This version of chat will change a lot. Basically we are getting rid of the insults and personal attacks.
What we are noticing is that by catering to a few individuals who get a thrill out of posting insults and making derogative comments, we are chasing away A LOT of people who don't want to participate in a site that has this sort of content.
The number of people who read C&C and decide never to come back, is greater than the ones who actually get enjoyment out of calling each other a "Fag" or "Cunt" just for kicks.
We will lay out a clear set of rules for the forum. Everybody is expected to follow them.
Some of you will complain at first, because nobody likes new rules, but I know you will enjoy the new way things will run here. Some of you might leave to never come back, as long as you were not banned the doors will be opened for you to come back.
For those that stay, I promise you we will have a new crop of good and interesting people to talk to. There will be a better level of conversation and association with the members unlike anything you have ever seen here before.
There will be some new rules regarding Moderators on the site. The Moderators themselves will have a new code of conduct that will require them to maintain a professional courteous demeanor at all times. In turn, the members are expected to maintain a level of respect for the Moderators at all times... The days of personal arguments with the Mods and Admins are over. There will be a new respect for the position, and a new level of behavior that will be expected out of people in this position...
