Since the announcement thread has now turned into a pissing match and a lot of people's (or at the very least, MY) concerns are seemingly un-read, I think it's pertinent to have a thread dedicated to it. It's just that there's a lot of ambiguity in the announcement and the way the mods are addressing (or not addressing) seemingly easy to answer questions is eerily similar to the 11/10/10 debacle on the JJ.

I'll try to keep the first post up to date as questions are posed and answers posted.

Here are my questions:

If I type shit, or any other swear word, will it be filtered (meaning ****'d out) or will I get a gong or both?

Also I don't like the untouchable mods rule. If a mods an ass there's nothing anyone can do about it?

According to our thread in the mod forum. First curse word will be filtered, but a notification will be sent to the mods, second curse word will result in banishment. I think it's best if the mods don't have posters questioning them.

I find it interesting that this was only posted in the basement... the forum designed for trolling.

Wait, really? No more swearing? Not a huge deal but I don't think swearing is main issue on the site.

and when mods send PM's like this, it makes me really question what the fuck is coming:

4 mods have replied, skirting questions that require little processing to answer.

I'm telling you, the fucking JJ business model is being replicated right before our fucking eyes.

say whatever you want, you fuckers are like a year away from charging $1 per month to post on your stupid fucking ghost town forum. until my questions are answered, i'm going to be combative on this subject. just seems like there's a bunch of shady shit going on.

someone needs to check on the availability of freechatter.com

Yea, Justin said the mods will be getting their raise in a week, so I suspect that's when the charging will start to take place.

it's not that. i'm quite certain that the new rules won't affect me because i don't have multiple names, don't troll (unless it's warranted), and can go without cursing if the rules forbid it. but the fact that someone with 2 extra chromosomes could answer my questions, and i'm seemingly getting tight holed has pissed me off.

Justin are the "rules" going to be applied to the "mods" as they would to non-mods?

Yes, but you can't just be a dick to a mod for applying the rules or because you have a pre-existing grudge with him.
