$10 says with the enforcement of the new rules, the Basement will become the new "Serious Business".

There is only a matter of time before you receive 2 warnings, thus giving you the ability to only post in the basement. After 2 warnings, you might as well just start posting here to continue threads even after you've been "banned". Notice what happened to the politics forum when you went all LJ on it? It died, with only a marginal amount of posts from a very small group. If anyone wanted to talk about politics they would simply post it in serious business. That is what will happen with this forum, I guarantee it.

Judging by the already stringent and overwhelming over-the-top moderation after only a short period of time, my prediction will come true.

Book it.

Bank it.

And GFY.

Ok. Can't win for losing. Oh well. I'll probably just end up shutting the site down because I'm getting burnt out from all the bullshit.

I will also predict the forums will become slightly more violent and out of control since the basement is "anything goes". Thus, negating any benefit this forum has in the long run.

If you shut the site down, another site will pop back up within a short time frame.

To those who are complaining about the new rules or actually the original rules now being enforced....

Is the alternative (this site being shut down) better than following a few simple rules?

As others have said, you can still say anything you want....it just has to be in the basement though.

I don't have a problem with the new rules as long they are equally enforced on everybody.

I am simply telling you what will happen. Cry to someone who cares about your feelings.

It's been that way since the Basement was opened for business. People are just too fucking retarded to pay attention to the rules.

These rules apply to ALL forums:
  1. No personal attacks or unwarranted name-calling. Just because someone has a different opinion doesn't mean they're an idiot.
  2. Do not continually harass other members (this includes moderators).
  3. Do not aggressively troll a thread with the sole purpose of derailing it.
  4. Do not reveal anyone's identity.
  5. No swearing in thread titles.
  6. No pornography or gore.
Those rules apply to ALL forums. Nice to know you don't know how to read.
