PRINCIPLES OF RULES
1) the minimisation of censorship through thread seperation for arguments where the diagnostic link to the subject has not been established
2) extremely wide tolerance of any words that fall short of advocating illegal violence.
3) A clinically diagnostic code to enable people to understand precisely why they were or might be censored.
4) transparency
5) The preference of seperation into seperate threads (where people are tactically compatible) and seperate forums (where people are tactically incompatible) over censorship at all times. And then a link to these new threeads and fora in the initial thread to allow people to find that discussion where it is relevant.
6) an independent appeal procedure going to administrators uninvolved in the discussion for anyone who has been censored.
THE RULES
0) Rules shall always be enumerated and transparent using as clear and diagnostic language as possible to aid the transparency of board functionality.
1) Censorship is always minimised. Everything that can be discussed here will be discussed.
1.1 Threats to the board must be censored. examples would include
1.1.1 Threats or advocacy of violence to human life other than through a legislative and judicial process or an violent act to prevent imminent injury to human lives on a greater scale.
1.1.2 Threats to the board which come from the owners of the website
1.1.3 Threats to the board which come from law enforcement
1.1.4 Threats and lawful requests to the board which come from police, courts or authorities as prerequistes to action by law enforcement.
2) thread seperation is ALWAYS preferred to outright censorship, where possible.
2.1 Administrators are, except in emergencies, always required to seperate threads in preference to deleting them or deleting posts.
2.2 If "relevance" (or "offtopic") or "non-diagnostic" are disputed, thread seperation is required. In addition to the new thread, a "relevance" or "diagnostic" thread elements will be generated. Links to all new threads that have been seperated on these grounds will be attached to the initial post in the thread where they appeared and be listed in the same forum as they appeared.
3) Degradation of the quality of debate can not become significant. If a post is likely to disrupt debate, administrator action will be necessary.
3.2 Porn and or Adverts will be seperated into a distinct forum as and when they appear.
3.2.1 Unless an advert directly relates to the thread subject - eg a printer offering services in a thread about producing publicity for a cause
3.3 Spam reduces the discussion quality and if it does so, and ONLY where it repeats the exact same statement 4 times or more, be censored.
3.3 Words with negative connotations, for example "nigger"; "racist"; "Zio"; "retard"; "rag head"; "bitch"; "faggot"; "cripple"; "homophobe"; "Holocaust denier"; "extremist", "fascist", "bully" where they do not advocate violence, almost never lead to violence.
Further, these words are typically insufficiently defined such that theyre designed to characterise the worst of a group along with the most moderate and or reasonable elements of a group.
While most of these accusations never actually lead to a diagnostic conclusion about anything and are mere symptoms of emotional prejudice, sometimes they can be useful in highlighting and diagnosing faulty thought processes in the individuals using them. And sometimes with societies using them or beleiving in or objecting to them. And sometimes, with the people accusing others of them.
Therefore censorship of these words and alleged beliefs thus "framing" political debate within "acceptable" bounds is a greater threat to full discussion, analysis and transparency than it is to the safety of anyone involved.
3.3.1 Offensive views are not currently censored on momentum.freeforums.net
3.3.1.1 Racism,
3.3.1.2 antisemitism,
3.3.1.3 islamophobia,
3.3.1.4 trolling
3.3.1.5 hate speech
3.3.1.6 bullying
3.3.1.7 ablism
3.3.1.8 agism
3.3.1.9 sexism
3.3.1.10 extremism
3.3.1.11 intimidation
3.3.1.12 offense
3.3.1.13 vulgarity
3.3.1.14 provocation
3.3.1.15 transphobia
3.3.1.16 speciesism
3.3.1.17 radicalisation
3.3.1.18 alarmism
3.3.1.19 fascism
3.3.1.20 NAZIsm
Any of these must be diagnostically and exhaustively defined and seconded here by a different administrator before board administrators censor on these grounds. Until we do, therefore, people accused of these things, whatever these terms mean, are safe from any administrator action except where they also breach another rule.
most ad hominem attacks are misguided or irrelevant or non-diagnostic. Some, however, are relevant and true and necessary.
