While the moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore all the users acknowledge that all posts added in this forum express the views and opinions of their author only and not the administrators, moderators, webmaster or other members (except for posts by these people) and hence they will not be held liable.

The users also agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, racist, xenophobic, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate applicable laws. Doing so may lead to the authors of such posts being immediately and permanently banned (and their service provider being informed).

please do not send offensive pm, admin actually has the power to ban users from ever using pm again

When you start to post in here, we assume you agree to our rules and try your best not to break it, thanks[/b]

Some good suggestions…however i would have a talk with the admin or wait untill you become a moderator before making suggestions on what is acceptable and what isnt. Good way to piss people off. Dont get me wrong … glad you made this post.

#3

Hm… About moderators. I think we need some. The Admin very often is out of range… Even old topics not cleared…

#4

I totally agree. I think you might get moderator status when you reach 500 posts but thats just a guess and a long way off for the 3 of us that our nearest. But I guess we willl see what he does.

#5

i am confident those rules are at least good enough, its simuliar to the other forum i go

#6

Also TexanSkyraider is a Colonel so maybe he is a moderator but he only has 12 posts so not sure why he is a Colonel but maybe he could show up more often a moderate. Hopefully that admin will list what goes with promotions and what it takes to get there. This would be nice to know

#7

Isnt that TexanSkyraider running a musuem in Texas? I think thats why he is colonel. He is the closest thing to a historian.

#8

Hm… I n think, I can be the moderator. I already modarating 2 forums, and heve a lot time on my work to do it. Also I have enough experience.

#9

Ass you wish :slight_smile:

#10

FW-190 and I are now moderators on this site. Please follow the these basic rules. I plan on leaving the site as is for the moment but will take prompt action to delete any offensive comments that are made. This has been going on. So please stop. This is directed at those who have been arguing quite offensively. You know who you are. Now quit. I have already warned you in the first place. I think FW-190 are in agreement. Please feel free to PM us if you have any questions.

#11

yeah, i agree with gen.sandworm
i hope we can all have a nice place to discuss things about world war 2, and we can live without insults

#12

:oops: Only just read this thread so was unaware of these rules till now so PLEASE don’t ban me 8)

I think one of the problems with this forum is the communication problem with the different languages(no bad thing) But it is hard enough to interpret what people actualy mean when they talk english online let alone when English is not their mother tongue.

I am not complaining merely pointing out that some people may come across wrongly and they may need to be given the benefit of the doubt If that makes any sense :wink:

#13

why ban you?
you never break any of the rules
and i dont have the power to ban people, i can only edit, delete, lock topics

#14

No worries. I think you and IRONMAN have cooled down. We make sure in the future it stays that way. Dont worry remember we are here to discuss and have fun. Thats what its all about. :smiley:

#15

It seems that we have to add more rules. :oops: :oops:

Edited: Also it will be useful that some topics to be sticky.

#16

Well with anything sometimes you have to update a bit. We will have to work on the Rules a bit more so that there is no more confusion. If you would like make suggestions in here then we will make the New Rules and Lock them and make them an Annoucement so that they are clear.

From another forums:

While the moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore all the users acknowledge that all posts added in this forum express the views and opinions of their author only and not the administrators, moderators, webmaster or other members (except for posts by these people) and hence they will not be held liable.

My previous post was only a suggestion. It doesn’t represent 100% my point of view :lol: :lol: :lol:

#19

good suggestion, i just add your suggestion to it, thanks
from now on, this is a place where members can complain or suggest about our new rules system

#20

I had an Idea for a new rule possibly. I was thinking that if you are the Author of a topic you are in charge of keeping people on topic in there. This will help in keeping the site clear. Plus when things get a bit rough it takes a bit of heat of the moderaters. Just wanna know if you think this is a good idea and if you would be interested. Of course if you need help you will have to ask us to lock or delete or what not. But its a good way to get others more involved in the site. Let me know what you guys think. ???
