Absolutely zero tolerance on spamming and flooding. Users can be banned for life immediately for a single infraction. Flooding is defined as FOUR posts or more with the same or similar content within a period of TEN minutes or less or FOUR shouts or more with the same or similar content within a period of SEVEN minutes. 2. No overt hate speech/links to overt hate speech is allowed. Users can be banned for life immediately for a single infraction. 3. Flaming (i.e. insulting attacks on other members) is allowed ONLY in the FLAME WARS section. It will not be tolerated anywhere else on the board and any infractions can lead to a lifetime ban. 5. Any Member who creates a 'sockpuppet' account (i.e. a fake account) will be suspended for a period of no less than 90 days. 6. Any Member caught impersonating another member in the shoutbox will be suspended for at LEAST one week. Further infractions of this kind may lead to a lifetime ban. 7. Rules 1 and 2 also apply to the Shoutbox. 8. Any Member who does not log in for a period of two months will be immediately terminated. 9. Supreme Adjudicators will be elected to a term not exceeding ONE calendar year (365 days). 10. All suspensions may be appealed. An appeal must be made within 24 hours of notice of a suspension and any submissions must be posted in the Penalty Box within 48 hours of the notice. If 24 hours passes without an appeal, the Member will begin serving his/her suspension. All Members of CB may be involved in the appeal process. The Supreme Adjudicator will render a final decision which may include: a) upholding the original suspension; b) amending the suspension period (either higher or lower); nullifying the suspension. 12. Any Member may ask for a vote to impeach the Supreme Adjudicator. In 30 days, a vote will be held to determine whether or not the Supreme Adjudicator should stay in his/her role. During the intermediary period, a thread will be created in Board Announcements, wherein the members of CB may debate the motion to impeach. If the vote is unanimous, the Supreme Adjudicator will be removed immediately and the Member who launched the impeachment motion will be installed as the Interim Supreme Adjudicator. Members including the deposed Supreme Adjudicator will have 14 days to declare their candidacy for Supreme Adjudicator in Board Announcements. 30 days after the deadline for announcement of candidacy, an election will be held. If only one member declares his/her candidacy, he/she will automatically become Supreme Adjudicator at the expiration of 30 days. If no member declares his/her candidacy, the Interim Supreme Adjudicator will assume the position of Supreme Adjudicator at the expiration of 30 days after the deadline for candidacy. He/she will be Supreme Adjudicator for a term of one year. If the motion to impeach fails, the Member who launched the motion will be suspended for a period of 120 days for causing undue instability to the Board and for damaging the reputation of the Supreme Adjudicator. Any Member who invokes Rule 12 may withdraw his/her invocation at any time before the day of the scheduled impeachment vote at no penalty. 16. No member may change his/her Member Name more than ONE time per year up to a maximum of THREE name changes. Name changes will be approved or denied by the discretion of the Supreme Adjudicator or Interim Supreme Adjudicator if applicable. 17. No member or guest of Chatterb0x may post any altered picture, video or audio recording of any other mmber or guest of Chatterb0x without that Member or Guest's expressed written permission. Furthermore, no member or guest of Chatterb0x may post any altered picture, video, or audio recording of any mmber or gest's family members, friends, acquaintances, or colleagues without the expressed written permission of that member or guest. Any violation will lead to an automatic 100 day suspension from Chatterb0x. A subsequent violation will result in a 1,000 day suspension from Chatterb0x. A third violation will result in a 10,000 day suspension from Chatterb0x. A fourth violation will result in a 25,000 day suspension from Chatterb0x. 18. Under exceptional times of threats (internal and/or external), and backed by a simple majority vote of Members, the Supreme Adjudicator may declare martial law whereby all rules will be immediately suspended. The Supreme Adjudicator will have then been granted full authority for a period of up to 30 days to carry out whatever action(s) he/she deems necessary to protect and preserve the wellbeing of Chatterb0x and its Members. 19. Chatterb0x Election Day will be September 7 of every year. All Active Members as of 9:00 AM Atlantic Time on August 31 will be listed as candidates; at which time the poll will open. Members serving suspensions will not be eligible. The poll will close at 9:00 PM Atlantic Time on September 7. The winner will become Supreme Adjudicator of Chatterb0x at 12:00 AM Atlantic Time on September 8. 20. In the event of a Supreme Adjudicator's resignation, death, or physical/mental incapacity to fulfill the role, the Member with the second amount of votes in the previous Chatterb0x election will become Interim Supreme Adjudicator effective immediately. If there was no sole second place finisher, the previous Supreme Adjudicator will become Interim Supreme Adjudicator effective immediately. The successor will retain his/her Interim Supreme Adjudicator position unless altered via Rules 12, 19, or this Rule. 21. Any member who suggests or actively tries to split up the Slammy Gang will be charged with treason and if convicted by a simple majority vote, be banned from Chatterb0x for life. 22. The threshold for conviction for violations of Rules 3, 5, and 17 is beyond a reasonable doubt. 23. The Supreme Adjudicator has full discretion to edit or delete any posts he/she believes could, did, or are causing instability to Chatterb0x. 24. The Supreme Adjudicator may suspend a member he/she suspects of treasonous or pernicious activity for up to SEVEN days without a formal charge. 25. Any member who intentionally causes instability to Chatterb0x through pernicious activity will be charged with causing a disturbance to Chatterb0x. If convicted by a simple majority vote, he/she will be sentenced to a suspension of between 90 to 999 days. |

