Yo, I Got Your Chit Chat Right Here

[ntsammy5]

speaking of Rog, how's Gina?

 

[ftwildernessguy]

I was just wondering if something had changed since Rog was "told"

I read the post. 10 points does seem rather harsh, especially since the Princess started the fight.

I copied these from the faq page, I have violated quite a few myself, but never been yelled at.... yet

2. NO PROFANITY: Simply put, don't use swear words and don't post or link to suggestive or inappropriate photos. The boards are equipped with censoring software. If you try to use a profanity, it will be filtered and appear as all asterisks. Please don't get creative in an attempt to bypass the filters. This is considered the same as using the word itself and will result in an infraction. If you post or link to pornography, you'll be banned from our site. 3. NO FIGHTING/SARCASM: While we'd like to think that a Disney fan site is always lighthearted, there are times when there are disagreements. Let's face it, there are certain topics that can transform any of us into a raging "Donald Duck." When you sense this is happening, we ask that you step away from the discussion before it escalates into a fight. Just like Mom always said about fighting, we don't care who started the argument and we don't want it on the DIS. (Okay, she didn't say the part about the DIS, but you know what we mean.) No attacking others and no sarcasm please. Either will result in an infraction. 4. NO PERSONAL MESSAGES: The types of posts that we like to see on the DIS are those that everyone can participate in and benefit from. When a post is intended for an individual, it creates a problem and can be very awkward for both the person you're publicly contacting as well as others. Did you know that you can easily get in touch with almost anyone via the DIS Private Message system? Simply click on the name of the person and you should see a link for sending them a private message and/or email. If you come across a situation where the person has blocked these options, sorry you still can't use the boards to get in touch.5. ADVERTISING: The advertisers/sponsors who you see on the DIS are carefully chosen. While we welcome discussion of them as well as other businesses that you have information or questions about, if its determined that you are using the DIS to promote a commercial venture, you will lose your posting privileges. This includes choosing a username/signature that refers to your business. In addition, links to the company's website will be blocked. Also note that we do not want the boards to be used for solicitations or for requesting referrals. 6. STAYING ON TOPIC: Each of the DIS boards focuses on a specific topic. Please look the choices over before posting on the wrong board. For instance, you don't want to ask about park hours on the Restaurants Board or tell everyone about your stay at the Caribbean Beach Resort on the Disney Cruise Line Board. It makes it easier for everyone to find what they're looking for when the boards stay on topic.
7. MODERATORS: The DIS has a wonderful group of Moderators who have volunteered to assist our visitors and monitor the boards. Part of their responsibilities is ensuring that our guidelines are followed which may require that a thread is edited, deleted, closed or moved. If these decisions impact you, we ask that you respect them. Should you have any questions, please direct them to admin@wdwinfo.com. Any discussion about a Moderating decision that takes place on the boards could result in an infraction.

They seem to have pretty thin skins on the other forums. Guess that camping toughens us up.

 

[ftwildernessguy]

Oh man, we violate at least 2 of these every day on this forum.

 

[TheFlame]

Was that the same mod that closed the thread when it was just getting interesting? I am sorry, but 10 points for that? Come on! You have said much better on the resort boards and not gotten a thing for it! I call shenanigans!

I have no idea? Can I name the mod that gave them to me or would I be sarcastic by doing this? I thought that I had already reached my peak in the sarcasam/argumentative department...

Flame, did they tell you how many points you have to collect before bad things happen?

No, I don't know anything about it. I have only received a couple of warnings!?!?!

I'm impressed! You took one for the team!

I didn't think y'all wanted me on your team...after all I did call y'all "the regulars"!?!

Oh well, after the day I have had I can't tolerate getting involved in anything else that might bring up my blood pressure...I don't know how much my ER bill is going to be!

so posting uncovered mammaries is just right out???

 

[ntsammy5]

I don't think I have a vote. You're on the team as far as I'm concerned (whatever that means)

 

[ftwildernessguy]

Well, there ya go. The point violations from the guy who should know. I do find it interesting, however, that they say they don't believe in censorship after giving all the penalties for not playing nice. Sometimes I feel like I live in Russia.

I should get a negative 100 points for pointing out you can see them on the internet.

I do appreciate that information, since I was unaware of this.

Careful, if you get any more points, we might have to call you a regular too!

If I am reading the rules right, I think I am in violation of 2 just talking about my site LOL

That's what I'm here for..... today's tip:

Don't eat the yellow snow.

 

[ftwildernessguy]

I'm getting a headache.

 

[TheFlame]

NOPE, just the "New and Improving America" where freedom of speech is just a prelude to offending someone.

After all, someone has recently said
CHANGE
whether you like it or not! oops, shouldn't have said that huh?!?!!?!?!?!

Posting under another user name while banned 100 Never


This one is a killer! How does a banned user still post while they are banned?
