Community News: Updates to the Forum Guidelines

To the top with you!
I think that the meme "There, I fixed it for you" indicates that a quote has been changed to make a point. This type of comment is parody, and should be protected. When the change to a quote is obvious, highlighted, and indicated by the poster, they shouldn't get a probation.

We can probably make an exception for cases where it's obvious that it's been altered, light-hearted and not likely to offend the quoted player. The kind of situations it's aimed at is when two people are debating something and one of them changes the quote of the other to manipulate the argument.
get the feeling that a certain forum poster spurred this latest announcement? after his melt down the other day

Hey guys!

It's now been 7 weeks since we released the new Forum Guidelines. Things seem to be settling down now so we thought this would be a good time to review how everything has been going.

We've noticed a positive shift in the forum atmosphere and are seeing a lot of good discussions happening. We're mostly happy with where things have settled but still feel that some further changes could make things even better.

In light of this, I've made the following updates to the forum guidelines:

  • Changed 'Other Guidelines' to 'Forum Etiquette' section.
  • Added 'Posting Private Information' guideline.
  • Added 'Negatively Affecting the Community' clause.
  • Added 'Thread Necro' guideline (Originally covered under 'Misleading Comments').
  • Changed 'Promotion without Authorisation' to 'Advertising without Authorisation' and re-worded definition.
  • Reworded the Non Constructive Posting Guideline to be clearer and more flexible.
  • Reworded the definition of Spam.

These aren't drastic changes, but should hopefully make the intentions behind the guidelines clearer. I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to talk with the team and I about your experiences with the Forum Guidelines. These discussions have been immensely helpful in making sure that the guidelines settle in a place that is healthy for the community as a whole.

I hope that we can continue these discussions as we go! As always, please feel free to contact me any time if you have any concerns or feedback about moderation. I'm always happy to hear from you.
