I created this list for members so they could easily access a person on the BGR staff if they have any questions. Keep in mind that some of these Members are no longer signing on regularly, so I will post a star beside the names of those who member can easily get in touch with.
Mods--Feel free to edit this list to your liking.

I have bolded the names that I can consciously remember that have logged on AND posted in the last month. I apologize if I have forgotten you. I have deleted the names that I have either never seen or just cannot remember them posting.

[Stardust]

^ Not many for 100K posts per day

[TheRealVille]

According to another thread, the list of posted rules aren't really the right rules. Is this correct?

[Wildcatk23]

I thought the posted rules was the new rules.

[RunItUpTheGut]

^
From what ive always heard since the cleaning out was there are six rules and thats it, period.
I know that one guy was being a dick, but having two accounts really isnt on there.

Out of all of the mods listed anyone who frequents the site often knows whos around and who not.

[TheRealVille]

I thought the posted rules was the new rules.

According to the other thread that was cleaned up, the posted rules were old rules. And, mods could have mutiple accounts, but no one else. Maybe Torqque or Midee could post the right rules? I just use one account, so that doesn't pertain to me.

[Amun-Ra]

Don't turn this thread into the same one that I closed. If you are wanting to discuss problems about rules/mods/whatever you do so by PM to a member of staff. NOT in an open thread.

[NothingTrivial]

Is there any way we can get a set of rules posted somewhere? If not, can a Mod or Admin PM a list of them. We as users at least deserve an updated list of rules.

There is a list.

Six Member Rules

1. Don't threaten or personally attack another person on this site.
2. Don't reveal personal identities or other confidential information about anyone.
3. Don't be a racist, homophobic, or sexist.
4. Don't post pornography, links to pornography, and/or any other NSFW content in any images/avatars/signatures.
5. Don't advertise competitor or commercial sites via text or in any images/avatars/signatures.
6. Obey all applicable country, state, and federal laws when using this site.

MEMBER NOTES:

* Members: If you see anyone violating these rules please help us out by contacting a staff member. Look for an available staff member in the Currently Active Users section located at the bottom of the forum. Please send the staff member a private message with a link to the thread, username, and the post number that the rule violation occurred in.

* Members: If you feel you are being treated unfairly by one of our staff members please contact me(torQQue) or (midee1) immediately. If I am not available on BGR, contact me(torQQue) at http://www.facebook.com/jarrod.compton and/or (midee1) at http://www.facebook.com/micahlwilliams

* Members: You are welcomed to freely and openly express yourself as long as you do not violate any of the 6 rules. Violating these rules can result in a suspension and/or permanent banishment from our forums. Any illegal activity will be handed over to the appropriate authorities which could result in you being criminally prosecuted.

Six Staff Rules:

1. Follow the 6 Member Rules.
2. If someone doesn't agree with you, don't take it personal.
3. Don't interfere with discussions or delete/move content simply because you disagree or dislike the subject being discussed.
4. Moderation actions and/or warnings should only be issued if one of the 6 rules are broken.
5. Only ban or suspend someone that blatantly continues to break the rules after you have issued a friendly warning.. Some violations will require instant banishment, see Staff Notes below.
6. Do not edit another member's grammar mistakes. This is not an English class and we are not grammar police. Mobile devices are popular these days and those keypads are really small.

Staff Notes:

* Staff: Treat everyone with respect. You are a member of the community just like anyone else on here. You do not have any authority over this site or any person here. You are entrusted with editing privileges. Don't abuse these privileges. If you abuse these privileges or mistreat a member you will be immediately removed from the staff.

* Staff: All information discussed in any moderator forums or moderator sub forum is to remain confidential.

* Staff: Some violations will require instant banishment without warning. Use good judgement here when making those decisions. If someone is posting pornography, illegal content, being racist, making threats, etc., then ban their *** immediately. We encourage people to freely express themselves, but we will not be associated with that type of behavior.

* Staff: If you feel a members actions warrants banishment please provide a copy of the exact violation that resulted in the banishment. Do this before you edit or remove the rule violation that occurred. Post this information and/or screen captures, along with the members name and a link to the thread in the mod forum.

* Staff: Be helpful to members and encourage them to post. Participate and/or start discussions as often as you can. Greet new members when you can.

* Staff: Check the new members moderation queue and approve posts/threads as often as possible that do not contain any rule violations. If a rule violation occurs in the moderation queue, send the user a warning and do not approve. If it appears to be spam or a severe rule violation send the user to the banned user group. Also, do not manually approve any users in the moderation queue under "Moderate Users". Users will be automatically promoted to a registered user once they have successfully had 5 posts approved by staff members.

Am I breaking one of the 6 rules?


Members: You are welcomed to freely and openly express yourself as long as you do not violate any of the 6 rules.

No you ain't. That wasn't the purpose of the last thread.

[NothingTrivial]

I was wondering the same thing, the other thread should have never been deleted according to staff rule #3. I want to know what is a rule and what isnt, so I know what I can and cant do. Ive seen different things from different people. Would like actual confirmation from a mod or admin as to if that list is 100% set in stone.

[TheRealVille]

No you ain't. That wasn't the purpose of the last thread.

Oh, I wasn't in the last thread.

