[Point] Suggested Amendment to Posting Rule 7

Post by Surlethe »

XaLEv has conveyed this proposal regarding a possible amendment to Posting Rule 7 to me to present before the Imperial Senate. I have therefore done so, according to the procedures laid out by the honorable Chancellor. Thus:
XaLEv wrote:There is this from the registration page:
You agree not to post any threats, hate literature, or explicit pornography (defined here as images depicting genitalia)
This is the only place I know of where explicit pornography is defined "in the open" as it were, but it's in a somewhat out of the way place, and many people are unaware of it. While the condensed policy thread in Announcements did clarify many things, this subject is still unclear to many. Adding the definition of explicit pornography to PR7 would do a great deal to prevent such confusion.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

That makes a lot of sense to me, I would approve the idea.

Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.- Malcolm Reynolds, Captain of Serenity, which sums up my feelings regarding the lawsuit discussed here.

Good idea.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
