We've been very, very hands off on the Soapbox but frankly this forum has lost its meaning for us. The goal was to provide a place where members could have a good old rant about stuff that affects their daily programming lives. It's become a place to bait and troll.
The anger, the pointless ribbing of other members, the general darkness here is not making me proud of what we've built. There needs to be a change or we will just walk away and close the doors on this forum.
So:
1. No personal attacks. I can't even believe I need to write that one out on CodeProject.
2. No trolling. No deliberating picking something you know will upset others just for entertainment.
3. No hate talk, racism, sexism, anything that's just outright unpleasant. We're not asking you to be angels, but we are saying you need to apply basic decency to your discussions.
4. Threads that seem designed to inflame pointlessly will get locked.
5. We're the final judge. There's no debating if we kick you off the forum or off the site. We are very lenient so you know we don't do that on a whim, so if you're off you're off. We won't be giving you the pleasure of a public fight about it.
cheers

To the best of my knowledge, membership in this site is not even restricted to humans, let alone human males. Why do you think it's relevant?

I suppose that is how the term "selfish" originally came about.

I'll brush that comment off as a bit short-sighted, and thus dwarfed by many others.

They are very self conscious and tend to hide in the bushes.
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.
I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended.
Freedom doesn't mean the absence of things you don't like.
