Hello everyone!

As you may or may not be aware, a month ago we (the forum guardians) changed the forum rules with the express intention of being more strict when it comes to public displays of discrimination and intolerance. We also felt like the previous system allowed for too many warnings before a punishment could be handed out in the most extreme cases, allowing someone to really hurt an individual or entire groups of people in the forums before we could technically do anything about it. However, while we feel like we did a decent job at fixing these two issues and that the current system is still fair to everyone (horrible insults get banned immediately for everyone's sake, small infractions still get plenty of warnings first), we kinda missed the ball when it comes to... well, almost every other rule. We did freshen them up, correcting spelling and grammatical errors but we strove to keep the core message intact, which was a mistake. Yes. we mellowed out some rules (like the no swearing rule) but we could have done more.

A few days ago Pia Margrethe made a very illuminating post (go give it a like, please! ♥) that reminded us the forum rules aren't there to make the atmosphere in the forums stifling and hostile, they're there to allow the player base to enjoy themselves while chatting or spamming their hearts out in frivolous games. 
Therefore, we'd like to invite you, the community, to offer feedback on the forum rules. We want to make forum rules that make sense and are just, but more importantly ones that you agree to and are happy with following. We want your honest feedback on the rules, what you think works, what doesn't, what needs tweaking.

How I propose we do this is: you write down the number of the forum rule and comment on it. Having feedback on each specific rule would help us the most. Here is a link to the existing forum rules for reference

To make posting less of a hassle, we won't be enforcing the double posting rule in this thread (especially as I hope it'll be one of the first to go) but we do encourage you to edit your post if you can do keep your thoughts as concise and organized as possible. 

Also this thread isn't meant as a platform for insulting the moderators themselves. We know we're not everyone's best friend and we're not expecting or aiming to change that. The topic of the thread, though, are the forum rules and we appreciate your feedback on them immensely.

Thank you for reading!

I think the double posting rule should be enforced to avoid spammers and so. But it shouldn't be upheld very strict either :)

Thank you for bravely being the first to respond Sandi :) I agree, the double posting rule is problematic. On the one hand enforcing it is such a pain for both the poster and the moderator, but it's there to prevent excessive spamming and in the game forums it's also there to ensure everyone gets to participate equally. We once had a player post 2 pages of posts in the Musicians ABC thread and that was not fun for anyone else who wanted to participate. 

Would it be better if we made it so outside the game forums we'd have a general "don't spam, try to edit your post instead of making a new one if you can, but making 1, 2 or even 3 posts is okay" kinda rule? We could give it an arbitrary limit of 3 or so posts before you really ought to start editing your previous posts if needed. And in the game forums we could keep the rule in order to make the games more fun for everyone. How does that sound?

Don't be shy, we're only looking for feedback :)

Yeah when I was FG I had many people post pages of comments just to get their stats up or just to fuck around. That is just stupid and should be punished. I would say keep the double posting rule but just don't enforce it to strict :)

This is an open-to-all thread to discuss and agree on forum rules where everyone is invited to voice their opinions. The hope is that we'll all agree on a set of rules and stick to them.

I'm sorry that you feel you don't have any freedom in the forum, HeavenLeighBimbo. What would make the forum better, in your opinion? Which rules do you wish were different?

Everyone, please stay on topic. We really need your feedback so we can fix the bad rules and make sure everyone has a good time in the forums. Leave your personal vendettas and conflicts out of this :(

Some things I've noticed are problematic:
the double posting rule: we've heard from Sandi Lut but I want to see input from as many people as possible on this. Don't be afraid of repeating yourselves. Repeated feedback is still very valuable, it shows how many people have trouble with things.the adult content rule: some people would like to be able to partake in public erotic roleplaying. This one is especially important. If the community wants this or is comfortable with this, we could have a thread dedicated to this kinda stuff.

^ a tricky question? ' ^
  When a forum is judged by 'Feelings', not law's.... Anything can be considered a criminal activity.
        Hurt feeling's, is not the same as FACT'S and TRUTH.
  Unfortunately  people have grown so weak: in thinking; feeling's[='s] abuse....
  I actually blame this 'social attitude' on Social MEDIA, not Bimboland's. 
 However because of Social Media, people say and do thing's to other 'internet player's', they would never say and do to people in the REAL- WORLD.

Absolute power corrupts, absolutely?     Bimboland's has become the living example of it.
   And it is not just the forum......     Actual game play, has been effected too.
        There is many detail's that happened 'back-stage', that are to numerous, to explain in a single post.
     Rule's?      We were making them, till the nation went FERAL.

While I appreciate this explanation, HeavenLeighBimbo, you still haven't pinpointed what you want to change about the rules. Am I to assume you are happy with the current forum rules, then?
