Reading this thread up and down, still puzzled. What is all this arguing really about?
> 1. Free speech - you can say anything as long as it is relevant and presented in a calm and polite manner.
Goes without mentioning, is self evident, any communication violating this rule is void.
Ok "relevant" and "calm" as well as "polite" are open to be discussed.
But this is a 90% to 10% or rather 99% to 1% issue. Just making up some numbers:
Of 1% being "censored" let there be 1% wrongly accused. So what? Wait until these numbers get relevant.
I am absolutely sure this forum will safely sort that out with ease.
Definitely easier than sorting out the hassle without this rule.
> 2. No zero value posts or threads, like "SELL SELL SELL"
Difficult to decide where zero starts.
But I heavyly rely an mods with experience to handle such difficult questions with ease.
> 3. No pointless or uninteresting threads.
Repeating 2. => same argument
> 4. No referral code spam
Makes life easier, posts have a number to refer to.
It is all written above, so leave it there. Repetitio non placet.
Be polite, don´t bore others.
> 5. No NSFW content
See 1. nothing really new here.
You can reduce the rules to:
Free speech - you can say anything as long as it is relevant and presented in a calm and polite manner.2. to 5. are redundant thus help explaining the idea.
