Pavlik, I would be stricter. There was a guy in the marketplace who wanted to buy a Helmon to deal with aiptasia. A dispute arose about how it doesn't always eat, and so on. I shared my two cents based on my real experience with keeping Helmon. Samvel showed up, and everyone - including me - received a 10% warning for flooding in the marketplace. We don't have that many users. Of course, if everyone gets banned, the forum will collapse, but in my opinion, there should be discipline. If the conversation in a thread started by the author goes off-topic, warnings and punishments should be issued, etc. Naturally, this applies if personal attacks are made against the poster or the responder.

There is a suggestion that each participant of the forum should have their mobile phone number listed in their personal information! So that it would be possible to quickly ... reach out by phone ... (with some treats)! :-)))

And also the home address, so I can play pranks on the neighbors.

It is strange that the rules are open for discussion. Rules should not be discussed, but established.

Well, then we have the most democratic state, because our rules are not only discussed by anyone but are also followed as well. And what does a democratic state have to do with it? It doesn't have a specific owner (the owner is supposedly the whole people), but the forum does. The problem is not about the rules at all, but about how they are followed, regardless of the socio-political system.

Well, that's a matter of the administration's policy. I have a forum where I am the administrator; the traffic, of course, cannot be compared to [another forum], but when I'm confronted with claims that it's my forum, I respond that the forum belongs to the community! The admin's job is to pay for hosting. Each admin has their own policy, and they have the right to that. I really don't understand what this is about! The issue of how the rules are enforced is a problem for the moderators! And they usually discuss it in a moderator thread, hidden from the eyes of regular users. What do regular users have to do with this, huh?

I just don't understand what simple users have to do with this. Can you explain what the logic is in having users participate in the discussion of the rules? Do you think that after this they will follow them, or that it will be easier for moderators to ensure they are followed? How is this supposed to work? Just without general phrases about democracy.
