The all new: Ask a moderator about the forum & rules

Hi,

I would like to know if I was allowed to create a thread about a documentary I've seen last year about 9/11, it's called ZERO, investigation into 911.

This documentary does not support the official version, Im not saying it shows the truth, Im not saying it is full of lies. I just think it's worth watching.

I've been looking for a thread about 9/11 and I could only find this one which is now closed. Couldn't find any about this documentary.

I know this is a very sensitive subject (that's why Im asking), I don't want to offense anyone but as I said I just think this documentary is worth watching.

Thank you

TBH I don't see the need for such a contentious issue to be discussed here, yes it's an Offtopic forum, but it doesn't necessarily mean that we could and should discuss everything, considering the strong emotions felt by both sides I think that something like that is best discussed on a more generalised forum than a gaming forum.

well...ok :icon_wink:

IMO it's sad to avoid such a subject because it is full of strong emotions.

Whatever the forum it seems it's impossible to talk about it and I'm wondering to who benefits this. Im not sure it's us.

Which event in the history of the mankind was better to not be discussed ?

But I perfectly understand you're point and I respect it, I wont create any thread. Thanks for your answer.

As Placebo said, even though it's the Offtopic forum, it doesn't mean anything goes. Just like we won't allow discussion about porn, etc.

There are many other sites on the net that will allow you to discuss such issues; this forum is not one of them.

What ??? No porn ???

What about placebo's avatar ??? This picture turns a lot of people on :love:

Copy that

EDIT : Is in-game porn allowed ?

I know that's a completly different subject but this picture makes me wonder, where's the limit ?

Would it be allowed to see 2 AIs having sex ?

Placebo might be able to answer it better than I could, but I'll try to explain:

In ArmA2's case, it is not blatantly obvious to the casual eye, and for that topic we make the assumption that there will be some racy items involved.

Basically, two ArmA2 AI's trying to make a baby would violate the rules. Showing off a naked model is running a fine line, so it would depend on the context. For example, we make the assumption that certain parts of anatomy are simple biological diversity - the udders on a cow, beard on a turkey, etc. - so as long as the intent is NOT to glorify pornography, then maybe we might make an exception.

As per usual, contact a moderator via PM if you want to know if a specific image or content might break the rules.

Bear in mind that this forum is visited by people of all ages, which is part of why we have these rules in place.

Right now, a vote in a poll bumps the thread back up to the top. IIRC, this was not the case on the old forums. Is there a possibility to set this "feature" like it used to be (off)?

I would also like this. It is really annoying.

Not right now, I re-enabled it to solve the Freetrack poll non commenting issue as I couldn't be bothered to keep bumping it myself.

Wouldn't making it sticky achieve the same result? (yes, I am aware that mysteriously enough, most people seem to be unable to see stickied threads)

And then everyone will act like it's some officially sanctioned BIS research thread, which it's not, the poll is merely there as a courtesy to the Freetrack community who whilst pursuing noble pursuits are unfortunately dogged by a small percentage of supporters who're trollistic morons.

About the forum.

The merged threads from the old forums seems to have issues with code blocks.

Now I mean the really old threads which someone might find interesting to look at for reference

It looks like this.

i wonder if people having problems with PM's on the new board, i sent several without getting any return and then I wrote in a thread of the guy I wanted to reach, asked him if he had seen them, he said he thought he had replied and well, its been weeks and i know we both tried to contact eachother.

I have almost deleted all my pm's so its far from full.

i want to know that how a user get refrals and banned,i see some user who are banned,so why they are not remove from forum or there names.plz explain.thanks

When a user gets banned, their posts don't get deleted, until there is specific reason to delete the posts in question.

As for how you get banned - you get banned for repeatedly breaking the rules.

you mean to say that post can be used or recorded for other user use.there is also a possibility of lifetime ban.

What do you mean? Once you post something on the board, it stays there unless there's some specific reason to remove it (ie. it was spam, or something like porn or links to pirated software or whatever)

And yes, there are lifetime bans. Why ask?

ok now i understand all things,thanks

No problems here, unfortunately ;)

I have 608 in my inbox and 1538 in my sent box and I get 20 or so per day on average.

..but perhaps the real count is 40 per day! :cool: *plays X-Files Theme*

After the ten gazillionth "Will this game run on my new Core i7? I'd rather keep bumping this thread than download the demo for myself" post on the "Will this game run on my PC" thread, I think said thread has outlived its usefulness. I think should be merged with the "real" PC thread for posterity, but I don't think there's much point in having the two anymore now that the demo. and indeed the game, is out.

We're still getting new threads created asking questions that fit into the pinned thread in general, people will post even more new threads if there's only the one in OT, we need both, unfortunately.
