Barnes & Noble changed the program for their message boards, aka "bookclubs". Along with that, they instituted some new rules. If the old Two Peas had these rules, I think we all would have been banned. So, for your entertainment, I present: Offenses and Penalties |

A couple of the "Class A" offenses (ones that get you banned) cracked me up.
and
I don't think their moderators will have to worry to much about enforcing their rules. That new forum is just to difficult to use.

Rebellion? I think if you have to use that word you are holding the reins a bit too tightly.

I'm immediately picturing every single violation here at the pod, and you're right, we'd all be banned.  |

What's sad is that people's behavior led them to decide such a list and actions was needed. People are just stupid sometimes and can't behave liked civilized people. Especially on the 'net.

We have to start using Class A offense here as a term.

Exploiting loopholes in rules is a Class A Offense. I don't know why that tickles me so much.

Somebody must have been really bored. You are right I think we would all be banned. Heck it is an offense because I am basically saying what everyone else did lol.

We could implode that place and be home in time for dinner.
ETA - I wonder if there will be a message board collection for the institutionalization of the message board moderator. We could call it the Class A Gate

Rebellion - As with exploiting loopholes, this is a much worse offense as it involves other people violating our rules.
Rebellion - that's my favorite one!

The Quitting Thread one, Class A - permanent suspension..ummm...isn't that kind of the point?
ETA - It makes me want to go over there, and with my first thread, announce I'm quitting.

Good to know I can make a hate post as long as I have an "acceptable basis"...

You read my mind! I want to do that, all in caps with excessive exclamation points, too. But only after I say something totally random and off-topic. Lisa |

That made me laugh! Bless Alex Garcia's little heart. He's the soup nazi of message board moderators. I bet in real life, he's the kind of man who purposely seeks out the most restrictive HOA community to live in, is the president of the board and files a complaint when someone's potted flower on their porch has a single dead leaf. |

Oh my gosh! Who the heck will be able to actually chat over there? I'd have to check every post against the rule page before hitting "reply". And who are they going to get to moderate that mess?? That rule list truly does deserves the "wow. just wow."  |

I like it, wish I'd written them  Just kidding!  I do love that this rule as written doesn't make grammatical sense: Deliberately posting of inappropriate or incomprehensible content (They could do with giving the whole thing a good proof-read to be honest) |

We need to invite those people to come over here. B&N people, we're here for you. You can quit any time you want but you won't want to!
No class A offense for us!
