I would like to ask some questions about the rules that has been posted. I do not mean to disrespect any decisions that has been made in the rule making, However some rules don't make sense to me.
Is there a MODERATOR / ADMINISTRATOR list anywhere?

- Spam and stupid posts will be deleted on the spot. Members that frequently spam, be it intentional or not will be subject to administrative action. Posts that consist of only smileys, one liners, or nonsense qualifies as spam. If you wish to spam, please use the spam forum.
---- Who judges if a post is stupid? What give anyone the right to call someones post stupid? If it is out of topic and out of context, that is one thing, but judging ones post as stupid is so individual it can not be judged by moderators on a fair level. What is your view on this?
- 1. Unintelligible and unreadable posts will be deleted on sight. Post as clearly as possible. This includes using spelling and grammar to the best of your abilities. 2.Do not post in a language that is not English and do not post in Internet languages such as l33t or self-made languages. Clear posts help you and others understand what you're saying, anything that is difficult to read or is an eyesore only creates problems. When posting, keep in mind that you should type in a manner that is universally understandable.
----- Unintelligible are a definition of where it is being posted. If it, once again is out of context and in the wrong thread, it will most likely be Unintelligible, but this is also a matter of reading the situation, how it is posted, to whom it is posted and so on.
- Racist and prejudice remarks or behavior is intolerable. Inflammatory remarks of another's race, culture, country, religion, sexual orientation, gender is prohibited.We do not allow threads or posts that contain such remarks. We do not allow “hating” on anyone for any reason. Any member in violation will be noted and dealt with accordingly and may be subject to the highest severity of punishment.
- See above
- Isn't denying us the right to speak in our own language a type of offensive rule? I find it offensive, that posts may not be made in Swedish, Finnish, Japanese, Portuguese etc, will be deleted and suppressed. However, Instead I think that posts in other languages should be explained by the poster. I also wonder when you will judge a post as unreadable due to grammar failure and wrong using of words, seeing as this is a forum with members from all over the world, (and under my impression most are from europe). Not to mention the fact that a poster might be a dyslectic person, or someone who just simply has trouble with writing and/or formulating him/herself.
- Creating threads that resemble or is the same as another active thread is not allowed. Please search before you create a thread. There is always a chance that the thread you are about to make already exists. If you do create a thread that is similar or identical, it will either be merged or deleted.
- Bumping threads is absolutely acceptable if there is good reasoning behind it. If you wish to bump a topic that has not gotten many views or any replies after posting, or a thread that still has much potential, we will accept it. However, we do not tolerate necro-ing threads. What is necro-ing threads? It's when a member posts in a thread that ceased to be active or relevant to the forum a very long time ago. It's fine to post in threads that are a few months old as long as it has good reasoning but it should not become an active habit.
- If you find a thread that IS what you wanted to post, but is older than a couple of months, are one allowed to bump it then? When will it be judged as irrelevant, specially if it is bumped, it obviously is requested that someone wants that thread to be active once more. Once again this is a matter of how you read the surroundings around the situation and thread itself.
- Flaming, insulting or humiliating staff in any form will not be tolerated. Anyone that is in violation will be dealt with quickly and harshly.
- Does questioning the staff count as any of the above? If so I am terribly sorry.
