I'm using a URL and my own web space for mine... haven't tried uploading anything as of yet...

'lo 'der. Nice boards.

I don't think there's any real need to try and puposefully differentiate themselves from... other forums. Either the rules they set her ewill work, or they won't. Of course, I'm presuming that enough was learned from... other forums... that, while they won't have to deliberately try and differentiate themselves, they won't necessarily try and emulate them, either. I do agree that some of the wording in the FAQ is a bit vague.... also noticed a spelling mistake, I think. The boards are young, though. But drvel is one of those things that never seems to stay where it's meant to stay, and right now I'm all for closing off as many opportunities for things that I'll find irritating as they can. Public inquisitions into the behaviour of the moderators is just one of those things.

I don't know... one of the things that irritates me about message boards with too relaxed a policy is that it invariably leads to drivel being posted. If someone's got an issue with the admins, I don't think it's unreasonable expect them to deal with it in a private fashion via PM, as long as they get back to you in a relatively prompt manner. Besides, how often in your recollection has an admin responded differently to a public vs. private inquiry? On the one or two instances where I've had a problem with admins and the way they were adminning their particular boards, going public didn't make a whit of difference. But even if they do mean that any public questioning of the moderators is off limits (something I'm not convinced of, BTW), yeah... it does seem a bit draconian. If it keeps the whining and personal attacks (polite criticism is something that seems to be pretty much unheard of on boards like this) off the boards where I've got to wade through it, I'm certainly willing to give it a shot and see how it works out. Edit: I think the Olde English is fine. :D
