Don't have rules.
It gives trolls something to argue about.

Have very broad vague guidelines.

eg ....... 'If your posts are abusive, offtopic or do not contribute positively to a discussion they may be deleted.'

' ..... If we delete too many of your posts, we will suspend you for a while.'

Not a bad idea, Mr Cyclist. Do you agree the way it is done now is just not working or in the interests of the Forum?

Yeh, broad guidelines is the way: otherwise you'll waste your life administrating an internet site!

Move on from that point, Mr Wars.

I am happy to respond to any questions Mothra has.

Your attempt at intervention has been noted, you are a good wingman. Cool

Why would i have any questions for you? I don't find you even remotely interesting.

You invite a response dopey then you are very likely to get one.

See, just like that one. It ain't difficult to work out.

What does your response have to do with whether or not i want to ask you any questions?

Think now.

You post in reply to me, I am very likely to reply, that may or may not include answering a question.

It ain't difficult, I am sure if you furrow your brow and think hard a light bulb may, that is a provisional may, may go off.

Let me know if you get a *ding* moment as the light bulb illuminates the cavern within your echoing skull. Wink

Cods, i go by how people treat me. You should know that by now.

well in that case let others decide if they have been abused....you often come in to protect greg or js or at least side with them..when there is a distinct case against them Sad

now you have told us the only person that interests you is you....we do at least know where we stand

when you claim no one stands up for you when the word rape comes up.... Roll Eyes

I presume you will accept their reason being!

[i]I go by how people treat me...

not anyone else..[/i]

I think its called a level playing field...

No Cods. I will call foul. As i have called foul with your behaviour. As i called foul on AiA.

But i don't let it wound me.

I expect bad behaviour. I am not disappointed.

But i don't let it wound me.

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

Yes, that four would be included among the term 'prolific posters.' There are very many others.

You're not getting it, Aussie. Secret has a much more fulfilling life than all of us. That's the point.

Can't you tell how happy he is?

I think conspiracy theories do make people happy don't they: or is that being crazy?

no body asked that..

have you ever reported anyone...ooops yes you did mention one person... what about others??.......

if someone called you a whore and hinted at it every time they posted to you or about you....what would you think about that?..

why do you expect bad behavior are you suggesting its not because of anything you say?....just that they are bad people in general... Sad

you must meet different members to me....

Like, incessantly. Most of what you post on here is drama. I suspect that's what you get out of PA. It's all drama. Like i said, if you've got a glass jaw, don't lead with your chin. I suspect you'll not consider that though.

That was a question dopey. Liable to get a response.

Not hearing the *ding* are ya. Grin

Maybe the waves of those echoes will recombine and like a surf come crashing down into a flicker of comprehension, a distant dim candle in the cavern of your skill. Grin

Given the absence of all GMods except Vic (at the moment) that might not work.

Perhaps allow a GMod do his thing, make a decision alone (even execute a ban) but an automatic review is then done in a Senate (or whatever name) made up of elected Members....say maximum of five?

Ok. That can work.

I say that 5 people be elected for a term of 6 months with no possibility of re-election for a successive term [edit: I mean a consecutive term. Members will be re-eligible after that).

How would the voting work?
