Hello once again. I am posting this thread to ask (and for you to discuss) whether we need these rules anymore.

Okay let us begin shall we.

''"Rule 36:  NO CEEB TALK. This subject is discussed far too often, so we had to add an extra rules for this. Any talk of Ceeb will be an instant kick, then if talk is repeated, a two hour ban. Do not come into chat, ask who he is, then ask not to be kicked, or complain when you are kicked. Rather, pm somebody and ask them there." ''

Let us first off by stating that this rule is frivolous and completely un needed. Do we really need a rule (anymore) to stop users from talking about an old user? The short answer is no. I honestly can't believe we needed to put this into action in the first place. I didn't know it was that hard to move on. Anyway I propose this be removed.

''"Rule 35:  Do NOT spam the AFK button. The AFK button is to inform users that you are away from the keyboard, not to make your username dance in the roster. This means an instant kick, then a two hour ban if you continue." ''

this rule was only needed for the first 3 days after we installed chat hacks site wide. I can count on one hand how many users have broken this rule in the past 5 months ( 0 ). This in unneccissary and needs to go.

''"Rule 30:  Exclusion: As we all well know, there are many different internet subgroups. Bronies, Benders, Brolans, and so forth. We here at CPW ask that you do not engage in any act of exclusivism. Do not delve into roleplaying as characters from those shows, or comics, and do not exclude others from your conversations. This is not Kindergarden, so let's all act mature about these things." ''

We honestly don't need a rule to protect internet sub groups. It should be common sense to not go around starting flame wars, we don't need a whole setin stone rule for it. These matters should be settled on a case by case basis.

''"Rule 20:  Do NOT pretend that someone or yourself is kicked (Example: ~  has been kickbanned~). If you post something you  know  is against the rules, and you post that after, you will be kicked from chat without mercy or hesitation." ''

Do we seriously need this rule? I have never seen ANYONE ever do this and no one shows up on the logs either. This is out dated and needs to go.

'' "Rule 21:  NO RACISM/Discrimination ! If you post prejudice slurs in chat or engage in any part of a racist discussion, you will be banned from chat instantly and for at least a week. There will be  no  warnings and no chance for appeal on this matter. Calling people "Fag" or "gay" is also not acceptable." ''

Just like the internet sub group one I think these instances should be dealt with on a case by case basis instead of having a set in stone rule about it.

Rule 9 and Rule 11 should be merged into a sub rule of the no spam rule as should Rule 19, Rule 5, Rule 4, Rule, 3, and Rule 2.

And this brings us to the end of this thread.
