GFY Rule #3 - The Rule That Rarely Gets Enforced :::
 

GFY rule #3 states in part....."Anything goes, except do not post people's personal information, or attack people personally, stick to the issues."

Now here's the part that is not clear to me...."attacking people personally." I see people attacking other people every single day on GFY. Why put something like this in the rules if no one has any intention of enforcing it? To me this is a complete joke. If it were not for people attacking other people, this board would be completely dead right now. Those attacks are what GFY built it's reputation on. It's the drama created from those attacks that keep eyeballs coming back here.

Things that make ya' say hmmmmmmm :winkwink:

ppl must be addicted to the drama. too much bs and not enough work getting done.

deancapture = captain douchebag

go call the cops on your neighbor for not shoveling their snow.

Oh sure.. Here we go with the opinion of some guy who shoots pics of drop dread gorgeous women and does it really well too.

Wait.. that doesn't seem right. I think I'm doing it wrong. :(

Hey Dean, how is that snow in LA? I heard you are in like 5 feet of snow. :winkwink:

I agree if that rule was followed most would be gone. I think its hard because its not like a photography or video board. There really is no topic to stay on topic about.

I always thought it just meant to leave peoples personal shit out of it. Like not going after family members, wives, girlfriends, and others not in the industry nor on the board.

you dont have any personality to attack

Old rules are on the cutting room floor. The new rules are about to be posted soon. They have been forged in the depths of Mordor.

#1. As long as you don't annoy me too much, anything goes. Use common sense.
#2. See above.

Example:
Monday, 5pm. Juicy posts a photochop of Ice with a small penis and a fish head. Ice is slightly amused.
Monday, 1am. Ice woke up too early today though, is tired now and easily annoyed. Dean posts the same picture. Twice. Goodbye, Dean.

This shit stain lives in COWTOWN ALBERTA CANADA..... you're a RE-Fucking-Tard:2 cents:

I can see that happening. :1orglaugh

More and more. I'de been a GFY board stalker for about 2 years before I joined. Back when I first came here, this place was not a big surfer hangout, but I would have to say with the exception of a few, all the big guys are over on another board now days.

Various reasons apply as to why, but for the most part you can still utilize GFY for work, just like the old days. You just have to be careful. I posted about some shit I needed done about 2 weeks ago and got 20 e-mails telling me to send the content that I would need worked on and then I would be given a price on the work......:1orglaugh The vast majority of these e-mail came from an @yahoo adress..... mother fucker please.

I've lost my surfer...............has anybody seen my surfer?:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh True...true!!!

You have to think about the intention of the rule. In the past, posting of someones real name and address and an attack against them personally (like saying they are a drug addict) have resulted in banning. Besides most of these rules are put into place so the moderators have the right to kick you off, it doesn't say anywhere that they have to...

Yes the intent of the rule is what should matter. Unfortunately one glaring example of how this was lost over the years is the no forum linking rule. This was added after someone was spamming their forum and recruiting people from GFY.

Now, you can't even link to a mainstream domain forum or wherever else some newsworthy or interesting post is made. You almost can't even mention their names anymore. Someone breaking your copyrights by posting siterips of your content on a forum? Sorry, you can't mention the forum or post a link to it. The current moderators don't understand the original intent of the rule and will ban you for it and remove the link no matter how helpful it might be. If it's a blog or tube or any other type of site it's fine. Just no forums. :1orglaugh

they understand the origin of that rule IMO, but in GFY's best interest... (or best perceived interest) is not allowing any links to any forums since it may happen that some people will find these forums usefull and start posting there instead of here

at least this is how I understand it

I would agree if it's an industry forum, but not in the example given of the forum filled with content theft, siterips, etc.. Another interesting note is that XBIZ is always allowed to post links to articles, and they have a very well known prominent adult industry forum. Is it because they have articles too even though the Boards link is one-click away? If one of the other industry forums were to throw a blog up on the front page instead would they then be able to link to their sites and we could actually mention their site names? The intent is lost, that's what I think.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The sounds about right. If you can appreciate moving targets then GFY is perfect for you. :thumbsup

I loves latin men in tight thongs

LMAO the guy lives in LA you idiot :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

did someone say chop contest:)

A hundred and ten thousand posts and you don't have a pic of Ice by now? You kidding? :disgust

i think maybe like 55k of those are actual posts and not automated in some way :helpme

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

It really shows how insecure the mods are about this board IMO. It's one thing to post links to another board in an effort to promote the board but it's something different to post links to boards that may be of use to webmasters here. You can go on any of the other webmaster boards and post a link to GFY and nobody gives a shit. You come here and post a link to another board and *BAM*...yer gone. Fugg'n ridiculous if you ask me :1orglaugh

I look at it this way.. If you did something wrong thats public record, relating to the issue, and, they were at fault, and it might help someone from being burned again, game on.

lmao... Noooooiiiice

:mad:And you say I use a bot

the bot i gave you sends me back info everytime you use it

I have records!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Those pics above are funny.

Dean... Your point is valid and has been for a while. This rule was rewritten a while ago. The new rules actually are going live tomorrow. The intent of this rule was to protect peoples personal lives and their families. The new rules are more clear and make it abundantly more apparent as to what we define as a personal attack.

Here is how they will be written:

3) Anything goes, except do not post people's personal information, or attack peoples personal lives or families, stick to the issues and the bullshit. ANY WHOIS information is considered public information, it is not considered personal information. So don't bitch at us if you put your home address as your personal info on WHOIS.

4) Don't post links to illegal sites. Calling someone a Pedo, Refferring to them as a Pedo, Stating they promote Pedo, posting of Pedo links, and Death Threats are now grounds for immediate banning.

I saw the forum links rule in the other thread. Very nice, Eric. It's good to see these start making better sense and being updated to meet the current needs of the forum.

Shouldnt that always be the correct info???
You want them to put a fake adres there??? tsss :)

You can use a PO Box, which is a real address, or private whois, which is not against ICANN's regulations.

Who would have thought LA gets enough snow to shovel...

new rules coming
