New page

== Change to Policy ==
How can you add that statement in? This site should not be communistic! You just changed the policy to suit your rights by taking away the right for general users to have a difference of opinion with a Sysop! Even Sysops should be accountable for there actions ... not just the general Users! That is the beauty of democracy!

If a Policy is a "Work In Progress" document then this site is a waste of peoples time. In real life, policies are never 'just changed' to suit a circumstance, there is a process in place that instigates a review and approve process where 'everyone' has the right to contribute to the change!

Food for thought before this site becomes to much of a "you do what we tell u or else" type of site.

+If a Policy is a "Work In Progress" document then this site is a waste of peoples time. In real life, policies are never 'just changed' to suit a circumstance, there is a process in place that instigates a review and approve process where 'everyone' has the right to contribute/disagree to a change! Usually these review points have a set frequency like annually or quarterly and everyone is aware of that time and has an opportunity to put forward what they feel should be altered, or added.
