Changes

I like WS's ideas, although that Foreign Language rule I told him about a while back and he rebuffed it

Also, how about this for an suggestion
The staff has to collective agree before we ban someone or give someone a warning. I know many people seem to think that mods give out warnings to certain members in rage or vendetta and this would basically stop this. Instead of "[insert mod] banned [insert member]", it would be "The Staff banned [insert member]" Then maybe the most recent bannings might not have occurred. IDK. I'm just spitballing.

[Regulus]

^ Exactly. A checks and balances system.

[Misiziri]

Wow. Not a bad idea at all.

[Moka]

I don't so much like the "getting approval from another mod" or the "collaboratively writing a detailed PM" idea. Mods tend to stick together with decisions anyway. Plus I think that would delay the decision and slow us down as staff. I would much rather train the staff correctly the first time to recognize where, when and how to utilize their power and so they can do so appropriately themselves without even having to ask another staff member. Of course they can ask if they need to, but they shouldn't be forced to wait for another staff member to come online to make a decision.

We should definitely ease up a bit on the swearing rule, but I still think there should be something there. I don't think we should let members use the F bomb whenever they please.

The F bomb will be censored automatically so i dont see the problem there...

Well that's kinda stupid. It needs to be active for everyone. If people have the choice NOT to censore it, then how can you possibly say it should not be done? So you can censore the f word if you want but you're still not allowed to say it. That is stupid.

[Moka]

Uhhh.. The last warnings were because it was said in images. They don't get censored in images, derp.

[FlipMode]

Only thing is though (IMO) I still have two warnings for swearing at the moment, and it feels slightly unfair to me that the rules are going to change and allow it, when I just got banned for it but meh I guess better fixed now than not at all =D

Also the images are not always warn warranting for swearing, mine was also for sexism in the said image.
I do pretty much agree with everything Moka and WS said though, actually I agree with almost everything in this thread

This is great! I like this and I'll back it up all the way. ^^
