Debate Policy Rules

1/12/2020 - Rules updated, specifically the section about personal feuds....

*** ALL feuding and fighting should and WILL be done in the "steel cage" forum. Folks starting fights up top will have the offending posts moved to the cage, and 1st offense banned from thread they started in. 2nd time a 24hr ban, then 48, 96 and so on. --- Staff members will NOT be brought into these fights for any reason. Not brought into the active threads, and folks should not be sending private messages to staff members about their fighting. All that is asked is to keep it in the cage, and keep it to yourselves.

Has been added. Might be more updates, might be removals, gonna try to update to current.

Also updated 1/12/2020 - increased Font to have this already posted section clarified.

Privacy restrictions and discussion about staff and/or decisions still won't be tolerated in here, but the rest is free game.

* There is a difference between a staff member posting as themselves, and when one is speaking/discussing board rules/moderation and decisions.

I just looked above and I hate seeing so many dang rules.

Here's what I would love to see:

1 - Freedom of Speech - as it's always been, don't care where you stand politically or on any subject, everyone is welcome to chime in and nothing is censored. We are all adults here, mixed between gents and ladies. Please act and post accordingly.

2 - Whatever is private stays private

3 - Enjoy!
