Rules:
Clearly your rewording of my post's are flames, and insults and are an abuse of your priviledges. More over you did not start the thread and clearly you are the only one NOT seeing the humor and calling it spam.
Clearly no words needed to be censored so tell me why you not only completely changed my words, but also added your own insults, spam, flames to my post...
I see no where in here does it say you have the right to: reword non-offensive words, flame, spam, or alter a person's thread to suit your own needs, ego, and insults...YOU Solver?
Now I expect unless this was simply a direct assult on me personly Solver that you edit all, what you call "pictures", smilleys actually from all and every thread. I expect to see the words " More of such and such's spam" In every and all such "smiley" "picture" post's. As you are aware there are many of them. This is the first and only time I have ever seen you do this to anyone...So post your NEW RULES be fair. Let the rest know they can not post humorous comments and pictures in other threads. And warn them you will be rewording thier what you call spam to your own insultive, flaming, spam.....
I injected humor to a thread with the rest of them, you single me out that is a flame...When do you get banned...
It is your right to deem it as such...is it your right to insult, flame and spam the thread too?
Thanks for the input Mark
We here as Solver states have invited this type of clear the air and the rules post's. As he points out we are like a community here and prefer to have things on the up and up. Personaly I would rather openly discuss this here with him than file a complaint against him. He is a damn fine moderator and is willing to clear the air which he has done. This way Mark we all that post here know where we stand, collectively not behind closed doors.
I would agree Solver with your points, I disagree with the method used. Please just delete the post's you deem "spam" Flaming was uncalled for as was the rewording of my post's.
Thanks for taking the time to resolve this in the "PBEM" way.
Respectfully Yours

XI) What can't I post?
Insults, flames, hatred comments, spamming, advertisements are an abuse of your priviledge to post and can result to a penalty

XIII) Why do you censor certain words?
Because there are lots of people(including us) who don't like reading these kinds of words. The list of censored words may vary depending on the way people use the forums

XV) Which are the penalties?
The administrators have the choice of a simple warning, to a disablement of someone's login(allowing to read, not allowing to post) for a short or infinite period, to baning any access to the site for a short or infinite period. The administrators may ask from the members to decide on the kind of penalty in a certain case, but they are not obligated to.
(added with v.1.5, 7/August/99)
The third time someone loses his ability to post for something on the forums will be the last (the disablement will be permanent). In more serious circumstances, the first disablement could also be permanent.

We're always open to criticism, but noone is forcing you to post on our forums.
(added with v.1.5, 7/August/99)
We were a bit reluctant to say it in this past, but this a privately owned forum, not a public square. It is our right to accept or not accept certain kind of discussion or certain kind of users. We will be seting the rules and enforce them as we see fit. We believe in freedom of speech, but again, this is not a public square(there are laws that apply to public squares too, but that's another issue ). We hope that you understand our position.

XIX) What happens if there is an abuse of the title system?
To avoid abuse of the title system there are the following rules:
a) spamming(=posting continuous one letter/ word/ phrase/ whatever posts): -20% of post count
b) disablement for one week(for whatever reason): -10% of post count(2 weeks, -20%, etc)
c) club threads(e.g. emperor thread only, etc): thread closed. starter gets -10% of post count
d) post count threads(e.g. "let's see if can get to 500' threads): thread closed. starter gets -10% of post count
one's status might even be changed to "village idiot" if he really acts like one to get to a higher level

This is clearly off-topic
It is your right to deem it as such...is it your right to insult, flame and spam the thread too?
blackice, for someone who is reading the faq you are certainly unpleasently surprising, as you ought to know that this forum is not the place to complain about moderators' decisions....
