Announcement: Forum Specific Rules Will No Longer Be Used

[Robinsegg]

However, each forum is allowed to take the FSR’s that they have in place and develop them to become guidelines for that forum. This means that a member will not necessarily receive an infraction (infraction system is still being discussed I believe) for violating a guideline, but may be asked to have the post deleted, edited, or moved to a different and more appropriate forum. Staff will be moderating based on the set of General Rules that the site will have.

Staff and members should be encouraged to spend the next few days developing guidelines for the forums where they participate or moderate in. Remember, these are NOT rules, but can describe what topics should be discussed and in what fashion.

Update from mnphysicist:

They are currently covered in the site wide rules, either by direct application ie age or gender, or by inference, singles, married, childfree, teen etc. FSR's never applied in those areas.

Quote:
Age and or gender restrictions are to be respected.

This would also apply to singles, married, childfree, mco etc.

Thus, no need for fsrs.

*This relates to how some forums have gender and age restrictions.*

​

Would this then apply to any area of interest where the members would like to talk about their area of commonality w/o disagreement and the like from those outside that area of interest? Such as homeschooling?
