Yes perhaps I was rather blunt. Allow me to elaborate.
None of the suggested forum rule changes really amounted to much. These things are mostly covered under the existing rules. Perhaps some minor adjustments are in order but I don't see an urgent need for anything drastic to take place with the forum rules as they are.
I think i hear you.
I said in my first post: i got problems to express myself. Language _is a problem for me.
I guess we mainly agree, but got problems to understand each other (error on my side of the river).
In the terms of the Debian-social-contract my concern is the freedom of speech.
I for one see "posts" as the intellectual property of the one who wrote them. Hence any "editing" should be done if, and only if, absolutely necessary. A minimum of being able to understand things should be required to be a moderator or admin, not the pure will to simply ~do something~.
As long i have been a member of this board (2 years +, not long) there have been rules. But they have not been a "holy cow". The important thing were the users and the board, not the rules itself.
Now wherever i go: each subsection and my users-control-panel and the posts of a certain mod: all i see are rules. In lynx the complete first page i see are rules-threads.
sorry that i am not able to speak in plain words.
best of luck
