By being so specific, people can point at them and say stupid things like.. "well, this isn't exactly covered, or this is different" Plus, there are many things that we have probably not even seen or run across yet that would be against the rules. So the key rules are to use common sense... and more importantly, follow mod instructions. " Restating what Ming says, a new form of spam

I can't help it if Ming agrees with me.

I suggest all the rules be scrapped and replaced with 2 simple rules:
1. Common Sense.
2. Ming.

hehe well said indeed

on the topic though, it is with welcome relief that as a father, I know that this site is safe for my little ones to wander through and enjoy..

ok, so maybe they are not all that welcome in hangman with their illogical guesses, even if they have won several rounds and I must admit they have been duely warned to stay out of the OT, as it can be a strange and bizzare place even for the most experienced of gamer

the way this family site is set up and looked over is good value, and in this day and age, where any search engine can bring forth porn in so many ways, I be glad Apolyton stands strong

yes the rules may be a tad obscure, yet it is all pretty plain to see that this be a family friendly community

Next query about "The ADM question" - December 4.

How about a sub-clause to XI -

quote: XI) What can't I post? Insults, flames, hatred comments, spamming, advertisements or anything are an abuse of your priviledge to post and can result to a penalty

quote: XIa) Restricted subject matter includes anything likely to be deemed inappropiate or offensive by a moderator.

Could work?

I think we have successfully concluded that the rules are fine as they are and that common sense is used for things not covered in the rules.

Nothing in Qilue's profile indicates that "she is a she". If I'm mistaken in my presumption that you're male, Qilue, I do apologize. Send me a PM to this effect and I'll correct my post above accordingly (and your title too if you like).
