Oooooooouuuuuuuuuu then you better quit posting those cartoons. I'll miss them

I agree with about 95% of these. A lot of it is just common sense and common curtosity.
However, #9, although i do agree that one shouldn't post negative things directly at someone, if someone has an issue with something i think they have the right to post it on a thread somewhere. Things like this need to be in the open so that everyone knows what the issues are, even if they are with mods. It just seems pointless to post to the mods if the problem is WITH a mod. I personally would feel more comfortable having a thread that is always up (lieka sticky one?) that we can post concerns or comments.

Other then that, and the rep one...i'm not sure how you can abuse the rep system,
but other than that, i think the rules are straight forward

Sometimes I give people good rep just because. Is that okay?

Another question, do the same rules apply to moderators?

yes and yes

you can give good rep just to give it if you would like.

The posting rules apply to anyone posting in open threads, Mods are included in this when they are posting in threads

Thanks Fallon. <3

I think the rep system should be used the way we feel. If we disagree with a moderator or another poster we should be allowed to hand out bad rep. It is not a serious thing and doesn't hold any true value. If we disagree with a moderator and hand out bad rep, we get banned. If we give bad rep to a poster because we disagree we get a warning. So in other words you are saying ONLY hand out good rep?

#9 is strange and sounds personal. I've never seen anyone "attack" a moderator. Again, we are not allowed to talk about or joke (even friendly) about jtee right? Because Kaytee seems sweet and is a good moderator and Fallon is friendly and stern. They do not take things personally. If we ask a question about a mod, we are told that we might need to leave the forum. I just don't get it.
I agree we should be able to publicly voice our concerns (if we have any)
I don't have a problem with any of the mods. I just let it roll off like rain ex.

I think when we disagree or voice our opinions the moderators should respect that we sometimes think differently. As long as we are not swearing and being respectful we should be able to disagree.

I think something like a mediation forum would be a great idea for this. I will see what I can come up with when I get back and maybe we could put something like that into the works

That would be cool with the stipulation that we do not get banned because we disagree!

Nope... we're saying before you hand out rep make sure it's truly what you feel you should do. Don't bad rep new members just to be able to good rep someone you like (not saying you do this but it's very clear that some do)

you can...as long as it's respectful and done in an adult manner. I welcome any concerns or question and if you feel you want to voice something publicly do it in the forum stuff section...even if you have to pull a quote from another thread, just open a new one here with your concerns and someone will answer you
