| Post subject: | Inappropriate Use Policy |
What policies should we put in place to define inappropriate usage of the site? Obviously promoting other, similar, sites should be off limts as should hate speech, but what else? Specific suggestions are requested including legal language. Please respect other peoples copyrights. In looking at the existing policy, it appears as though most of this has been thought out already. http://larryville.com/forum/rules.htm Does anyone have any specific changes that they feel need to be made to the existing policy, or should we simply implement it? |

Just be able and willing to act when needed to shut down the really hateful stuff....before it gets out of hand and kills the board, as has happened before. Have some mechanism for warning people *privately or not* when their posts border on the edge of acceptable. |

There are many definitions of "hate speech". If this is going to b enforced, a comprehensive definition is called for. Selective enforcement is the surest way to kill this community, that and picking the wrong mods.

You really do seem worried about this. Has this happened in the past? I can't think of any specific instances, involving specific users, that have been victimized by this. Can you name some specific examples, help jog my memory, Clock? Thanks! :) Agnostick agnostick@excite.com |
