Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Please note the new rule in effect, as posted in the announcement section on all forums.Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 Dear JWFan users,As good as the rules passed down to us by the great Ricard are, they still sometimes need a little tweaking. Sometimes it's bending them a little, sometimes it's tightening them.In this case, I have decided to expand rule #04. For those who have forgotten:04 - In order to avoid controversial off-topic debates, political and religious references are NOT ALLOWED on any of the forums.Basically, this rule is here to avoid people from violently clashing over things they hold dear (or not so dear). Either way, it avoids (succesfully, in my opinion) hot topics from spinning out of control or possibly even setting members at bad terms with one another.There is, however, another topic that it seems can never go by without strong statements or potential mudslinging. Many threads have boiled down to this topic, or have wildly derailed because of it.Therefor, as of today, the subject of STAR WARS is also a nono.This concerns any part of the franchise, including any version of all 6 movies, the TV shows, the books, the video games, the merchandise, the film's history and possible influences, and the music.To insure no topic derails in mindless bashing of another way, you are also no longer allowed to discuss the works of GEORGE LUCAS, present or past. This also includes any material produced by LUCASFILM, in the slightest related to the STAR WARS franchise. I'll be lenient and continue to allow discussion of the MONKEY ISLAND series, as long as the term LUCASARTS isn't dropped anywhere.Members who have STAR WARS-related avatars or signatures have 24 hours to remove them.Members with a STAR WARS (or THX-1138) related name have 24 hours to submit a new username of their choice, which I will then alter for them through the Admin CP.Failure to comply after this first 24-hour period will result in a forced removal of offending signature and avatar, a forced change in username, and a possible suspension for a period of at least 7 days.To summarize, as of today in a preliminary lenient mode, and as of tomorrow as a strict rule, the following applies to all members of the JWFan.net Forums:04 - In order to avoid controversial off-topic debates, political and religious references are NOT ALLOWED on any of the forums, as well as any discussion concerning George Lucas, Star Wars, Lucasfilm, and any products related to either of these three.I'm sure you will all see the wisdom of this amendment in time.That is all.Enjoy the boards, everyone!- Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 Not right now. Just don't mention Mr. L in any discussion of it.If it turns out he gets mentioned too much, discussion of Indy will have to go too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
