MCD vs Boards.ie (4 Viewers)

Re: Boards.ie is being sued by MCD...

Without at all trying to get your back up, personally I'd prefer a situation where there was a set of posting ground rules to refer to. These guidelines could exclude everything from abusive posts to unsubstantiated accusations and attempts to derail. A lot of the time discussion on this forum is dramatically derailed from its original purpose. In my opinion that shouldn't be tolerated. As a mechenism for coming up with such protocols, I'd suggest the discussion of formulation and entitlement to vote be only extended to those who have subscribed to the site. Ye have your own little secret board already no?

I'm suggesting this purely as a way to avoid a situation where Pete is accused of whatever in the future for making a simple editorial decision.

Perhaps we should critically engage with the question of whether or not anyone (including pete) wants to turn thumped into a place which has rigidly defined criteria regarding what does and does not constitute proper posting, and on- and off-topic discussion in a thread.
Alternatively, we could stop trying to use overblown and needlessly wordy language to address a problem which doesn't exist, and then making backhanded comments implying elitism which doesn't exist.

By we I mean you.

There was no 'backhanded comments implying elitism' in any of my posts, this is a site that has a subscription base which is perfectly reasonable in my opinion, as it contributes to keeping the place afloat. If this subscription brings in a privilege like a subscribers forum, then that too is perfectly reasonable.

My suggestion was that these subscribers, as the people who take this site most seriously by subscribing to it, are in a better position to formulate guidelines stating like Oh Shit said 'if this board publishes libelous material there won't be a thumped' as an answer to static questions like 'why was that thread deleted and not just locked? not like thumped...'

It was just a suggestion, don't let your heads explode with the excitment.

Hilarious, now if only I could find something suitably ironic in a Google image search to complement your zany sense of humour.