3.3.2 Targets of these accusations are encouraged to object to the relevance or veracity of the accusation where they are false or irrelevant.
3.3.3 Even where the targets don't, these words will typically trigger "relevance" or "diagnostics" threads which will be generated by admins on request.
3.3.4 Admins are encouraged to seperate ad hominem relevance or diagnostics threads out from threads without being requested to do so.
3.3.5 These threads will be noted in the 1st post in the original thread by the administrator,
3.3.6 and the post will otherwise vanish from the original thread and
An intellectual questions the relevance and validity of an allegation of prejudice, like anything else. Discussions surrounding it will not be ignored here.
3.3.7 Targets of the accusation will be able to demonstrate the relevance or lack of relavance or substantion or lack of substantiation in the new threads or ignore the accusation and continue making his or her position in the original one.
3.3.8 Where sufficient demonstration of relevance and validity or lack thereof is demonstrated in the ads hominem thread, members can ask for a poll thread and the result included in the original thread post. The poll and all threads shall remain open to further discussion and poll results will be reported to the original thread on request within a 5 day period.
3.3.24 Therefore none of these words or accusations are censored at momentum.freeforums.net.
In not doing so, we hope to do more to identify and expose true intellectual crimes:- Prejudice:- preconceived opinion, actions and expectations that are not based on reason or experience.
And in doing so, discredit the perpetrators of these crimes.
We also hope to expose those engaged in false accusations of prejudice and where appropriate, expose disputed questions about where prjudice lies to careful diagnostic scrutiny.
4) Appeals:-
4.1 If you feel you have been unjustly censored, post a thread with the title "Appeal" in the censorship forum.
4.2 If you have been removed from the forum and wish to appeal, email jakesmith0000@gmx.com
4.1 Administrators are required to deal with appeals with maximum transparency. This means that the administrators will, without reference to another, maximally independent administrator who will be asked to determine the validity of the decision not to do so, publish the entire appeal, and the subjects responses to the reasoning and decision as a thread on the censorship forum.
5) All of these rules will be
5.1 implemented
5.2 and measured
as soon as possible and as far as is practicable.
6) Board administration and research and development is real work. Workers must be paid at least the minimum wage for the country in which they live.
6.1 At some point, board participants will be asked to contribute and
6.2 ultimately required to contribute to board administration and research and development costs. Membership fees will ultimately, therefore, be introduced, beginning at 1$ per person and rising.
Some active members will be invited to to be administrators and people who actively work on the administration of the forum for at least 8 hours per week will not be required to pay any membership until 2017.
7) strategically and philosophically incompatible people may still be tactically compatible. Where they are not, they must be seperated into seperate groups.
Fundamental , formal, philosophical, strategic and tactical disputes and discussions require a seperate board which will be generated by admins on request.
8) Thread problems will be designated by administrators before corrective actions are taken:-
Red- breaks site rules
Orange- tactically incompatible with forum
Yellow- suboptimal priority
Green- optimal priority (well done!)
9) Fora will be arranged by importance on the site. Tactically distinct fora will be arranged by importance relative to the administrator who has contributed most to the site.
10) Prioritisation
Threads in the board of each tactically distinct administrator will apply as soon as they are able, prioritisation level enumerations at the beginning of the thread title to posts made in their highest priority fora.
These enumerations will represent higher priorities with a higher number and lower priorities with a lower number. The number 0 will represent insignificance.
The highest number will be the only thread where green posts can be made.
Site participants can make new threads and suggest enumerations for them.
To find the current post in highest priority thread and subforum:-
10.1 go to the first forum at momentum.freeforums.net .
10.2 go to the first subforum within the forum. repeat until you find no subfora within the fora you are in.
10.3 check for open threads that are not announcements and have a non-zero priority value.
10.4 If you find none, go up a level, ignore the subforum you just checked, and repeat from step 2.
10.5 When you find a forum with nonzero, non-announced threads, pick the thread with the highest number at the beginning of its title.
10.6 Read the entire thread.
10.7 Goto the most recent post.
10.8 Provide your analysis of outstanding issues in the thread by adding a new post.
