quote:I'm sure they are. Shadow Vale has a picture topic, too. Even so, if the purge wiped out all the pictures, it might be time for a new one. Perhaps it could require that the picture be taken directly before posting, just to keep things interesting. Given the at hours in which some posts are made, it could be rather amusing. -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est. Posts: 344 | Registered: Friday, February 25 2005 08:00 |

quote:Well, at least not horizontally. There happens to be a lot of people that aren't in the picture topic, that may inspire the use of pronouns anyways. In this case perhaps use a neuter pronoun, refering to people as 'it'or 'this'. These will always be wrong (with the exception of bots, though even these can have gender) and thus is the only way outside of personal knowlege to be certain of being wrong or right.

That is so odd... I don't cause gender confusion!! Also, I was thinking of starting a new photo thread, so maybe I might just go ahead and do it now... Posts: 2864 | Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00 |

quote:Very much appreciated and I like your wording but my intention is to include #55, #100, and #101 while getting rid of unneccesary junk. I need more good rules to fill in the gaps instead of condensing the good ones we already have. I don't know if I can make it. I weeded out about a quarter of them already. -------------------- Forever Always on Past the End TrueSite for Blades - Blades Walkthroughs Pixle Profusion - BoE Graphics Archive Posts: 563 | Registered: Tuesday, July 27 2004 07:00 |

quote:I am sorry to say, but after reading the updated list I have to agree with Salmon's complaint. The original list was obviously silly. My list tried to maintain the silly mood while keeping only serious information. But cutting all the silliness out, and merging the two together makes an overly-harsh sounding list. Just take a look at new rules 2 through 6. Putting this at the top of the list and repeating the same thing several times, makes Jeff sound like a terrible dictator who bans people that look at him wrong way. (Yes, I remember the Ash incident, but that was a single incident in the 6 year history of these boards. Most regular members will never talk to Jeff directly anyway.) So I'd suggest at least removing all redundant rules and reordering the list to start with more humorous-but-serious things like the 1337 speak rule, rather than "obey the admins. Rule #5 is an example of the ones that really should go, because it creates a false impression. I've seen boards where any criticism of the company tends to mysteriously disappear, along with the members who posted it, and that rule makes Spidweb sound like such a board. (In fact, that whole CoC makes Spidweb sound like a rather unpleasant place.) -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

Dikiyoba votes for a much shorter list (like ten or twenty rules) and ditching or modifying rules 55, 100, and 101 entirely. There aren't 100-odd serious rules that need mentioning or 100 good humorous rules to keep the joke up that long. -------------------- Episode 4: Spiderweb Reloaded Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

How about one rule. For any post, think forward several years and how you would react to that post if it was written by someone else. Now, react that way by either deleting, editing, or posting. -------------------- Synergy - "I don't get it." Dikiyoba - "Dang. I'm one firecracker short from getting a gourd potion today."
