New Unofficial GDB Policy

Started by Olgaris, November 11, 2009, 07:33:47 PM

I, Qzzrbl, Bringer of Thunder, eater of trolls, souls, and assholes, do hereby pledge to only bring positive comments, ideas, and suggestions to the Armageddon General Discussion Board. If there are ideas I disagree with, I will, to the best of my ability,  express so in a helpful and collaborative way. If I think someone, or some idea is stupid, I will keep it to myself and suggest improvements rather than make snide remarks in an attempt to make myself somehow look better. I will do everything I can to make this a welcoming community, that will attract new players and help improve the game for everyone.

I, The great and Majiikal Tony, do hereby pledge to only bring positive comments, ideas, and suggestions to the Armageddon General Discussion Board. If there are ideas I disagree with, I will express so in a helpful and collaborative way.

I will do everything I can to make this a welcoming community, that will attract new players and help improve the game for everyone.
A staff member sends you:
"Normally we don't see a <redacted> walk into a room full of <redacted> and start indiscriminately killing."

You send to staff:
"Welcome to Armageddon."

On my honor I will do my best
to do my duty to God and my city-state
and to obey the staff law,
To halp other people at all times,
To keep my character physically strong,
mentally awake,
and morally straight.

But seriously, yes, this is a good thing.

For my part, I will stop being a snarky Tuluki in those cases in which I am tempted.
The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong.
The heart is bold that looks on gold;
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.

I hereby vow to stop making thinly veiled attacks on anyone.

I, Morrolan e'Drien, do hereby pledge to only bring positive comments, ideas, and suggestions to the Armageddon General Discussion Board.

"I have seen him show most of the attributes one expects of a noble: courtesy, kindness, and honor.  I would also say he is one of the most bloodthirsty bastards I have ever met."

You certainly take me to first base, Olgaris, but to get into my pants you'll have to up this a notch to policy.  Three strikes.  1 - day ban, 2 - week ban, 3 - perma ban.

Something that might help:

Click on 'preview' before you post, and read over your post as it will appear on the board.

     This is some powerful advice.  The 'preview' ability is a wonderful tool.  By reading over what you're about to put out to the entire community, you can sometimes (often?) catch snippets that are unintentionally harsh or insulting.  And if it is intentional, you give yourself a second chance to remove it before posting.  (Of course, you can always go back and 'edit', but sometimes the damage has already been done.)

Ha, seriously.  If I actually posted half the replies I've written up, I'd probably have the twit flag.
