Are conspiracy theories Autobahn?
I have been working with my friends here to figure out what will cause a ban on this forum. We eliminated small caps as a reason, so we are leaning more towards conspiracy theories. Are conspiracy theories banned from this forum?

Open Positions in games
Around 20 cases were finished today, so there are a lot of games looking for replacements. Just check the in game messages before joining, since a few will be cancelled. The rest didn't have cheating in them. If you take over a position that isn't leading in centers and post here with the link I'll reimburse the points.

convenient LED table lamp with touch sensor

Halogen lamps are required to see the most powerful requirement improves through 2017. These lamps are the most just like conventional incandescents and will benefit from customer understanding, low preliminary cost and good lamp quality. Moreover, a rise in automobile manufacturing will encourage halogen front lamps requirement.

The mods are going to take a less active approach in moderating the forum from now on. We will only silence cheating accusation, discussion of ongoing gunboat games, blatant spam, death/violence threats, and explicit sexual topics and links.

And as always, we will use rule 9:
Follow common sense
The rules above are mainly ones which might not be obvious; just because a specific rule isn't given here doesn't mean moderators can't stop people ruining the server for others!

"you know old Bubba don't inhale" which, to me, was the *worst* offense Bill Clinton ever committed! I mean, the world of toking is generally a bunch of laid-back, easy goin' dudes and dudettes. Unlike the alcohol culture, in which it's more like, "Come on dude, have another drinnnnnk!" until you are stumbling drunk, the green culture is more like, "Hey Dude, wanna hit this?" to which you can either share in the smoke, or pass it on. Either way, it's generally a polite low pressure situation. So if accepted the joint/bong but did not inhale (meaning took a puff and wasted a big cloud of smoke) he was just being a douche and a poser trying to fit it/look cool, because it would have been perfectly ok to pass on.

I just want to emphasise the last part of the list of things that are still against the rules - "explicit sexual topics and links". Links is the main part of this. People can still get into a lot of trouble at their work for opening links to pornography or the like, so these are still not allowed.

Go ahead and post about sex all you want, but please refrain from posting links.

@Nigee Yeah, I know. It was more something on my mind than something you prompted. I think I'm usually one of the few to +1 you ;-)

But as a regular user, I tend to have seen mods silence some ppl, locking some threads, and the occasional ban. But from my perspective now, I never realised that the work on multis vs the work on forum seems to be split about 95/5. Just something I'd like to emphasise in all this... talking about how we talk.

@TMOW - sometimes it is good fun to take the mickey out of the Mods, not for any particular reason, just because you can.
For a long time now it seems we have had a robust response to meta-gaming and outright cheating, I've started to forget what it was like in the 'bad old days' before jmo et al but of course familiarity breeds contempt.
With regard to the 'new Mod policy with the forum' I think it has been good fun when various players have been silenced for a while or had points docked, it gives us mere mortals a great chance to 'kick out against the all-powerful Ruling Elite'. I'm not convinced a lot needs to be changed and I hope all the new and old Mods continue to participate as and when they see fit on the forum regardless of the banter and stick you all might take for having the funny symbol.
There is not a long wrong with the site at the (j)mo, I hope you newbies can keep up those high standards.
If people really objected to the way the forum/site is run they probably voted with their mouse click yonks ago so just keep on keeping on regardless.
You'll never stop the moaners, just remember that todays news is tomorrows chip wrapping
If we really thought the Mods weren't doing good there would be a a-howling and a-wailing and a gnashing of teeth :-)

People can still get into a lot of trouble at their work for opening links to pornography or the like, so these are still not allowed.

Its definitely the fault of the guy who put a xxxfreemidgetpornwithtrannysthetypethatdrauglikes.com and not the fault of the guy who copy and pasted the link in his address bar. I mean, whenever I see a link, I instinctively go on it. Also, the links aren't even in hypertext, you have to manually copy and paste them into an address bar instead of clicking on it, so someone who goes on an explicit link is going willingly. But it's still all the fault of the person posting the link. OK.

Nonesense, ILN. The guy who posts links is providing a product that is valuable to some, not valuable to others. Isn't it time for those who might click to take individual responsibility for their actions? It's not like there's any doubt where such a link might lead.

Stop your censorship.

"The mods are going to take a less active approach in moderating the forum from now on"
So we can write anything about wars in Afghanistan/Syria that involve disgusting and repulsive acts of sickening sexual violence and this is acceptable, but individuals on the forum passing comments on sexual thoughts or fantasies will be silenced.
