A new Code of Conduct for the HubPages Forums?
Yes it has merit. A total ban and spanking for all atheists and liberals, where do I sign?
Did you ever think that there might not be a need for a direct reference?
Did you try this http://hubpages.com/faq/ ? And sorry unofficial rules can't be posted, because once posted they will become official.
My favorite
Deborah, the OP's intentions are not to change the rules, rather he intends to make the existing ones easier to understand. Now - that's his intention. No one said that he was rewriting the rule book and let's not forget that HP can accept or decline his offer.
I'd imagine he is going to create something that leaves no room for confusion, as often happens when it comes to rules, laws and legalese.
Don't forget how you were dealt with by some hubbers, when you kindly offered free readings a few weeks ago. At the time, I felt you were unduly mauled by a few individuals.
Instead of us all paying lip service to the right to opinion and free speech, let's deliver instead - and withdraw judgementPretty Froggy, do me favor and take a look at OP hubs, ok?
I have read some Misha. I'm not saying his idea is wonderful, I'm saying 'let him/her get on with it'. Rewriting or adjusting (or whatever) the codes of conduct (anywhere) is not my cup of tea. I'm assuming it's something the OP enjoys doing. Besides which - that still doesn't mean anything will change
Perhaps it should have read 'revised' then. Anyway - the decision to revamp, alter, adjust, renew etc etc will always remain the decision of HP, so I'm not going to lose sleep over it

I won't argue about inane as this is a new word for me, but redundant definitely. Redundancy has its place in technology, but in human relations it usually causes unnecessary tension.
lol, Misha, Don't ask. It was really annoying that one of the first comments to this thread was a question if he discussed this with the hub-team. Of course not. It's only a forum thread that asks a harmless question. And you know that.
Believe it or not my question was absolutely honest. And there is no coincidence that Paul chimed in with clarification - this does not happen every day. I can't help it if you don't understand why - but somehow I think you do.
LOL Pacal, seriously, do you think any veteran would let some dark horse control freak to dictate the "Code Of Conduct"? Gimme a break. Some noobs will pick the bait, but veterans will ensure this will not be a big number.
I know it is not, you did not disappoint me. Somehow I like it better than Haunty though, but I can stop using it if you prefer.
And I do have faith in people, that's one of the reasons I asked my first question. If I knew this was authorized by HP, I would take it differently. Otherwise I am just having fun, and invite you to do the same
No, they shouldn't and there isn't any SANE reason to point out other hubbers, simply because of their actions. The forums are a public domain, based on HubPages. These people have just as much right to their own opinions as everyone else does.
There is NO slave mentality. Not unless you feel like you're being treated like a slave for some odd reason.
Yes, there are some people who mock others. Then again, there is also a bunch of hubbers, who will jump into a thread, just to simply HI-JACK the thread and take it off topic. What do you suppose is done with them?
Sorry, if you feel like you're being criticized. There are lots of people who are criticized, but simply go about their business.
No, there shouldn't be a list. Unless YOU want to be at the top of the list yourself. Therefore, we know who to start with first?
Legal issues? There are no legal issues or even laws being broken, by one person voicing their opinion over the other. There is already enough restrictions and clarity about the rules.

I can't explain my qualifications or potential, I can however show you
Okay, maybe we should give back the thread. Damage done.
Everyone DELETE their posts...... - lyricsingrayposted 9 years ago0
Everyone repeat their posts
IF everyone deletes their posts.....then there will be no responses and it will instantly fade to the bottom of the pile, just like some of the other useless threads already gone.
And, you're point is what exactly? That I decided not to participate in a forum thread. Cool. I'm impressed you found one.
You can be, Cagsil. With 14583 posts in 4 months (130 posts every day - on average), I am impressed you didn't find a post with a worthy cause. Or did you have no guts to hi-jack it? Come on, say something but don't forget to type many many
sI wasn't offended, if that's what you think.
My biggest problem is that I don't trust 95% of the organizations who claim to help people with the money they receive and yet, do very little. Hence, why I started Cagsil and it's basis for helping others.There was a survey done in 2000(I'm pretty sure it was in 2000), but the TOP 200 U.S. Based non-profit and charitable organizations.......NONE of which fell within the guidelines of the federal requirement of 5% minimum requirement of total revenue generated, was spent on what was claim.
The highest I do believe, if I remember correctly, was 1%.
Yeah, I have a reason not to trust them....and some people wonder why enough isn't being done to help those here, but want help outside the country? Go figure, huh.

Me too.....this thread is too restrictive.
- lyricsingrayposted 9 years ago0
hey.
you guys hijacked the thread from the first hijack.
It is a nice conversation makes me smile
Haunty, I knew you a little as PV and I always thought you are a sweet person.
On that note, I'm leaving the thread. see you guys tomorrow.- lyricsingrayposted 9 years ago0

Will such a document (in its unhyjacked form) include a help guide?
You know: What to do when you have been Banned under Duress
Or: How to Take a Troll out of play, In 3 Steps without suffering pergotory?
Or: How to Protect your point of view, when attacked by a Moose in the Forums?
I don't believe any of these issues are dealt with within the existing rules.PD I think you need to borrow my invisibility cloak
Rules are always open to personal interpretation or in some cases, abject ignorance.
For my part, I think there's always room for improvement, however small that may be. Of course the same fact remains - even if HP admin rewrote the entire rule book, there'd still be complaints, loopholes exploited etc etc.
It's in our nature to fight among ourselves, rules are kind of superfluous reallyFrogs don't seem to fight or get in trouble too much. So just watch the frog.
You're right Haunty, I don't. It's a waste of good energy, more so when I believe there is no resolution. And when I do, it's only when I can physically see who it is I need to tackle.
Besides which, I'd much rather spend my days smiling, happy - and eating really interesting pastries
