Hello. A select bit of mods have been deliberating for a while on how to improve the forum experience, and we've discussed the idea of implementing Forum Rules. This is something that we want to include the community in, so your feedback/opinions are worthwhile.
Here's a rough draft for what we have in mind.
Every subforum that isnt OT is going to be moderated more heavily for off-topic posts, and moderators will reserve the right to delete your post. Don't ruin threads with your banter, go to OT for that.
We're going to try and be harder about flaming/harassment on the forums. We want to try and make the place more friendly and while it might be a bit of a change we're asking that you be patient with us and what we have in mind is merely things to be discussed.
Negative and constructive criticism is fine. We're not going to silence your opinion for disagreeing or being abrasive, just never make it personal. That's all we ask. We understand that mafia is a competitive game at it's nature and that things are bound to get heated, but that doesn't mean we have to let things get out of control.
Trolling will be treated as the same as trolling in-game. A user has a right to report you if he believes that you are trolling them or their thread. Punishments will be handed out accordingly after we readjust what the repercussions will be for forum trolling.
OT will be moderated lightly, and GD will be at the discretion of the person making the topic. All rules are going to be in effect for all other subforums.
All mods reserve to delete your posts if they are off-topic.
I can't remember but I was completely shocked that any human being could think such things.

I had no idea that that was what this was about. I love projectmatt, he's an awesome dude. I thought this was about mafia and moderators.

The point is that you're past 12 winters of life and you should be man enough to take a couple of fists of mud thrown at you because you're frequenting a site that revolves around manipulation, and, surprise - that often goes hand in hand with bad words
Lashka30s Calling cheaters cheaters isn't what this is about.
Saying to go to Pics Pls because X person looks like a troll is.
That's totally reasonable imo. There are lines that need to be drawn. "Kill yourself" should never be okay and neither should attacking who people are as individuals in real life.
If you neuter my mafia game experience or use this as a means to protect the bad moderators from the righteous fist of the community, I have a problem with it.
The other day there were extremely rude comments made about projectmatt and appleofmyeye in Pics Pls and it was completely disgusting. If you honestly say there's nothing wrong with it because "it's competitive mafia that's psychological", then you too, are disgusting.
apostasy getting harassments for rightfully calling a cheater scum of the site is disgusting

well to be fair apostasy, it was unprovoked and clearly meant to him off or harass him. he didn't even cheat, the vio was wrong. or would you rather believe it was right because it means you get to insult pranay, someone you don't like?
