Suggest Forum Rules Mods

[jimmalenko]

Is there anything happening in the forums that you think should be added to the Forum Rules ?
What are your pet hates ?

I think there should be a disclaimer added to the Forum Rules that prohibit questions which require a legal decision. ie. "Is it legal to backup a dvd ?". No-one here is a qualified legal expert and too often "legal" and "moral" get confused and different laws in different states or countries prohibit an accurate response. There are a number of threads that have developed into slanging matches because of this.

Post your suggestions and maybe the mods can take some under advisement.

Hey, I'm a legal expert, I've watched every episode of Perry Mason, Judge Judy and Law and Order. :P

Lets see... pet hates, probably people who post a question "Where can I find DVD covers" when their is the exact same question about 4 posts down.

......"Where can I find DVD covers"

Did you consider scanning your own cover. O ! thats right you didn't get one with the download.

Ya think Come on now . Really. How many commercial movies you seen released in obscure forms of mpeg4.

A sticky to the following should suffice.

If you insist on obtaining you movies in obscure forms of CODEC's rather that the original distributed format then read the guides. The information is there READ.

That should free up 1/2 the idiotic questions.
...mumble ...grumble....

If they can't find the guides they are obviously too idiotic to check what the sticky messages say.

A bit of balance please.
Being from the UK I don't give two monkeys nuts for the 5th amendment, but doesn't it say something about innocent until proven guilty?
You know, it might just be that this guy doesn't have a scanner.
Remote I know, but like I say, inncocent until proven guilty :P

I happen to think this is an excellent point (if impossible to implement), and a problem which is repeated time after time after time after time....
