Thinking its time we look to revise the rules and involve the OSR community in this.
A few new changes spring to mind.
BUMPING - Sure, its annoying when you see someone bump a 1-2 year old topic, but is it a relevant post? Well, if it is relating to the topic and there is no where else to ask, why not? I think sometimes new members feel safer to post in the specific topic, rather than the help section or some random place, so why dont we be a bit more open minded about that.
FREE TO USE, BUT WITH PERMISSION - I myself have no problem with someone using my textures hacks as long as it helps them improve and not just used to make a half assed mod. I understand however that some editors simply do not want there work to be edited, and that should be respected. I think a more clearer rule on this needs to be added, so no one makes a error and gets punishment for it.
LESS HATE ON NEWBIES - Yes, sometimes we get newbies asking the most stupidiest questions, but where we all there before and sure, some of us pick up thing quicker than others, but it seems members like to take the "Admin" role and flame a new member and make them look stupid. I think a rule where if a new topic/post has been made by a new joiner and its seriously retarded, then leave the admins to give the 3rd degree and not the member. If its something that seems dodgy IE stolen texture, joke account, then "REPORT" the member to the OSR staff and we can deal with it.
Just a few that string to mind and am looking for more ideas from you guys.
Seriously want to make things more friendly/fair at OSR.
