I read a couple of the posts but I'll go back in a few and read the rest. Most of the amendments are fine but I disagree with 2.

Hostile content directed at children of other forum members: At no point, in any forum is it allowable to target children of a forum member with harsh insults, harassment, or other deliberate provocations aimed at causing strife with another forum member. The definition of harsh insults, harassment, or other deliberate provocations is to be determined by the Administrator after recieving a complaint from an injured party, and would be considered to be significantly above and beyond the level of content we would normally encounter in these forums. Such actions will be automatically considered excessive and persistent, and will be dealt with accordingly. There is a general exception allowed for good natured statements made in jest, that are recognized to be in jest by both parties, however in a dispute we will rule against the party who originates the statement.
Sorry, lame. Even as a mom myself I believe that if you're willing to post about your kids you have to be willing to take **** from others. And if you cant handle it and realize half the time it's done in jest, then dont post about your kids here. Easy as that. Especially in forum=4. This place is no holds barred and if people want to post about their kids than it needs to be clear what they post is open to any type of posting style.

Amendment 5: Discussion of administrative decisions on the forums
No discussion of administrative action, policies or status is allowed on the forums. All such discussions will be removed. Discussions regarding administrator action must be conducted via PM or E-mail
No way in hell. You guys might be admins and we respect you for the hard work you do, but you're not exempt from ridicule when needed or in fun. Kao, DF, and all the other former admins here on the Asylum are usually cool and understanding about it. And if we can not open up a discussion when things dont look good from our POV how the hell can we get things potentially fixed or a discussion/compromise going? There are some admins here who havent figured out how to grow a pair of balls and realize that disagreements on the board are part of the job they signed up for. If they can not defend themselves and feel the need to remove any type of criticism, then that's a clear sign that either they can not handle their job, or something smells fishy.
