Official Guidelines for Posting on Fantasy Land

[Moonitic]

With Craig's blessing, Zelda & I, as moderators, have come up with a fair set of guidelines to keep your experiences at Fantasy Land a pleasant one. As of this message, all threads under the Fantasy Land banner fall under the new guidelines. If anyone has any problems regarding these guidelines, we ask that you bring them to one of us PRIVATELY. As a favor to Zelda, I do ask that you first bring them to me, as she is incredibly busy right now in preparation for her move. Please note:

1. Above all else, NO flaming will be tolerated at Fantasy Land. We will have ZERO tolerance for anyone who attacks others based on their religion, race, sexuality, code, creed, etc.

2. All disagreements must be taken OFF the board. If you have a problem with an issue, it may remain public. However, if you have a problem with a PERSON, it has no place on the board.

3. Posting on Fantasy Land indicates that you agree to adhere to the guidelines set forth by the moderators. If, for any reason, these guidelines are ignored or hindered, the offensive post will be deleted without notice in a timely fashion. (I should state that I, Moon, am online a lot more than Zelda is right now, and will be keeping a look out for such things).

We are not making it a policy to censor any material. A well told story is more than welcome, but personal jabs are not. If you can't play nice, take your toys and go home. We won't entertain people who use this board to harm others. And we DO mean that.

Thanks for reading. Have fun & enjoy!

Just so you know guys this was thrashed out between Craig, Moon and I with input from others. We believe that these rules are reasonable and fair and do not encroach on anyones rights. As Moon said a well written story is always welcome, but attacks on people are not.

Now lets get on with the show!

may i add one thing??

The Moderators also have the autherization to ban people from the board (i think) so i wouldn't give then more guf then they can handle...

Just my 2 cents.. i'll shut up now

[Moonitic]

Angel, we'll cross that bridge if anyone forces us to come to it. I would hope that this remains a peaceful, mature place to enjoy the craft of writing and fantasy.

Rest assured, the proper actions WILL be taken on those who feel they need to disrupt the peace.

[DJ Apostrophe]

the downside of banning people from the board is that they can easily enough just create another acccount... so without making craig's job hell you really cant control who posts... you can get rid of posts yes... but people can still post... <shrug> my 2 cents

[arcon]

Terrorist are terrorist they will never change. I was calling them this before our day two weeks ago. The end game is the same.
They decide they hate you , dont like what youre doing, and then they set out to destoy it. Moon, Zelda,Craig and myself all want a
peaceful board. Obviously some do not.

my 2 cents.

Given the recent events, playing the "terrorist" card is in bad taste - just as playing the "nazi" card is.

[arcon]

ok, Craig, ill not say it again(use of the T word) but me seeking peace on this board is NOT equal to those who seek only to disrupt.'

Arcon, please don't try to compare them to terrorists. Especially now, that's just not right.

[Moonitic]

In fairness to Arcon, at least one of the troublemakers has done things that could very well equate to terrorism, whether we like to use that word or not. It hurts me to see such callous people such as these (and you know very well who you are) who pray on others.

Defined, terrorism means: the use of terror and intimidation to gain one's political objectives. (this has been done, if not in public, private)

Now, let's please focus on the task at hand, getting rid of the trouble, NOT fighting amongst ourselves. Okay?
