Galeoth's Sanctuary

---------------------------------------------------------
I feel that our forum lacks seriousness (or maybe there is none
to begin with) so I think it is worth a shot to bring some
thought-provoking topics to the site and see if interesting
events pop up.
Since I plan to make this [s]non-existent (yet)[/s] sub-forum a
place for those wishing to engage in serious Internet
discussions, I would like to present a few rules to keep the
intended atmosphere and prevent this from withering into the
regular off-topic.
#1/ You must use proper and formal English when posting. You are
not allowed to use shorthand words and phrases (ur, u, atm, btw,
yo, lmao, rofl,etc.). If you do not have the time to put some
actual thoughts to your posts, then don't post. You don't need
perfect English but your posts must be comprehensible, clear and
not obscured by countless typos and grammar flaws. However,
proper English is always recommended.
#2/ You are not allowed to flame, insult, offend others in your
posts. Wise gentlemen discuss their different points of view
concerning a particular topic, not shoving them into others'
face. Failing to comply to this rule means that from that point
onwards, all your future posts in these topics will be deleted
(I will enforce that myself). You will also receive punishments
based on the site rules. If you are able to provide an
alternative interpretation of your posts and that everything was
a misunderstanding or a failure to communicate, your posts will
not be considered violations. The enforcers are bound to consult
you before a post deletion.
#3/ Irrelevant, off-topic posts/materials will be deleted with a
warning given to the violator(s). Three consecutive violations
and you will receive punishments based on the extent of your
actions.
#4/ All posts must follow the site rules. Violatiors will be
punished accordingly.
These rules should be the basic ones. I will revise and update
them should the need arise. [s]I am also thinking of a method to
grant this sub-forum's membership to other members.[/s]
Nevermind this.
For now, this sub-forum will be called Galeoth's Sanctuary.
Feel free to discuss below.

Nice idea. Now we need something to talk about. Any suggestions?

New topics will be opened with special titles like this:
[Galeoth's Sanctuary] <Topic Name> to distinguish them from
regular off-topic ones.
It would be even better to have a sub-forum reserved for this
but it is entirely up to you.

Ok, write a description about the section and I'll create one.

How about this?
Galeoth's Sanctuary
A sub-forum dedicated to serious discussions and debate. You are
required to have a membership to post in this forum.

How do you do that membership? Bah, no need to. I think just
everyone can post there but really have to be serious with their
post. Or maybe a punishment if trolling / doing stupid enough
posts.
Restrictions are stupid. Hive's section once had that
restriction and it was so stupid.

Then you will be the one to enforce serious punishment then? I
will handle the small ones.
Rules updated.

since this thread ain't IN that very subforum, i guess this tone
is allowed here.
i gotta ask, did the bias thread inspire u to do this or what?
the timing at least seems too much of a coincidence, unless of
course you hated what i said back there. nonetheless, i think
the choice for name is very good.
this sounds pretty kay on paper, but i'm just concerned about
the following:
[quote]Failing to comply to this rule means that from that point
onwards, all your future posts in these topics will be deleted
(I will enforce that myself).[/quote]
1 small misinterpretation and u'll be cursed for life? it is
possible. while the writer should type his text so that there
isn't the slightest of possibility of that text interpretated
incorrectly, u gotta ask urself, do i have to fear for something
like that simply coz the rules were made tough? i've personally
already experienced such, that my post wasn't understood the way
i wanted it to be, and it was removed. it is like banning bots;
u have to be 100% sure that the person IS botting and not just
ban him coz his appearance was bot-like.

You can always explain to Doom/Aero a misunderstanding by PM or
in the chat(when it's back, of course). The problems would be a
clear disrespect, that also includes your "u"s and "coz"s(I know
you wouldn't put this in the actual forum). About these posts
that weren't understood, weren't they that "tauren conspiracies"
that Aero mentioned? What was misunderstood there :P?
And Doom, since I saw nothing on the rules, I'll keep using
emoticons in these serious conversations [-). Why? Because I
can!
