Code of conduct must remain in place. No 1 important document

Re: Feathercoin Forum : Code of Conduct
This FTC forum code page is the farthest from boring on the FTC site, masterful and took literally hours / days of work and discussion…
It is necessary to prevents the volunteer moderators from being responsible for members actions on the forum and goes out of the way to allow some reference by members to harder topics or advertising.
That is why we (FTC moderators) have took so much trouble with the new forum to reduce spam, which contained offensive and illegal material, as it was then the responsibility of volunteer moderators to clean that up. The policy let’s them do that, in a very fair way to the “forum abuser.”
A Currency needs to be available to everyone, even if members don’t contribute, but view (10 times contributors) they can see what’s going on. Even all the people who just download the wallet and don’t contribute or join the forum (10 times forum members), still view the forum and may need to come for support one day and need to know the forum is safe to visit.

@wrapper Therefore I moved it to the newbies area and pinned it, so that every new user can see the Code of conduct as first document.
It is also referred to in the registration process, even if it doesn’t to be acknowledged to be able to register.
Do you think there is better place to put it?

@Wellenreiter You did great move Wellen, it is for newbies. I see no reason why all members should stare at it every day. Can you imagine any company putting their best banner for safety instructions of their products? I guess no.

I can imagine a company would advertise safety if it was a safety product. The new users section itself was created to make sure the forum was not abused, that is why a statement of what is “conduct on the forum” is visibly there to all new users.

Sure, but they would use emotions, not detailed information. That’s how advertising works, 95% emotions 5% information. Humans are so lousy organisms that in fact it works.

This is not an advert, it is a code of conduct for the forum to prevent moderators from being legally liable for scammers, spam advertisements and such which are constantly trying to abuse the FTC forum …
Please feel free to compose a better version if you want, as long as it covers the relevant points and is clearly positioned where New Members can see it exists … I’d read and comment on it…

I don’t care about the text itself. There is big chance it is well written.
You are right, it is not an advert and that’s why there is no reason for it to be pinned nonstop in our most watched area.Edit: I am pretty happy with where it is now…
