That's what I mean by "Not just a random opinion from a mod but a unified "rule" we go by that is there for each member to access."

I was reading some info shared with me by a fellow mod about "Trolls" and baiting ...

I am wondering if it would be a good idea to state in the sight rules in a clearer fashion what trolls and baiting and all those good little terms we use mean.

So that users know clearer what they are and so that mods can point offenders to the exact deffinition of the rule they broke when we issue strikes or bans.

Not just a random opinion from a mod but a unified "rule" we go by that is there for each member to access.

Ideas ? Thoughts ?

"Do not post racist or 'hateful' material.
This means no racist/homophobic comments, period. Discussions of racism itself in the proper forum are OK. Making hateful comments, directed at a person or group, may get your account immediately suspended. We are extremely serious about this. prince.org is not a place for racial bigotry or hateful speech.

Run, Steadwood, run!!!

poor Steadwood! anyway i see no reason why the ORG's rules should single out one fairy tale creature over another. plus, i think trolls eat treacle and not bait. just my 2c

This may call for the formation of the Trolls In Trouble Society (TITS)

Or even a Treacle Strike

i also am going to request clarification on the homophobia/racist portion of the rules.

as it stands right now, i have had to repeatedly endure seeing myself and other gay folk on the org told we are no different than murderers, pedophiles, and rapists, and it is starting to get really annoying. i understand that the fundamentalists want to voice their opinion, and they should be free to do such, but this gay = murder, rape, and child molestation thing is extremely false and extremely offensive. several of them are actually doing it to intentionally cause a reaction.

the rules state:


please advise.

and the formation of an Association to Sort the Site or A.S.S.

Also the formation of "Support Org Discipline and independant Trolls" or "SOD IT"

Steadwood said:

How about "The League to Improve Prince.Org Website". Or LIPOW!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaming

A baiter is someone in an Internet dicsussion group who deliberately posts aggravating messages on a message board. Often, this is part of a previous conflict between the baiter and the baiter's intended target.
Baiters are different from Flamers because they do not directly insult their target; instead, they post something likely to aggravate him/her.
