There are only so many solicitors letters, police requests and irate others you can put up with before having to enforce rules on a forum to try to cut some of it down.

Polluting on-topic threads with NSFW / shock images
I've been annoyed when a decent thread suddenly becomes NSFW.
If the admins or the OP doesn't modify the first post then it can be unexpected and embarrassing. So a good call.
Using others' images without permission
Now in my post I like to link to images showing examples. Picture paints a 100s words and all that. So maybe that'll be harder.
If this is to stop avatars and photo manipulation then can't argue. Using to illustrate a point however needs clarification.
Behaving like the internet is truly anonymous
Well it's not anonymous so get used to it.
Behaving like an idiot for the sake of it
IMHO idiots, like the poor, will always be with us. So some tolerance is required. IMO would depend on context, language and severity or the idiotic behaviour.

I don't really disagree with any of the points, they all make sense, and there is nothing more awkward then trying to explain why there is a picture of a cat giving a BJ to my peers.
Obviously when alone.... ...I care a hell of a lot less, so that's a shame. I'm new here so i still chuckle when people are photo-shopping a forum member and adding dicks ect....Obviously if they were of me, i wouldn't have this opinion. ____________________ "90% of all statistics are made up"

So, who's going to moderate all these new rules ?
It really is a shame, part of what makes BCF so good is the laid back attitute ( 99.9% of the time ) of the mods. It'll be a real shame if they need to start enforcing these rules and banning people just because some arse ( Jive Bunny etc. ) posts a pic of his girlfriend and someone posts a cock on it. Big deal ! It's things like that, that make this place "special"  ____________________ the undemocratically unelected mod of the Scottish section |

In fairness, BCF is pretty heavily moderated in other ways compared to many forums. Tends to be self-policing to a greater or lesser extent and the karma-bot palys its role.
Where else will you find broadly coherent, vaguely grammatical and correctly spelled posts of a largely verbose and clearly composed and self-edited nature?
There is a refreshing lack of flashy banner signatures, uninteligeable txt spk, three letter replies and sextruple nested quotes.
It also pisses me off when people post NSFW images in a thread. The karma system could probably deal with this by attrition but there isn't really a negative karma rating that is particularly appropriate, possibly off topic? Maybe there should be a stronger rated button which triggers that post to be hidden if more than a couple of people rate it as NSFW? Again, all admin time I suppose. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

We already have neg ratings that are not even remotely matched in effect by pos ratings. BCF is designed, in the karma dept, to reward negativity. ____________________ "There's the horizon! Ride hard, ride fast and cut down all who stand in your way!" |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 13 years, 22 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
