Or it would make everyone leave. We're going for 'conducive to polite discussion', not 'unworkable and overly harsh'.

I wouldn't leave if that was to be imposed on the Org now.

Make a super strict swearing policy (e.g. no censored words, no asterisks or use of $,%,^,& and ! to hide swearing, no "bad" words, no words that could be perceived as being bad or insulting in any way, no words that you would not want a three year old to know etc.)
Anybody who breaks this policy gets the post in question edited and a "swear" type of warning point (that is two warning points).
Make these rules extremely clear by posting announcements of them in every forum/sub-forum

This would stop all swearing or use of rude words by anybody and would probably cure the current problems.
That is good IMO.. I don't like it how someone gets off for saying Hell in asteriks, but I get a point for saying poop. Still angry over that. Plus No Aruging with the Mods unless you got a Vaild Case. No Spamming at all. etc....

That's true. It depend, however, on what you language put before the word "hell".

You could always send non-perishable food like camel jerky.

You obviously are allowed to say "Poop." "Increments" or "waste-products" are preferred, though.

I would. Draconian rules = sucks. Heavy force to "solve problems" = crude, macho, Stalinist ways of escalating existing problems. Meaningless, overly harsh rules = very, very annoying. Being imposed on me = goodbye, site.

I would lock and hunt down everyone responsible for quote function RAPES such as the ones in this gem:

Also, anyone who has the title of "Senior Member" will be demoted to Urine Wench for a decade (for such an infraction).

Aww, come on. If you can't follow the quotation trains, there's no way you can follow the tortured logic within them. :bounce:

I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not want to go through that tired mess. I abandon threads that go into that direction because they lead to nothing because they usually start from nothing.

Don't you like my idea for a title?

Well clicking on the links those bots hosts isn't exactly the smartest thing to do...

That said, I understand the normal Spyware/adware removers didn't do the trick ?

Re: What would you do if you were Forum Admin?

Create a "gulag" usergroup, and then proceed to have fun with the admin panel. After that and tea, I'd email some advertising "companies" for some quick cash, and then disappear into the dephts of the Internets. :crowngrin:

I'd rake in extra revenue by devoting half the forum to porn sites.

Re: What would you do if you were Forum Admin?

The URL avatars seem to be too big at present, otherwise I might turn them on and turn the others off. If they were scaled down a bit they'd be ok. I think it would be better if the URL avatar replaced the forum avatar instead of being additional, though I do understand why it doesn't and why the admin have configured it how it is now.
