 Fyrdman  Location: Middlesbrough UK Posts: 4,152 | The Lefties Constitution!...Maybe... Right, as I believe we have it, this private forum is free of all rules at the moment, other than that all members are lefties. Do we want to keep it that way or do we want to develop a constitution/rule set/etiquette? I quite like the idea of no rules whatsoever, except we let democracy run our forum. If someone is being a complete ass, and you feel it neccesary to eject them, put your argument up for debate as to why they should be ejected and send the proposed ejectee a PM notifying them to put a reply up. We'll then poll for X days to see whether they should be tossed. A similar system could be used for controversial members acceptance, as I've done for castille. Any preferences? Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill |

  Moderator  Location: Wales Posts: 2,203 | Constitution! bah, i thought this was to be a cruel dictatorship, run by you. I was going to become your right hand man, and when you die, take over after the advent of a vast power vaccum. I was then going to kill of my leading adversary, with a pick-axe weilding assasin. I would then have put all of y'all in Gulgas! Hows that sound pleps!

 Moderator  Location: Reading, UK. Posts: 6,104 | Y'see, your FIRST mistake was telling everybody your secret plan. Personally, I'm happy to go with the 'democratic' option - all hail General Secretary Adams! I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered. -George Best, on being asked what he did with his footballing fortunes. |

| Fyrdman Location: Middlesbrough UK Posts: 4,152 | I think Chris's talents would be better served as the KGB of our board, although telling us his secret plans wasn't exactly James Bond. Your first mission, should you choose to accept it CtC, is to infiltrate the conservatives board, i wanna know whats going on in there!

| Fyrdman Location: Middlesbrough UK Posts: 4,152 | Because I'm always curious to see what I can't, or not supposed to. And although I know it'll be nothing worth seeing in the end, I've got images of them discussing tactics to one-up us, which we can't have. it just makes sense to know what the competition is up to, even if they're up to nothing.

| BANNED-Warned multiple times about instigating. User then reported topics multiple times to mess with staff. Posts: 4,412 | Is this a potential action submitted to the council for debate, or a secret edict from the General Secretary? Either way, I'd like to suggest that we limit debate on such items to a more secure channel in case we've been infiltrated. By PM or email? If it's just a joke, well then, HA! You guys are a scream!  |

| Moderator Location: Reading, UK. Posts: 6,104 | I hereby volunteer CtC to 'cosy up' to Mr.V! Hopefully, he'll get discovered as a double agent, and I move one step further up the chain of command....ahhh...the power.... I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered. -George Best, on being asked what he did with his footballing fortunes. |

| Retired  Posts: 7,312 | Was this thread meant to be in the Lefties private forum? It sounds like it but it's in general.... "...with like-minded people one cannot discuss. With like-minded people one can only participate in a church service, and you know how I feel about church services." Ayaan Hirsi Ali |

Otherwise, I quite like those rules in fact. Any updates on the snooping into the Conservatives forum? Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill | |

I'll hold them off and, if they don't back off, my counter-revolutionaries will destroy all beer-making facilites in the country! You have been warned, Comrades!! Don't make me do anything you'll regret! I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered. -George Best, on being asked what he did with his footballing fortunes. |
