• Allow the discussion of illegal activies, while deleting posts that appear to promote illegal activities. For example, allow one to argue for or against the legalization of marijuana, but not encourage using it as long as it is illegal.
• Allow discussion of topics such as homosexuality, abortion, and so on. These are real issues and the majority, if not the entirety, of the GraalOnline population is already graphically aware of them, Do not use the forums as a shelter from the real world, particularly the NGRF.
• Cease the closing of threads due to a post or number of posts. If a user is repeatedly breaking rules, ban that user for a day. Do not close the thread because someone inside it is misbehaving.
• Allow the discussion of the rules and discussion of bans. Make a public ban list available, along with reasons behind the bans. This is just a good way of keeping the community aware of the moderators' actions, which is a good thing as it establishes more transparency and more trust between community and moderators.
• Do not close a topic just because it offends someone. Forum users are well capable of choosing what they wish to view, and they may only say they are "offended" because they wish to close the thread due to personal interests.
• Punish moderators who make bad calls or who make decisions based outside of the rules (this would be decided collectively by at least two supermoderators). These punishments could include temporarily revoking their special powers. This system applies to supermoderators as well as local moderators.
• Allow posting of personal histories, with the clause that no personal history is guaranteed to be accurate. I remember being pissed on because I posted a personal history in the private PWA forums by a certain supermod we are all familiar with. This rule is idiotic, especially considering much of the private forums use personal history as evidence for playerworld investigations, ec cetera.
• Allow fights between users. Fights are fun, relieve stress, and as long as they don't get too verbally vulgar, do not hurt anyone other than the users or the image of the forum.
• Allow the criticism of playerworlds, out of courtesy for the players. Do not just allow the promotion of playerworlds.
• Disallow moderators from citing Unixmad as a reason for a decision. Make unixmad enforce rules that are not in the rule list, and make the moderators only consider those posts which actually violate a rule.