To increase the post turnover here at CB everyone should take a turn each month posting a minimum of 50 posts/threads. This could be made a condition of CB membership. For example:One month PJ would have to make a minimum of 50 posts then next month it could be Monty's turn then mine then...and finally back to PJ. |

For everyone who did not understand that post... ...That is the easiest way to make 50 posts within A MONTH. Maybe it it were 100 posts within a month... Nope... If it were 100 posts in a month, the guy would come to say "good morning", "good afternoon", "good evening" and "good night". |

That's a good point. It could encourage flooding and spamming which would violate Rule #1. However, the idea in general is a good one. I'm not sure if I would like to force people to post though as many enjoy reading posts much more than making posts. Thanks for the suggestion and feedback.

Mark, maybe if the task were to make 50 posts (maybe less, I'd guess just 25 or 20) on certain especifical issues to be decided by the other members? It would be different than just coming here 50 times per month and say "hello", people would have to actually post on something. For example: August is Nate's month; the other members decided Nate will have to make 25 posts on soccer... September is Jem's month; the other members decided Jem will have post 25 times about neoclassical architecture... (not just say "hey everyone" 50 times). Other members would help them by asking them questions on those issues, and everytime they asked a question on that issue, they would be making a new post, then deducting it on the amount of posts they have to do. |

This is my idea: 1. Every month about the day 15, Mark opens a thread asking: "Which theme would you suggest for one member to post about the next month?"; each member will suggest a theme on that thread (I'm positive that members won't suggest absurdities because they will know there's the risk that THEY could be appointed to post on that theme). 2. About the day 20 (five days for people to suggest themes), Mark copies all the themes suggested to a poll, asking: "Which of THESE themes should be picked for the next month?"; each member would be allowed to vote for TWO of the themes suggested (because if they vote for their own theme, they will also vote for someone else's theme and risks for all themes having the same number of votes will be lower). 3. After the votation on the poll (a dealdine of 5 days), Mark announces the winner theme (if two or more of the most voted themes end up with the same number of votes, Mark will have the Minerva's vote by picking the theme he considers the LESS RISKY TO CAUSE POSTS THAT WOULD BREAK RULES among the winner themes). 4. About the day 25 Marks open a new poll, with the names of all members, asking: "Which member should make X posts (20, 30, 40 posts I don't know) on the chosen theme within the next month?" 5. About the day 30 the poll to chose the member is closed and Mark announces whose member will have to do the posts on the previously chosen theme. If two or more members get the same number of votes, Mark will have the Minerva's vote and will just choose whoever he wanted to, based on rational criteria (of course if Vyr and Xingador win with the same number of votes, Mark will pick Xingador because he knows Vyr is not gonna post anyway). 6. The member will have the whole next month to make the posts on that theme. Other members would help by asking him/her questions on that theme. |

Forcing people to do anything is the best way to lose what little membership there is here now. |

Yes, that's what I figured pretty much myself, soon after I read what I posted. Too much work for few, if any, gains. |