[NothingTrivial]

That def wasnt the point of the last thread, but it honestly sparked a decent discussion that should be talked about freely on here. I personally have never had 1 problem with any admin on this site, you all do a great job in my eyes, but it seems as if different people have different views on what the rules are....when in reality everyone should be following the same set of rules. That would be very beneficial in helping settle any kind of dispute.

The rules are written out very simply, if the members, and mods alike would abide by them. But, you are right, there is a lot of confusion as to what is allowed by mods, as well as members. Like you, I have no problem with any mod, but there does seem to be different interpretations of the rules.

[Wildcatk23]

Those are the new rules. The mods rules are outdated when giving infractions. Maybe causing some confusion. But the ones you have posted are the new rules.

[RunItUpTheGut]

I think we all can agree that there need to be a set of rules listed and those be the permanent rules if the 6 rules listed are not the rules anymore.
As Trivial said, its easier on both members (so they know what they can and can not do) and mods alike (so they know when and when they can not say anything).

The only reason i brought it up was over the past couple of months ive seen a lot of members walking a very fine line. They will also post the rules so that any time a mod says something they can whip out the rules and ask what they've done wrong. Most of them are just trying to get a rise, but as i said, the rules should be revised and a permanent list of rules placed so that everyone is in the know.

The problem with these "multiple accounts" thing is that mods use the IP adressess of the accounts to tell when someone is doing that. Whether it be a rule or not, it is possible for more than one person in a household to have an account. I know my little brother had a different account than me back when he lived here as a kid, thus making it appear as though we i might be doing that when in reality he wont even tell me his password lol, but he doesnt get on here that much anymore anyways.

It should be entirely up to the Admins and Mods to come up with the rules and once there in place, there set. No changing or personal rules. It would greatly help some of these members wanting answered.

As for me, im happy as can be. I think this is a great site and have no problem with it or any of the staff on here. Im just fine not milking any type of cow.

Nice:what:

[takeaknee]

I was never told what rule i broke either. It has been discussed many times multi accounts were now ok. If that changed recently i think they either should of been a post, sticky, or even a pm sent asking us to choose one. Instead stardust called a few different people out in public threads. Even calling out the different usernames. That was what my main gripe was about. I honestly dont think it was out of line.

So their is different rules for different people. Do as we say, not as we do.
They are "new unposted" rules we are supposed to know and follow.
We are now getting infractions again.
Mods can call you out openly and post info that only mods have access to.

Did i handle the situation wrong by calling him a dickhead? Yes.
Was I wrong for what I was upset, or being called out for? No.

[Wildcatk23]

Lol. When we click give infraction it still has old rules on them.

They are supposed to be mods for editing purposes only. Not to police the site. They have the ability to ban someone if they are just being an idiot and making derogatory, or racial statements. That im ok with. Im not ok with petty infractions. You used a bad word, you must sit out for 24 hours. Like we are grade schoolers.

[RunItUpTheGut]

^
Calling someone a dickhead is enough for me to believe you should have been banned.
That falls under your "acting like an idiot" claim.
My point is you should have took it to PM's.

[takeaknee]

Calling someone a dickhead, banned? Really? After all the heated football arguments we had. I just dont see one statement being ban worthy. Ecspecially after being called out. To me he broke the giving out info rule by listing my names.
If we had been told to choose one account, and warned i could see it. But not just going into threads and randomly calling out everyone with more then one account.

Am i right about that at least?

And no, calling someone a dickhead is nothing like calling someone the n word, or gay slurs. Thats what i meant by idiot post.

Should he of Pm'd me about the acounts instead of calling out my names? Especially since their is no rules being broken with the 2 accounts

The rules I posted a copy of are the new rules that TorQQue posted, and are the "revised" rules. Plus, they are under a tab at the top that is plain for all to see.

This was discussed before, there are no bad words. TorQQue put in a word filter for everybody that doesn't want to see curse words can block them. This was a big discussion earlier, when everybody was asking questions about the F-bomb. Cursing is perfectly legal, as long as it isn't an attack on someone personally.

Rule #3 for moderators gets broken A LOT by 1 or 2 mods specifically.

This site has its positives over the other one/ones. More Eastern Kentucky/Mountain coverage, and the middle school sections in particular.

The problem is some of the moderators are homers for their school and they do not hide it. We also have a respect/language problem. You almost need to be 18 to read some of the threads.

It's not nearly as bad as when you had the one from Belfry posting on here on her other account. Seems like here lately that a couple are reverting back to that same dictator smart elleck type of attitude. You have a couple that are obviously just as power hungry and hot headed as that one used to be though.

Aint that the truth. We have one mod in particular on here that has a mouth so trashy that even adults shouldn't have to be subjected. It makes one wonder what the criteria is to be a mod on here.

One mod posted that it is not allowable for the regular member to have two different accounts on here and then you have a mod that does have more than one on here doing the threatening of shutting down another memeber of the rank and file for having more than one. As RV pointed out, where in the rules does it say that you are limited to only one and where it states that mods are allowed to have multiple? The rules that have been posted on here say nothing about either case. Are some making the rules up as they go just to suit there own agendas? Does this further reinforce the Power Trip theory that is rapidly reverting back?
