Old vs. new FBI forum rules

This was never mentioned before, Emily Kim67—you should probably head to the eye doctor ASAP.😁

When I went, he told me that almost everything regarding his vision is actually fine, and that I just need to sort things out with a neurologist—not to mention the psychiatrist, but let's not go there! Anyway, it's all written right here in the report (yup, found it, copying and pasting it now🎉):

On this forum it is not allowed:

- to provoke, harass, or insult others,
- to spam,
- to start a thread and then delete the opening post or edit it until it's unrecognizable,
- any kind of encouragement toward pedophilia, necrophilia, zoophilia, or other paraphilias will result in an immediate ban,
- insults based on nationality, race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation are also strictly prohibited.
- please maintain good grammar, both in your posts and your thread titles (use capital letters for the first word, and make sure the title briefly explains what the topic is about—don't just use titles like "Help," "Please help," or "Need advice," etc...)
(...)

And here is the "royal" part:

On this forum it is not allowed:
(...)

- to think twice before you post,,
...

:Azra:Pay attention to that last point. And to the other bolded parts too. (I messed up regarding the spam rule, but hey, I didn't mess up *that* badly, give me some credit!)

There you have it. So, those were how the rules looked previously. And if anyone tries to tell me that the new rules sound better than the old ones, I am going to be very offended!😬
Learning from my mistakes, I really feel like that bolded part shouldn't have been included, because honestly, it felt like such a cute little mistake.

To be perfectly honest with you, if I were in your shoes, I wouldn't worry too much about it; it seems like this happens quite frequently. What can I say? It's just how it goes.🙈
Try to just ignore all those earlier posts and maybe just focus on this one; perhaps that might help. That's the best advice I can give!

To old set of rules was actually written with a rather illogical structure, if I’m being honest. It stated what wasn't allowed, but then it just spiraled into an endless list of dos and don'ts. Their intention clearly wasn't to say that thinking twice was forbidden; it just ended up reading that way because you had to mentally attach "not permitted" to every single bullet point, yes yes. I can't even be certain if it was a deliberate little quirk meant to be charming or just a mistake 😬 But they've gone ahead and fixed it so there wouldn't be any more 😁

Chloe Green61 said:To be honest, those old rules were written in such a confusing way, wasn't it? It felt like they just kept rambling on with endless lists of what you could and couldn't do without actually making much sense at all! It wasn't exactly their intention to suggest that we aren't allowed to stop and think things through twice!I mean, honestly, if you just went through and added "you aren't allowed to" to the front of every single one of those points, that’s pretty much exactly how it would end up looking!

Oh, come on now, honestly, I don't think we even need to be having this whole debate, because let's be real—we aren't exactly lacking any common sense here!

I honestly can't tell if that was actually an intentional little slip-up just to be charmingly cute or if they truly didn't realize what they were doing! 😬

Oh man, seriously—can you guys just take a second to look at this absolute beauty? 😍 Oh, wow! ćIt’s just the same old poem!ćTalk about sheer coincidence! Honestly, it didn't even matter whether it was some total accident or if it was done on purpose, because you still managed to pull a massive grin right out of me!

Just a quick disclaimer here because I really don't want anyone thinking I’m being sarcastic or making fun of the situation again! I honestly genuinely enjoyed it, I really did. But, still...

If you listen to what dustyranger64 says about how much people love to complain and nitpick over everything, you wouldn't believe it. 😁
Personally, I think it's better to be informed; one should always be prepared for the worst.

Chloe Green61 said:Honestly, I wouldn't believe half the things people complain about or get worked up over if I hadn't heard dustyranger64 say it first! 😁

I actually mentioned something similar to him, but hey, whatever works for you all!😉

It’s probably better to be aware of these things, just to stay on the safe side.

Well, I already mentioned that I know the odds are pretty slim, so there's no sense in dwelling on it. To be fair, I feel like a good chunk of the magic disappeared the moment I decided to start this thread; sometimes things just lose their charm once you start overanalyzing them too much! 😢 Regardless, I just had to give it a shot.
