keantoken,

I have edited your post. We do not discuss religion in these forums.

My pride just got hurt... I have too much!
I guess I'll just have to get used to the forum...

Sorry about the pride.

It's #6

That is a well established set of rules that will keep peace in DIYAudio for a long time... Peace in these places comes from a set of rules that isn't necessarily controlling, but strict. This kind of moderation will keep everyone happy who abides by it! The only ones who will be discontent will be the ones who try to defy it. The best part of this setup, though, is that the moderators are in a place where they can afford to be somewhat humorous while still doing their job. This means that they can hurt someone's pride without necessarily insulting them.

It is good when someone lays down the rules with a bit of humor, because it is more likely that people will read through the whole thing because they will like the style of writing.

This is only the second forum that I've registered to, but I think that I am starting to get the hang of things.

Thanks for reading through them again. I wish more would.

Other forums may allow a lot more but we pride ourselves on having forums that all feel comfortable using regardless of age, gender, race or religion. The only stipulation beyond acting civil is that you communicate in English.

As with any particular culture, it takes a while to grasp.
I had a bit of a rough time at first- I thought I was a clever, edgy character and got in some trouble!

We get lots of positive comments that this is the only audio site where the writer can stand to discuss things because the other places are too aggressive; the intent is to "win" not learn more through discussion.

Of course some seem to never catch on....

You, Kean , seem to be catching on admirably

I guess that I just stumbled on to one of the best... The last forum I joined was about game system emulation, and a lot of young people are on there so it's hectic at times... I got burned to the ground because I thought it was a place where I could express my opinions more freely and ended up acting somewhat immature because I wasn't really trying to control myself. I certainly hope that this site lasts a long time!
