Your first comment that said you were 15 implied I was wrong because you weren't 16 and therefore not looking after your own interests - but I wasn't wrong because you think you would pass for 16 - so therefore you were looking after your own interests!

Fair enough then. But I don't think I would pass, I know I would pass.

Jack's one of the more mature youngsters here. So he can stay whatever. And Jords, Harry and Braden. There are exceptions.

If I were to add any rules, I probably would bring in a rule against discussing politics and religion, as from experience elsewhere they engender a lot of heat and people get passionate about them.

On the science based forum I am a moderator on, we have just such a rule with a few exceptions but even then these exceptions are closely watched by the mods.

Also I would bring in a life ban for those signing up to more than one account, especially if they are doing it to get around a suspension or ban. On the other forum we call that sock puppetry.

Thanks Sticks and now onto the weather...

That is just silly. I like making Theists look like phools.

Well I addressed the question in the OP based on my experience from elsewhere.

There are some rules there that I would not bring here, as they are not appropriate, such as those concerning what we call "Against the Main Stream" when posters try and convince us that accepted science is wrong on a point.

What an absurd suggestion. Heat and passion in the Serious Debate forum is a bad thing now? That's what it's all about. I have very, very rarely seen trouble between members debating if Christ really did fly up into the sky [lol] but plenty in General Chat, Chat & Games and ... well ... all the other sections really.
