I thank the members of our team for stepping in and trying to answer the questions the voters demand answers to. Well done guys.
As the running mate of Playa's platform I want to know two things:Originally Posted by northernbillfan
1. Why is bedard/freeman so much more awesome than my platform?
2. What do you intend to do about zone grammar and the unintended consequences of its misuse?

In answer to your first question I have to ask you this, are you running? Is bedard/freeman more awesome than your platform??? These words confuse me. It looks like you are running with a statement like that.Originally Posted by paulB
Secondly, we can not go around being grammar police to the entire Zone. The thing that makes our community unique is the wide variety of membership from all walks of life and levels of education. If we were to start policing grammar, people may be offended that we are acting above them and they may decide to move to another site.

What is your campaign's view on trolls patrolling the boards? And I am not really looking for the standard answer... There are things that can be done more diligently.
Thanks for taking the time (when you wake up) to answer my awesome question.
That's a very good question. Trolls are an internet phenomena that bewillder people to this day. Why do they troll in the first place? What do they expect to gain? No one really understands why they do what they do. It would be our stance to deal with them as expediantly as possible. We would think about instilling a policy to limit them to 5 posts per day for a certain period of time, call it a probation of sorts. If they continue to troll after the limit was lifted, they would face immediate expulsion from the Zone.Originally Posted by jamze132
I got ripped for suggesting a probation of some sort for new members.Originally Posted by northernbillfan
You think you're hot **** in a champagne glass, but you're really cold diarrhea in a Dixie cup!
This policy would not cover new members but those that present themselves as trolls. You can usually tell who is going to be a troll within the first few days. And this policy would need to be approved by the staff at teh Zone prior to being implemented.Originally Posted by Gunzlingr
Trolls generally leave after a couple of days of hitting the message boards. I have signed up for boards that had a no posting policy of 1-3 days and they didn't seem to have problems, because Trolls and Spammers don't have the patience to wait out 1 day.Originally Posted by northernbillfan
