New New Rules to Save the Forum
Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2022 3:22 pm
We have a lot going on here, so I thought I would pitch in and help us all help us all save the forum.
Problem: AtlanticMike is not a Progressive and he is a Mormon.
This seems to be the biggest problem on the board lately. Except for the other problems that are bigger, which we can all help each other to solve by helping each other. But we have not succeeded in helping Atlanticmike get progressive or to lose his religion.
Most of the solutions to this are out of our control, ie having YouTube block his access to videos, locking him out of the chapel (including the community kitchen) and making him wear Duluth Trading Company Men's Buck Naked Performance Underwear. So, we need to agree on a new rule that can help him, but also save our board.
Solution: New Rule: AtlanticMike can only watch CNN and he was to watch WNBA games at home on Sundays and post the scores in [Super Spirit Paradise].
Commitment Pattern: AtlanticMike, will you commit to only watching CNN and to watching WNBA games at home on Sundays and to post the scores in [SSP]?
= ================================================ =
Problem: AtlanticMike does not talk vulgar with panache in the proper forums.
Fortunately, we have some clarity on the issue of vulgarity and aggression in what I am calling "the middle forums," Terrestrial and Paradise. There has been a gross misunderstanding, and we can clear this up. Aggression IS allowed. Aggression is encouraged. Aggression, when entertaining, is welcome. Hearts, were mended. And we can now move forward with aggression in the middle forums, if it is clever. Turns out, the problem was just a misunderstanding and now we are all unmisunderstood for the better. So go ahead with the "yo momma" jokes about how she was raped solid while doing a stand-up comedy routine that she called, unironically, The Aristocrats. Yeah, and then she pretended to be a victim of rape, which is funny, because she was not wearing a skirt. Get it?
Solution: New Rule: DocCam has to wear a Gallagher hat and smash a pumpkin before calling someone the F-word in the middle forums.
Commitment Pattern: AtlanticMike, will you commit to laughing at DocCam's jokes about homosexuals, transexuals and his momma and will you commit to not telling DocCam to not be aggressive to you?
= ================================================ =
Problem: Binger (third person reference to the author) starts too many threads.
This is really sad. There is a so-called page of thread topics. Sometimes there are about 7 active posts a day and sometimes 9 and sometimes about 4 and there have been some days with like, 11 maybe. One day there was way over 8 but, I am not sure how many or what day. You should just take my word for it. If any of these posts cross over on the topics at all, let's say that one was about Daniel Peterson's stuff and the other one was about the things Daniel C. Peterson said about his stuff, well then this is really sad for the forum.
Solution: New Rule: K Graham has to wear a Gallagher hat and smash a pumpkin before reading a thread in the middle forums.
Commitment Pattern: AtlanticMike, will you commit to laughing at DocCam's jokes about homosexuals, transexuals and his momma and will you commit to not telling DocCam to not be aggressive to you? (I know, this is the same commitment for the other problem/solution, but I do not get the sense that we have a sincere commitment that would lead to full conversion)
