    where are the site's rules 'n regs?

    Discussion in 'Support & Feedback' started by mammamaia, Jun 1, 2007.

    i can't seem to find any... am i looking at 'em and not seeing 'em, or what?:confused:

    and, if they exist, do they include a clear notice to not post any part of any copyrighted work that is not the poster's own, without citing the source and having permission to do so [= the dreaded 'p' word]?

    love and hugs, a puzzled maia

    We have some very basic rules in our FAQ and a notice about copyrighted work when registering.

    I'll try to come up with a very clear rules page in then next day or two.

    It had to do with Tardaggon (I can't spell his name.)So, just drop the subject, okay?

    *sigh...*
    Look, Ferret was right, so before I drop the subject as I should, I want to make things clear.
    What I was referring to was the fact that every time you and Targaddon crossed paths, the following ensued:

    "Opinion."
    "Polite stating that your opinion is hopelessly wrong and I am right."
    "Even politer way of saying that you're a big stupid moron and I am far holier than thou."
    "Ingratiatingly courteous and condescending joke."
    "Fake-sounding statement that makes it sound like there's actually a chance we could be friends, even though we both know we'd rather throw acid at each other in a suicide pact first."
    Around that time, the topic withers and dies.

    You're probably going to do another one of your polite "shut up and die, please and thank you, hugs and kisses" responses to this post, but I want you to know- I think you're a fine person. Targaddon was fine too. But whenever you two got in the same topic, you seemed to just descend from your levels.
    I'm sure Targaddon would have responded that yes, he had posted some grammar rules up from that page, if you had given him the chance. Instead, you did what members have done to me- jumped the gun and tried to get him canned up before he had a chance to explain himself. Did he ever even state that he had written those rules? I don't think he did, but I can't prove it- because you overreacted and had all the evidence deleted.

    Please think next time. You're a smart person.
