requesting new rules

[Caroljo]

I get things said about me all the time, from people that "think" they know me.
When i first started coming here, being a "newby" it did really bother me. Now i just
consider the source

Mommy! Mommy! He called me a doodoohead! Mommy! Mommy!

I just thought it would be a good rule that you can not make a claim that someone has had sex with a child.

What do you guys think?

that was already done.....Gunny told everyone in a thread ...."if some of you dont stop calling Yukon a Pedophile i will ban you all".....even though it was suspected he was one....

How does one go about suggesting and getting a new rule included?

Off the top of my head, I would guess a campaign contribution would do the trick.

TDM could BUY this Board from the Admin (providing them with a tidy profit, of course) and then inflict -- er -- impose such "rules" as she deems best suited for a liberal-friendly conversation.

Nah, she can't afford to buy it. Her rental income isn't that high.

But, I think CG is considering buying it, and she does have the money to do it.

I wouldn't want to be TM if that happened.

I am pretty sure that would border on libel, and thus actually against the rules.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

It's only libel if it's done with the intent of causing, or if it actually causes, financial harm. Can't do that anonymmously on the internet.

I would think it actually causes harm, even if it is anonymous. You might have a hard time winning a court case against said poster, but I would think that the staff here would still take a dim view of of it.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

"To meet the Supreme Court's definition of libel involving a public figure, a quotation must not only be made up or materially altered. It must also defame the person quoted, and damage his or her reputation or livelihood … —Jane Gross, New York Times, 5 June 1993"

Libel - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Anonymous internet posters are not public figures, and are subject to a different standard.

What do you guys think?

I think you can completely change the meaning of a sentence by adding comma's (,).

I did not have sex with that woman Monica Lewinsky. ~ William Jefferson Clinton.

I did not have sex, with that woman, Monica Lewinsky. ~ William Jefferson Clinton.

It's really not so hard but it does take a little bit of time.

First, you have to get a petition signed by 50 members of the board.

Then you have to wash and wax two mods cars. If the wax job holds up for at least two months, they will consider the request for a new rule at the annual convention held each January 4th. The next convention is in Vegas. Oh, you have to bring up the motion at the business meeting held during the convention.

Watch out for Pandas in a restaurant. They don't like paying their bill, so you will when they get done with their meal they will get out a pistol and shoot anyone they don't like the looks of. A panda eats, shoots and leaves.

If that were to happen, and I'm neither confirming nor denying, TM would have nothing to phear.

Illiteracy and math skills are three different things.

No one knows?

should I ask a mod?

Actually BEFORE you post the suggestion PM a mod and ask them. They may misunderstand what you are trying to do.

Prague is so very pretty during the autumn change of colors. And the hotel looks over Hardcrany castle and is convenient to the Charles Bridge.
