Banned for inaccurate content?
« on: December 13, 2011, 11:12:53 AM »
I hope you read this in a light tone, as that's the way I meant it, and as I just registered maybe I should keep my mouth shut, but it just struck me as funny.

Having just registered on the forum I did take the time to read the forum rules, and noticed that "inaccurate" content is not allowed.  I hope I don't mis-spell anything in this post ;)  I can understand prohibiting seemingly intentional inaccurate or misleading content, but that's not what the rules said when I read them.  I wonder how many spelling mistakes it takes to get kicked out  ;D

Anyway, I'm glad to be here, and I haven't been banned from any forum I've been on yet.  Maybe this will be my first time.   :o

All the best.

Hm, where? I can't find that in http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,7738.msg59579.html#new

Nobody's been banned for typos, heh.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Where do you see this? I don't see anything like that in http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,7738.0.html.

Perhaps someone here should study law to create more appropriate rules for our forum :)

If merely posting inaccurate (or useless) material got you banned, I'd have been kicked off long ago. I never DELIBERATELY posted anything like that, but I've given my share of bad advice. I don't usually post nowadays unless it's about something I've actually run into myself.
