mgoetze Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hi, 1. You will not engage in conduct or post any material that is [...] or otherwise in violation of ANY law. Does this mean I am not allowed to make negative comments about the Beloved Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or to encourage women to show their hair in public? Please clarify. 1. Keep posts on-topic and in the correct boards. We will move/delete threads that are in an improper place. This makes it easier for people to find the information they want. Uhhuh... I am looking forward to this... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, maybe they should get the lawyers out and make it all legalese. "you may not break any law of US or international law" Maybe they should get really specific and polite "Please no terrorism in the forums." I don't know. The fact that every forum on the planet has to have terms of service that say "Don't be rude." is a kind of commentary of its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please clarify.I think that is correct - it would be in breach of the second quote that you mentioned. BTW, congratulations on your elevation to a reputation of "1".

mgoetze Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I think that is correct - it would be in breach of the second quote that you mentioned. Well, I could encourage women to show their hair at bridge tournaments in the "Offline Bridge" forum. Talk of the Beloved Leader would have to be restricted to the "Water Cooler", but I assume the same rules apply there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Need to be a bit careful. Fred may get an invite to play in the Pyongyang Bowl, and we wouldn't want him disappearing without trace when he gets there. BTW, commiserations on your relegation of reputation back to "0". Welcome to the great unwashed.[EDIT] Oh, I think I see - it looks like the reputation thing is on a post by post basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the great unwashed.[EDIT] Oh, I think I see - it looks like the reputation thing is on a post by post basis In a player's profile you can see someone's total reputation, i.e. the sum from all their posts. Mine is actually 2 right now, but I can't figure out which other post of mine has been upvoted. It would be nice if one could search for posts by the number of positive votes they've attained.

Wow, I didn't realize giving the +1 to that post was such a huge thing. I'm used to YouTube and Digg where people +1 and thumbs up all the time. It definitely deserved the +1 though. Cheers.

Does this mean I am not allowed to make negative comments about the Beloved Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or to encourage women to show their hair in public? Please clarify. I am still waiting for an answer on this. 1. Keep posts on-topic and in the correct boards. We will move/delete threads that are in an improper place. This makes it easier for people to find the information they want. Uhhuh... I am looking forward to this... I am starting to disbelieve this.

Some US laws make you follow foreign laws which have been repealed in their home country such as you import from Honduras- you must supply in cardboard boxes. Some fishermen got jailed for 3 years for breaching that law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
