Mutiny On The Ship?
 
I have been noticing lately that there has been a lot of questioning of the rules around here, more so than I have ever noticed before. Is there any particular reason for this? Is there some sort of new rules? What’s going on?
Thanks,
Kris

1. Thou shalt refrain from posting anything non-aquaria related to the buy/sell/trade forum.
2. Thou shalt refrain from posting offensive material such as religion and politics.
3. Thou shalt post non-aquaria related material in the "Lounge".
4. Buying/selling in the Lounge forum will not be tollerated.


That's what I've collected over the past few months

That pretty much sums it up. These have been the rules since the inception of the board, yet a few individuals continue to question them. I don't really understand it.
We're an aquarium board, trying to run a friendly aquarium related site. We like to try and have fun and not be too anal about things, but a few simple rules are mandatory to ensure smooth operation of the site. This is non-negotiable and needs to be accepted as the way things are. If a person feels that they just can't live within these few boundaries, it may be best to find a board more suited to their style of board participation.

im still not sure how #3 works, it is it isn't ok.. i dunno i think as long as it isn’t offensive, political.. it should be up to the community to have a place to just chat about things, aquarium related or not. it's been awhile since if seen that many aquarium related threads in the lounge.

Willow, yes, I think we're going to amend the lounge description to allow non-aquaria related conversation. I think that is the purpose of the lounge. We'll allow most things, as long as they're not overly controversial and handled in a mature adult manner (most of the time).

And ya, most of the threads there now already fall under that category.

Thats makes sense. If the thread were aquaria related then it would be under "reef" or "DIY" or the provincial forums, so there really would not be any need for the Lounge. Lounge is just that, a lounge to hang out and get to know your fellow reefers other interests.

just my thought :)

You guys are correct. I think that was our intent, but perhaps we worded it wrong. As Brad mentioned, we are in the process of changing it now. Having heavy duty meetings. :lol:
