:
1) insults or vilifies personally and directly the family and/or member of said family of any forum member, notwithstanding that said forum member brings up the issue of their family,
shall be banned from OzPolitic for a period of three months. Said provision applies in cases where another forum member intentionally and blatantly insults the family or a member of the family of any forum member. This applies irrespective of whether or not a forum member has raised the issue of their family.
Any person who:
1) posts any nude image (which reveals in nude, either one of both of a person’s ‘private parts’), whether male or female,
shall be banned for a period of seven days. This applies only to adult photos.
Any person who
1) posts any nude or pornographic image of an under-aged person
shall be banned indefinitely.
Any person who:
1) reveals any personal information, including addresses, phones numbers, emails, the real names etc. of another forum member without the latter’s consent,
shall be banned from OzPolitic indefinitely.
