After getting off to a rough start the moderated section is now undergoing a grand reopening in its new more mature & finalized state!
What's New- Blanket amnesty is hereby granted for all existing bans
- BabyShark is now an official moderator for this section
- This section will now use
the new tiered banning system implemented by BabyShark the new Play Pen-itentiary subsection to quarantine rule violators from the main Moderated discussion area. Banees can use "The Pen" for the duration of their ban to reflect on their actions & request reinstatement at any time following a suitable and meaningful period of rehabilitation - The rules have been clarified somewhat *
- All forum users have an equal right to use the moderated section; prohibition of vulgarity/obscenity in this section does not extend to usernames, avatars or signatures
* It's important to understand that this section is intended primarily to foster respectful discussion on any subject in an environment protected from the usual lawlessness of the other forum sections & of war2 in general. As such the primary role of our moderators is to protect users from flagrant, contentless flaming/trolling/provocations/abuse, much moreso than it is to e.g. somehow protect them from any possible manifestation of "obscene" content, and any punitive measures taken should reflect that role & be common sense extensions thereof.
That's it for now, have fun everybody! Look forward to seeing & participating in lots of great & illuminating conversations on many subjects!
