Interesting and productive discourse lies in the reasonable space between protecting delicate flowers from the slightest offense and promoting a crude free-for-all. We aim to provide an open and lively discussion forum while keeping things civil, hence the following rules.

Edit: The official rules have been moved to the site Terms of Use. Please read them.

I haven’t accused any new members of being socks for a while.

Presumably he was referring to the “trolls” part of “trolls/socks.”

I don’t think I’ve accused any new members of being trolls for a while either.

Don’t moderate unless you’re a moderator.

I assume that’s the part he’s referring to.

That’s the first half of #2, not the second half. If anything, Fo is the one guilty of the first half (as am I…?) by bringing up the fact that Warb was guilty of the second half.

…

WHY ARE WE EVEN HAVING THIS DISCUSSION?!?!

Fo did not accuse anyone of anything. It was simply a little ribbing. You make too much of something out of nothing.

That’s not true and you know it, but we’re going to get in trouble for this discussion.

at one point there was even a joke about starting a thread just to keep track of everybody you’ve accused of being a sock that was dismissed because it would be too much work to maintain.

You mean like forgetting to capitalize their name and forgetting the extra ‘e’ at the end?!

Thank you.

Before a couple of years ago? I don’t know mate - may have been a different set of Rules & Guidelines. Jay posted this set up on December 2016.

Edit: It may be worth checking further down the ‘announcements section’ for older rules if interested?
