This is the appropriate area for random comments.

Sorry...
Re: Rules discussion
And here I was thinking all I did was bump the topic to see if anything had happened since last time.

It's not my fault Ms Lee reminded me of the hamster dance. Besides bumps are generally discouraged on forums. I was going to share her blame.Rakuen Growlithe wrote:You were fine, others not.
Re: Rules discussion
I only bumped this because I wanted (and still do) to find out what, if anything, has happened on this fairly important matter. Also that was supposed to be zip-a-dee-doo-dah.

Re: Rules discussion
Valerion said he'd go through it in detail. I only had a problem with one section of your changes (although I'm not sure what was actually changed except for the wording. It all looked the same to me.).

My only request would be introducing a mobile friendly site. It's an absolute pain in the ass to use on my S6.

Re: Rules discussion
We discussed this before. Some people said mobile didn't and others said it worked perfectly. I think the only consistent comment was that the page doesn't zoom automatically.

Re: Rules discussion
Depends on browser, that's why. The effort put into doing a mobile site doesn't seem like it's worth it to me. The site is very usable on my LG G4 w/FireFox browser.Rakuen Growlithe wrote:We discussed this before. Some people said mobile didn't and others said it worked perfectly.

I'll blame that one on lack of sleep. Yes, the site "works" on mobile, but it's an absolute pain to use.Leeward wrote:That has nothing even remotely to do with the forum rules.
With regards to rules, I'm not too fussed. It's not like there's anarchy on the forum or something. This seems like one big nit pick.

I don't want to get into an argument. I'm only half way through my 11 hour layover, and I am grumpy as funk.

Re: Rules discussion
I have updated the rules. Most changes are just making certain things more specific rather than actual changes in procedure.
Also I've set the signature image limits into the forum itself. Hopefully no one will be affected.

Re: Rules discussion
Well that's what happens when you're tired and merging different rule sets together. You should find it a bit nicer now.

There's now a rules button on each page of the forum, as well as a notification on new user creation.
Re: Dissapointed with UCT
Things linked to a 'thought crime' are already punishable in places like the one we live in. Please don't further the discussion here though, it's against ZAFur ToS, I believe.Randall wrote:It is not a conspiracy theory. More accurately we can say that Orwell was pretty good at predicting the exact way the demise of the human race would occur.
I have read the article. The reality is that freedom of speech is under serious threat. Here we are in 2016 and people like myself don't have social media because it's too risky, one's innocent thoughts might just push some religious nut job into jihad, or worse, be construed as hate speech by the ruling faction. Once that freedom is gone, they will start with freedom of thought. And then the rest is pretty much going to fall into place as per the novel.

Re: Dissapointed with UCT
I think Fluke could be referring to the rule where you should avoid attacking someone or something on the forum that cannot fight back.
Re: Dissapointed with UCT
That only goes for things that could in theory defend themselves (e.g. people and organisations), which is not applicable to abstract concepts.
Re: Dissapointed with UCT
Im referring to the rule which is it not allowed to discuss South African laws being utter BS or taboo matters.
