New Rules

If you plan to post comments, please click through.

Geez, it's getting so a girl can't take a little time off to down a couple 40's and watch the Full House marathon.  And you know how cranky I get without my Saget.

I don't know when Amber Night: The Blog became The Hague: The Blog, but I have no interest whatsoever in serving as ground zero for disagreements that have nothing to do with this site or its content.  The comments have been getting more heated than usual, and are starting to resemble the WoW forums a little too closely.  That's not good.

So if you plan to post, please follow these guidelines:

- Be as mean as you want with me (as long as you have a point), but be respectful to other commenters.

- Be weird if you want.  Weird is good.  That's what we're here for.  Hostile, however, is not of the body.

- Try to stay on topic, or at least on the same blog.

- If you are angry at the owner of another website, then go to that website and yell at them.  At this point I still do not control the internet.  But check back frequently.

- If your own website has questionable or non-standard editing practices, please do not link to it from here. 

- If someone still doesn't understand or agree with you after a few rounds, let it go.  Breathe.  Get yourself one of those cute little zen gardens.

In turn, I promise: 

- to be respectful.  To you, the commenter, that is.  Business as usual to everyone else. 

- if I edit your comment, I will completely remove it and note that I did so.  Unless you are an obvious troll or spammer, and then I'll just remove it.

- to be either drunk or stoned every time I post.  Hell that's an easy one. 

Okay, back to work everyone.

    I missed it too, which isn’t like me. I’m usually one of the “mentally challenged”.

    So sorry Amber to have kicked all that off and annoyed you, it won’t happen again.

    Yeah everyone I was the retard.

  7. Psychochild Says:

    I still get a special exception, right Amber? ;) I’m a game admin, genetically incapable of being nice to people. Job requirement and all that. ;)
    Take care,

  8. Amber Says:

    Yes Brian, I believe the ADA grants special exceptions to game designers, game admins, and airport screners. =P

    @AT: Accepted, and not to worry. Wasn’t aimed solely at you, but I appreciate the step-up.

    That’s a laugh. You don’t even follow your own rules. How do you expect commenters to abide by these rules if you can’t even set a mature example?

    Oh, wait, I forgot: Feminazi. Never mind!

    Which rule(s) did I break hon? And if you could cite references, that would be grand.
