After much concideration, I have decided to help with the poll eddo.

 

.

 

Gotta problem with the way the site is run ?? Leave

 

You have one of your own. What's a matter ?? Even the forum you run SUCKS ?? Gotta come over here and complain about how we do OUR job ??

 

Cry all you want faggot, this site will NEVER be fashioned to your idealism..

.

I thought you liked peoiple that spoke their minds, Phreak? just having some fun here, and you pop a blood vessel over it. I guess letting people speak their minds is only for those that agree with you? Once someone disagrees with you, they get Idiot boxed or told to leave. nice. no wonder 78% of your members don't stick around...

[phreakwars]

And exactally who am I denying the right to speak their mind ??

[phreakwars]

I need to ask... what kind of control do you hope to accomplish by these rules ?? :

 

Rules:

 

1. Bashing of USM or its members (if they are not or have never been members here) will not be tolerated here. No exceptions.

 

2. Bashing of the site creator will not be tolerated here. No exceptions.

 

3. Racism is neither allowed nor condoned by the owners of this site, any such references to members or non-members of this site will be deleted and time-outs or bans will be given depending on the severity of the comment

 

4. Cursing is allowed but because you are an adult, we encourage you to take restraint in the words you choose to use. There are far more eloquent and intelligent ways to get your point across rather than resorting to cursing.

 

5. No pornographic material, or links to pornographic material are allowed. Any such posts will be deleted without question.

 

6.The Admins and Monitors can and will delete/edit anything they deem fit. They will send a message to you explaining why something was deleted and/or edited. If you have an issue with this, don't take it to the board. Handle it through profile messages. They will make the final decision. No exceptions.

 

7. We know that people do not agree all the time and there are categories here that could result in a heated disagreement. This is ok but we do expect you to show respect at all times. No name calling will be allowed, neither will personal attacks. No exceptions.

 

8. Sarcasm is allowed here but as an adult, you should know where to draw the line. If you have problems finding the line, the Admins will be here to help you with that. With that being said, as an adult you should also be able to take sarcasm. Please don't go whining to the Admins about the smallest of things.

 

9. We do have a category called "The Boiling Pot" to which you can take unresolved disagreements. This is for active members only. You can check their profile to find out when they were last here. If they have not been here in the last week, assume they are not an active member. If the person chooses not to participate in the post, they will not be forced to. A person may message an Admin, at their first viewing of the post, stating that they do not wish to be involved and the post will be deleted. The person who made the post will be sent a message stating why it was deleted. The issue is then between the two parties only and can be resolved through profile messages if so desired. Remember that even if both parties choose to hash it out, you can disagree and still be respectful. If a comment is made by both parties, the assumption will be made that both parties want to be involved.

 

10. Personal information, such as last names and addresses, will not be allowed in posts or comments. Such information will be deleted. No exceptions. If you choose to share any personal information with another user, you do so at your own risk.

 

11. Please do not delete your own posts. The update button is a courtesy to you. If you abuse it, we will have to take that away. If you think you will post something and then regret it later, don't post it in the first place. If you do, for some reason, need or want a post deleted, please message an Admin and they will take it into consideration.

 

12. Please do not make multiple accounts. If for some reason you lose your password, email us and we would be glad to send you your information. The email address is included at the bottom of this post.

 

13. WARNING: Extreme use of fluff is punishable by DEATH! Avoid as much as possible.

The law that states that defamation of character can be prosecuted in civil court.

 

By posting "I am an Idiot" in an area only controlable by an official of this website, means that the owners of the website are making a character judgement. If that is not supported by facts - such as medical records or copies of I.Q. tests that show by objective standard that the statement is true - that makes it defamation - in writing its called libel and verbally its called slander.

 

If someone, say a potential employer, wanted to do a background check on me - and they ran across this website and saw that "I am an Idiot." logo and it cost me a job, then the owner of the site could be held responsible for my losses. And this is true of EVERY person who gets put into the idiot box, because that constitutes the site owner's official statement, which someone can challenge in court.

 

Now if the owner of the site stated their personal opinion under their own name - that is NOT defamation. It is clearly opinion. Nor is the opinion of a third party the responsibility of the site owners. Only when the site representative acts in some manner that gives the impression they are speaking as fact and in an official capacity - such as the "idiot" banner - without being able to back up the statement with objective documented fact, with the intention to publicly ridicule - can the site owner be sued.

 

So long as a statement of opinion is just an opinion, not containing specific facts that can be proved untrue, a person is safe from the defamation laws. In order to prove defamation, you have to be able to prove that what was said or written about you was false. If the information is true, or if you consented to publication of the material, you will not have a case. However, you may bring an defamatory action if the comments are so reprehensible and false that they effect your reputation in the community or cast aspersions on you.

Of course there are the two big legal groups that argue cases like this on a regular basis (both are seeking internet test cases):

 

http://www.aclu.org/

 

http://www.aclj.org/

 

and lastly is the Findlaw message boards - where real lawyers will answer questions concerning libel and defamation issues for free. Findlaw was a great help to me back when I worked in the motion picture industry as a industrial video producer/director. (Saved a lot of budget money not having to consult attorneys concerning script libel issues. )

Hope this helps.

 

It doesn't help because all this drivel PROVES your an idiot. Making true statements about a person is not by definition defamation...look it up.

 

And thanks I am aware of the legal definition of defamation of character, if I were you, I wouldn't give my user name to any perspective employers...

A little late to throw in my three cents, but I think I do a fantastic job as a Super Moderator.

 

My own creed that I follow as a Mod...

 

1. I will use the Idiot Box as a last resort for anyone that ranks between Pissed To The Max and Pioneer.

2. I will use the Idiot Box as a first line of defense against anyone that ranks below a Pissed To The Max member.

3. I Ban fucking spammers.

4. I do not create too many threads, but rather MODERATE those created by our beloved members.

5. My opinions, insults, one-liners, burns, and slurs are not directed at the greenhorns around here, but they are for everyone.

6. I will continue to weave a tapestry of vulgarity in the hopes of shocking our beloved members. (I don't think too many are surprised by the things I post anymore.)

7. I will conjure a shit storm on anyone who obnoxiously posts RELIGION IS EVIL (Retards!). It's an invention of mankind like the wheel, fire, Starbucks, and the Internet (They have it on computers now! ). Man is inherently evil, not the inventions he makes.

 

The end.
