Not that it matters, but over at WikiVoices we have only three rules. They've served us well without modification for over a year.
1. Cluefulness is mandatory. If someone lacks clue, offer them one of your spare clues. If clueless person refuses multiple offers of clue, clueless person gets booted. 2. In voice chat, belching is permissible only if it includes a three second duration and a good chest tone. 3. In voice chat, heavy breathing is allowable only if accompanied by video. Otherwise mute the mike. -Durova On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 5:18 PM, George Herbert <george.herb...@gmail.com>wrote: > On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 2:08 PM, Ken Arromdee<arrom...@rahul.net> wrote: > > On Wed, 1 Jul 2009 wjhon...@aol.com wrote: > >> "Protecting people" is really very broad isn't it? > >> > >> How about "If the publication of certain information on a subject would > >> lead a reasonable person to believe that it poses a credible threat to > the > >> subject's life." > >> Much narrower. > > > > For IAR, it's also much too long.
