Forum Rules
 

I know I am know angel, but can people take the time to read the forum rules.

The main points I think that need attention are -

Post your topics in the right area
& Dont insult others.


Thanks!

Next time from teacher Sam....

Since when were you responsible for enforcing rules? :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Its just no Mods are online, and I cant write in the rule threads!

I never knew you were a mod Magic :laugh:

...and? Why would those threads need bumping by you? It's up to the mods to judge who's breaking rules, even if they're not online... :laugh2:

I forgot to read the rules whenn I joind. I'll have a look now I hope theres not too manny. btw whith a name like Magic you can wave a wand and turn yourselves into a mod and tell us off :laugh:

I'm not, I secretly own TiBB! :tongue:
lol!

Magic, I think we are not blind, we know there are rules, your idea was not bad but you are not a mod, and it's the mod's job to do that.

Just read all the rules, I was wondring one thng though. How can a picture have a virus? I copied rules nd put them here

Not only is it annoying to read, it disrupts the flow of the forum.

j) Posts which insult or direct profanity towards another member, will immediate be deleted, or edited out. This may lead to a ban.

Failure to abide by any of the above rules may result in a permanent banning from the forum. If you do not agree with any of the above rulings then please contact me and explain your reasoning's, I will then look into the situation. Contact me direct at mark@thisisbigbrother.com

Does it matter if he's reminding people of the rules? At least it's a sign of responsibility...something lacking in a few members.

Why post the rules for bridge? :S

I was wondering why bridge posted out the rules. Seems a bit pointless to me, but ah well :/

If you ask me , one of the things that drags TiBB down is not the abscence of real mods , its these members who act as if they really ARE mods ... the righteous police going around upholding rules and morals in the abscence of the mods. Its really , really annoying.

On another forum I post on, old timers who are not mods regularly instruct new members to read the rules when ever the new poster makes their maiden post.

Upholding of proper decorum and advising of proper etiquette is the responsibility of us all, the mods just happen to have the power to take certain actions us lesser mortals can not.

I dont think that there is anything wrong with gently reminding others that there are rules of the forum. The rules are what make the forum run smoothly.

I think everyone needs to be reminded of the rules every now and then, I dont see why peoples feathers were so ruffled by this thread.

Thread pruned to remove posts not related to this topic.

ye problemn with so many rules is people start depending on the rules. its like nursery school.

when theres not many rules people learn to be independant and self discipline then there would nt be so many childish arguments.

rules r 4 foolz

No, when there's not many rules there's just the same number of rule-breaking without any punishment. :)

ye exactly. like nursery school with punishment, so you end up with no intelligent debaters cause they off looking for freedom of speech.

people who dont n eed to be puinished dont stick around nursery school enviroment so you got to take steps to make debate forums good place for debate - that means free speech.

Magic was only trying to help like..
Don't jump down his throat.
Jessus..

To be fair everyone needs reminding sometimes :nono:

I dont come on here to much these days because everyone has been throwing insults around. Its childish to be fair :sad:

Shut it you slapper.

:shocked:

You tell him Red! Nice to see you back.

How do you know it's n jest? nobody shud call anyone that name
