An EoFF Constitution

[Psychotic]

I hope this place isn't crashing(bunchofnumbers) down around me.

Don't speak badly of that guy, he's your boss now. He owns you. You work for him. He's the big cheese. The head honcho. The top dog. OK bored now.

[Del Murder]

OK bored now.

I doubt it.

[Jojee]

Sorry, I've been under the weather and haven't been paying much attention to what's going on. I hope this place isn't crashing(bunchofnumbers) down around me.

OK bored now.

Me too Let's go crash(#) General Chat!

"We the People of EoFF, in Order to form a more perfect community, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for EoFF."

Take care all.

[Del Murder]

Is that it?

COPYRIGHT THEIF! You just replaced US With EoFF....

Not that there is anything wrong with it.

[The Captain]

Actually, that's just the proposed intro, one of many I'm mulling over. I have also thought about using the most recent English and Australian Constitutions, but in studying this, the US Constitution is easily the most modern and flexible of the bunch in that it allows for the most scrutiny of rules while also having a set structure. Being able to update a set of laws IS important, in my opinion.

Take care all.

Submitted Article On Porn Policy:

Three Levels Used To Judge Whether Offense Is Ban-Worthy:

1. What the nature of the post is, as in, was the post made just to present the picture, and if so in what context: IE if just the picture is posted, more often than not, it is being posted just to provoke, whereas, if there is commentary that follows it, moreso looking at how the picture was created (the artistic integrity of the work), then it may be more reasonable not to ban.

2. What the picture is of. This is the tricky part to judge, as some people may find things to be more offensive than others. In doing this, perhaps we may need to have a general consensus or a two day voting period on what the members and Staff believe is within reason or not. Once the majority has spoken, that can be the new standard.

3. To A Lesser Extent Then It Is Now: Who the Member is. If the person who posts something offensive, it must be taken into consideration who they are in so much as, what is their background:

- Have they caused trouble in the past?
- Have they been warned in the past about instances like these?

And the most important piece:

Staff and veteran members MUST be held to higher scrutiny because as people who have been here longer, we all now have certain responsibilities to BE responsible, as in, we should have much LESS leeway because we are the role models for the board.



Take care all.

First of all, an EoFF Constitution will not work.

Why? First and foremost, the staff is the law, and above all. You may not agree with some of what they do, but we should deal with it. If there's something you don't like, you can PM a staff member and tell them, or start a thread here in feedback.

Though, I think that under the law of EoFF, everyone should be equal, and have equal punishment. However, the staff have superiority over other members, and are unlikely to ban someone who have some "importance" to EoFF in their perspective...

I don't know where I'm going with this... so use whatever I said for your own good.

I think it would be best if, after a vague draft has been made, we have the Master of Rhetoric Del Snizz write us up a long and tedious copy, as I've never seen a more professional writer in my sixteen years.

[FightClubFan#47]

Looks good so far. Hopefully, [Staff Members] will follow it and, you know, tottaly disregard it like the Instaban.

Even though I hate it with an eighth of my heart, it's true.

Thats exactly what I meant to say earlier. But unfortently, all my posts look drunk

[The Captain]

I see your point Proto and siric so mine is thus:

If laws exist to be enforced, but the laws can be bent or even broken, by those who would enforce them, then the laws themselves have no purpose. If there is no law, then there can be no justice, no justice, then no integrity, and no integrity, then no community.

Take care all.

[Psychotic]

So essentially there needs to be some way in which the staff need to be held accountable, which is usually done through the Feedback forum although more often than not people claim that these threads are whining or pointless.
