spartak: Of course you would be, and no, I am not one.
I just meant that if the mods have a rule to point to, it would make it easier to settle it if an argument should appear. I see no reason not to include it.

On the other hand, praxis has worked pretty well so far. Besides Markos seems utterly reluctant to even discuss it. And there´s no reason to force the issue, really.
Yes, I am a flip-floper

True
Argument???? This is not a democracy... You can think you are right all you want, but it won't make one bit of a difference if a mod disagreesI just meant that if the mods have a rule to point to, it would make it easier to settle it if an argument should appear. I see no reason not to include it.
To restate the issue as it has been discussed many times... There is no way the rules can cover EVERYTHING... By being so specific, people can point at them and say stupid things like.. "well, this isn't exactly covered, or this is different" Plus, there are many things that we have probably not even seen or run across yet that would be against the rules.
So the key rules are to use common sense... and more importantly, follow mod instructions.Keep on Civin'

True enough... and believe me when I say the mods understand that fact 100%Originally posted by Dauphin
Know your place Ming. MarkG or DanQ could tell a mod to go jump if they wanted to.
However, MarkG and DanQ are excellent owners to work for. They let us do our jobs and don't really second guess us... mostly because we all understand the way they want the site to run. I would like to think that we earned their trust over time...
If there is ever a problem, they will always listen to ALL sides of a story before making a decision... They know how sometimes, we have to make a decision quickly... And they also know that we follow whats going on more than they can... When we make mistakes, we correct them ourselves as soon as we can. If they think we are mistaken, they let us know, and let us deal with making the correction. Very seldom have they had to take things into their own hands.
People will never universally agree on anything... but overall, we try to be consistent. Since "opinion" is part of the moderation process... each mod is a little different on how they handle things. Rah uses a more subtle approach... UR closes threads... I Delete threads... and MTG just bans everybody and sorts out the innocents later

Re: Rule change?
If you start specifying all rules there are always smartasses who will enjoy abusing any gaps. Better to have a catchall rule (or alternatively, a Ming), and encourage your posters to use sense.Originally posted by Dr Zoidberg
Linking to or posting pornography is prohibited by praxis, so is lewd comments or discussion. Yet in the rules faq it reads:
and
Alltough one could argue that praxis is as good as rules, it can sometimes create confusion about what is allowed and what isn´t. I´m not saying I want to be able to post pics with full frontal nudity or worse, but it would be nice to know exactly where the line is drawn without getting a visit from Mings banning rod
Therefore paragraph XI in the rules should be added to with something like the following "linking to or posting pornography is not allowed. Neither is explicit sex talk"

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
