A recent post asking about how one obtains rank got me to thinking about a topic. Seems like we should have a system of demotion as well as promotion. A old fashioned "Captain's Mass" if you will. :rolleyes: <br /><br />When one gets out of line one is punished for the sake of behavorial modification. We could consider demotion, restriction from the keyboard for 30 days, a fine, or even public flogging(perhaps at the Hideout or the I-Boats showroom), etc :eek: <br /><br />So all we need is a set of rules (to be thought up and approved by the membership), someone to administer the rules (Judge and jury to be recommended by the membership), and a list of behaviorlly modifying punishments ;) <br /><br />Intent is not to punish the obnoxious but to set a standard that improves the quality of life for all the membership :D <br /><br />Thoughts?

Re: Captain's Mass

Moahh...will get us a lot of keelhauled members I think, or are they just thrown out? But seriously...it's a fun and learn site, so why the hassle? It's well moderated and " out of line" is sometimes a matter of perspective. Example: in Holland nobody makes a point about abortion. If I would make the observation " what is all that hassle about in the US" I might get busted. So who's to judge? (tricky example, I guess)<br />Frank

I had hoped that someone would start listing the rules. Things that we would like NOT to see from people posting.<br /><br />Like: name calling; punishment - 15 day suspention from posting. ;)

I've been here on the board for awhile now. Haven't ever heard of having a captains mast, but have had quiet a few members that walked the plank to never return. Too many poofs and your walking the plank.

azfyrfyter63,<br /><br />You're right. It's Mast not Mass, but that was intended to be part of the irony. The post was all toungue-in-cheek. A joke if you will.
