291932 2004-11-15 09:16:00 Freedom of speech is the most protected of all rights... I disagree

Responsability and accountability is a better way,

that and amusement.

291933 2004-11-15 09:24:00 I'm sure there would be a way of transporting all the accounts over, but having them disabled until you go through a quick verification process, involving an agreement to adhere to the new rules. agent (30)
291934 2004-11-15 09:31:00 If you are a little more responsable... and a wee bit more integrity you do not need more rules ..
This thing is starting to sound like a Labour caucus.. geeezzzeee!

Well based on why this thread was created today, do you think that people were responsible enough, in respect to the use of this forum?

291936 2004-11-15 09:47:00 Sorry, I don't Judge people . . but I am old enough to watch children play .

I enjoy everyone and all, a difference of opinion is what makes us what we are, which gives such diversity of information .

I think . Perhaps I should talk more . . . . .

I agree.

291938 2004-11-15 10:54:00 Yes, I've already done my vote - but as people are now adding opinions/questions...

The technical aspects of changing systems are beyond me ( as I suspect they are for many forum users who know this one only ) but I agree with agent's views about carrying over some things & changing others - if that can be done?

I came here late last year totally ignorant about computers.
I'm still a newb compared with most here - and the teenagers run rings around me with their knowledge - but I could never have learned as much as I have in the past 13 months without the help of the long-termers who've been here since June 02's changes - and even before.
It seems a pity they should lose their post tallies because of recent silly stuff from others (who're often people who think that totals alone count more than real questions or actual advice given).

My own tally has more than its share of replies to the O/T posts. I've asked far more questions that I've had the knowledge to answer. So my post count doesn't relate at all to my expertise.
But for our long-standing helpful people (& regulars know who they are) it really does show their commitment to the forum. They post heaps of answers & very few questions.
It's a badge of honour. Sad if you took it away...

(As for the guarantee of good conduct - go for it.
And as for " the valid email address " - I was such a newb when I joined, I didn't even know there was any option to my Outlook Express address. Watching the aliases come & go here has educated me)

291939 2004-11-15 11:16:00 Since I didn't actually vote ealier I say agree

What freedom of speech got to do with it. It's a forum and the owner of the forum decides what he wants in it. If it ends up only a self-help forum without any OT then so be it. The OT stuff usually helps bind the community though.

That'd be fine if people actually did behave - But I'll be honest and say we've had more than a fair share of down-right pricks pass through these pages over the past few years...

Laura:
Sure it would be a shame to see a good 8 <-> 9k of posts get flushed, but hey.. New forum, fresh start... End of the day does it really matter?!
Realistically all it says is that I can talk my mouth off, Or that Im big headed, or that I have a lot to say, or lastly (and hopefully the correct one) that I have a lot of knowledge and am more than happy devoting time/effort to sharing it with others.

Bruce:
Just make sure you update the server before installing the software, Apache and a few other things look out of date....

291941 2004-11-15 18:59:00 I like the idea of a confirmation email, that takes them to the T&C's page:

By clicking the "I agree" button, you agree that your soul is no longer yours, but the sole property of IDG Communications NZ Ltd.
Should you act up, hassle other members, or simply bug one of the Mods, we will take that soul and snap it like a pencil.
