Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 All topics older then 60 days will be pruned tonight from this forum. This is part of general maintenance today and will help to keep our SQL Database size under control and less prone to corruption.

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 You'd probably post anyway. I for one had never read the CoC until Alorael posted it on the General board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Dakkanor Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 CoC? never read it I just stick by the rule of "Dont be a jerk" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Originally Posted By: Dakkanor I just stick by the rule of "Dont be a jerk" That, in a nutshell, pretty well sums up most, if not all, of the CoC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk llloyd Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 But without an actual document for people to read it's like half anarchy, with a police force. people will not be able to easily see that this is a place of worship, er intelligence, and that nice is needed, and nothing will have said otherwise, and everything will burn. in conclusion i would like it to be put up, also casual fridays, except casual fridays, or at least whenever someone sees a new member to say this is an intelligent forum and "don't be a jerk". Or we could set aflame to anyone who spams, personally i think any or a combination of any of these would work effectively enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I was going to point out that you have to confirm that you have read the rules to register an account, but checking the registration page reveals that in fact you only have to agree to be bound by them. This interacts curiously with the fact that rules do, actually, explicitly require all members to read them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I didn't read them, just like I never read the TERMS OF AGREEMENT (in caps of course), when I install a piece of software. I just check the box and move on. This probably makes me a horrible person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk llloyd Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Actually that's okay unless you wanna look for a loophole or something, terms of agreements are legal crap, the code of conduct is conduct rules, not legalese for don't copyright this, but all true nerds do some illegal things with their software or something like that.

That can be dangerous with some companies when you find out later that you agreed to buy lots of junk and they already have your credit card number from purchasing that piece of software.

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 If it's something online that involves money in any way, I read the legal crap. But if it's just regisering at a site or installing a piece of softtware I bought offline, then I skip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 In any case, the Spiderweb CoC is not legalese, it's now displayed in several places, and it really helps to read it. Although yes, it mostly comes down to "don't be a jerk." —Alorael, who would say that was the point of the CoC rewrite. The earlier version was somewhat legalish. The new one is more exasperated at how some people choose to comport themselves on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk ĐªгŦĦ Єяŋϊε Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 some programs actually make you scroll down to the end of the terms and conditions before the let you click next. this makes it a marginally better chance that you would read it.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 No. It marginally increases the chance that someone will glance at the ending sentences rather than just the beginning sentences. —Alorael, who has taken to scrolling to the end of agreements just in case. His degree of reading has not followed suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Spddin Ignis Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 As a quick change in topic, I find the new Spiderweb home page quite appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 That's not so much a change in topic as a leap to a different thread. —Alorael, who supposes discussion of that might as well restart here, though, since that thread has wandered off in other directions as threads are wont to do.
