AH of course knew his threads would get closed. Anyone who has lurked or posted here for a while knows that MarkG will not tolerate ANY positive discussion of the FRY of Macedonia on Apolyton.

What concerns me is that new posters will not know this and may therefore end up with their threads being closed and offending the great MarkG.

I therefore propose that we amend the FAQ from

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


to read

quote:
XI) What can't I post?
Insults, flames, hatred comments, spamming, advertisements are an abuse of your priviledge to post and can result to a penalty. In addition ANY positive discussion of the FRY of Macedonia on Apolyton will result in your thread being closed or deleted.


Please can we have a serious discusion of this suggestion rather than this thread descending into a spamfest. I am fully aware of
quote:
XVII) Hey, I don't like these rules!
We're always open to criticism, but noone is forcing you to post on our forums.
(added with v.1.5, 7/August/99)
We were a bit reluctant to say it in this past, but this a privately owned forum, not a public square. It is our right to accept or not accept certain kind of discussion or certain kind of users. We will be seting the rules and enforce them as we see fit. We believe in freedom of speech, but again, this is not a public square(there are laws that apply to public squares too, but that's another issue ). We hope that you understand our position.


All I am seeking is a simple addition to the faq to prevent new posters unwittingly crossing an acceptable line for the Admins.
