I feel that our forum lacks seriousness (or maybe there is none to begin with) so I think it is worth a shot to bring some thought-provoking topics to the site and see if interesting events pop up.
Since I plan to make this non-existent (yet) sub-forum a place for those wishing to engage in serious Internet discussions, I would like to present a few rules to keep the intended atmosphere and prevent this from withering into the regular off-topic.
#1/ You must use proper and formal English when posting. You are not allowed to use shorthand words and phrases (ur, u, atm, btw, yo, lmao, rofl,etc.). If you do not have the time to put some actual thoughts to your posts, then don't post. You don't need perfect English but your posts must be comprehensible, clear and not obscured by countless typos and grammar flaws. However, proper English is always recommended.
#2/ You are not allowed to flame, insult, offend others in your posts. Wise gentlemen discuss their different points of view concerning a particular topic, not shoving them into others' face. Failing to comply to this rule means that from that point onwards, all your future posts in these topics will be deleted (I will enforce that myself). You will also receive punishments based on the site rules. If you are able to provide an alternative interpretation of your posts and that everything was a misunderstanding or a failure to communicate, your posts will not be considered violations. The enforcers are bound to consult you before a post deletion.
#3/ Irrelevant, off-topic posts/materials will be deleted with a warning given to the violator(s). Three consecutive violations and you will receive punishments based on the extent of your actions.
#4/ All posts must follow the site rules. Violatiors will be punished accordingly.
These rules should be the basic ones. I will revise and update them should the need arise. I am also thinking of a method to grant this sub-forum's membership to other members. Nevermind this.
For now, this sub-forum will be called Galeoth's Sanctuary.
Feel free to discuss below.
