Please read the Board Rules before registering:

**Note: These are the current rules of the board but they are ALL open to discussion and possible amendments/repealments may take place through a period of debate followed by a simple majority vote.**

1. 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.

CB would be greatly improved if Jane and (less so) Monty were unbanned IMO.

You don't get enough of someone posting things just to try and get under other people's skin with LB?

I do think the format/design of my forum is better. But I don't know Mark's motivation for wanting a merger.
My motivation is simplification.

I prefer the way Blue has designed her forum, but Monty really annoys me. I don't think he has ever added anything good to any of the forums. I don't know the other Jane well at all and I don't remember the spamming people have spoken about so I really couldn't offer an opinion on merging in regards to her.

Mark you should change the background to black. We have always been creatures of the night. lol

It is difficult to change the theme and buttons etc. I tried at GFF, it was going to be ruby red and crisp white, but I made a complete mess of it. In fact GFF still has recovered from my attempts.

It's not really taking things seriously.... it's discussion. Because this is a.... forum. Where people.... discuss things. That's kinda the.... point.

Word word word ellipses ellipses ellipses ellipses word.

STOP the POTS merger with CB! lol

The bleak reality for POTS is that it will likely die without the support of CB. I've been observing the post counts recently and it's not looking good.

Great and accurate prediction.

Pearl has been dead for almost a year as I rightly predicted almost 5 years ago.

You predicted nothing. Anyone can say anything, and sometimes some of those things happen.
If it takes four-FIVE years for someone's "prediction" to happen, I would hardly call it a prediction.

I predict this place is going to die once I create a premium .com domain website to replace it, and put money into it....and make it last forever. And give it lots of features. And the ONLY reason people here wouldn't go over there, is if they just don't like me, or how I plan on running it. If the people here quit going there and here eventually, it will just be because they get sick of these kinds of message boards and/ or sick of all of each other altogether.

Go "predict" something on the lottery now, Mark. And maybe in 5 years I'll go play it.
