Who is "we"? And how are "we" going to enforce the rules? Is this something the staff is going to help enforce, or is it like the numerous "Anti Troll" clubs? I'd be for it if the staff would help enforce the rules and standards.
-
Who is we exactly? Okay, what the hell. Better spelling and grammar and a ban on stuff sounds better as a text message.
-
I would add that If you are going to down rate, make a comment as to why, unless of course you're a troll. and No religion bashing, regardless of faith or lack thereof.
-
But then you might take the fun out of answerbag, and how can you govern it. what makes you think you can choose between right and wrong. I have a dream that one day these nations that make our beautifull world will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed:"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (sorry ladies) are created equall."
-
NO trolls if you want to give something a negative rating you MUST give a reason.
-
your internet ego is astounding. "men must be governed" get out, please.

Having had a look at your amendments, I would suggest that as much as I think you are a great contributor BAM, this is going a bit far. It is nice that you want to make AB a better place, and I am all for good spelling and grammar, no text style questions, no capitals etc, but there is a much friendlier and more inclusive way to achieve this. We can direct new users with polite comments toward better online behaviour. Also do not forget that English is not everyone's first language on AB, and by cutting out people who are having trouble with English may mean that we lose out on valuable differing opinions. I like the idea of what you are trying to do but I think you are going about it in the wrong way.

i want a too many words does not make a better answer ammendment. Brevity people. Be succinct.

No more fighting. Any conflicts of opionion may not denagrate into full out name calling and bashing for any reason. Which means no more calling people gay or telling them they're crazy because you don't agree with them. And when someone tells you enough it means enough. Especailly if your posting on their answer.
-
Quite frankly, I can only add that there is already an answerbag constitution. It is called the "terms of use" and has been clearly defined by AB admin.
-
"AMENDMENT 4 (The Anderson construct) All users will use spelling and grammar to the best of their ability in place of any "sub-par language"." lol... you're banned, Bam.
-
There is a new category to flag questions: Unoriginal or Similar This will help to weed out questions that would have slipped through the cracks before because they were not duplicates or nonsense. Stupid questions do not belong. A good crazy thought type question belongs if it is original and well thought out.
-
In my opinion this is idiocy, this is a joke right? This site is what it is because of all users, a few people with way too much time on their hands and who take this site way too seriously wish to form AB constitution. Just get on and go for the ride, quit whining, get out more!
-
it sounds like a great idea,why not have a panel of twelve answerbaggers,picked by election,to sit as a kind of jury.if the majority of this jury decides that certain questions are unworthy of answerbag,then they go to that great cybershredder in the sky.
-
You want to form this constitution because this is a wonderful, insightful site but you go by cyberscrewed.tk and have a link to suddendeath.tk which claims to be the place where the most pointless things are discussed, where fu*k is every second word and everyone hates America, ah kinda contradicting is it not?
-
Minimalization of idiocy is a task yet to be perfected. Please don't try this at home.
-
You forgot to shut down the link in your About me
-
well i am an idiot dont do it

Got another one. Anyone caught harrassing another member is to be immediatly placed in the penalty box.Oh, and as your rating goes up your ability to point goes up by five points.
-
all negative ratings should be backed up with a comment !!!!!
-
"Eve ry lack of question mark in a question is an immediate downrate, no leniancy." . . Straight from the profile of His Majesty, BAM@Cyberscrewed.tk. . Eve ry --> Every . LENIANCY --> LENIENCY . He seems to be demanding so much from others while making two errors in that same sentence... . It only means one thing to me...
-
This is an idea, not for the constitution, but it would make AB more popular. I have nothing to add in categories like computers, electronics, sports & recreation and a few others, and am not interested in seeing questions. Could AB be programmed so you could reject entire categories of questions? Almost everyone would be able to read questions that interest them at least 25% faster.

One cannot givern the ungovernable or minimize idiocy. It is a fact of life. Murphy's Law # something or another: Nothing is fool-proof because fools are such geniuses. Thomas Jefferson - That government governs best that governs least.

I'm no hatemonger. I was recently on a forum that had such nazi-like policies. A moderator goaded me into an argument by saying rude, presumptuous things about me (I was just asking a question about a city) and when I responded saying his behavior was unappreciated (no use of swear words) he (because he had the authority of moderator) deleted my post and claimed that I had made a 'personal attack' against him. After reading the TOS, I came up with quite a few violations that he had made as well, but I had no authority. That site was whack, policing every statement that was made on there and sole discretion was given to moderators who apparently had only been on there a few months themselves. I don't think we want AB to turn out like that.
-
I think it is a stupid idea. There are already rules and some forms of enforcement. I don't agree with vigilanties. Especially on an internet site.
-
NOOOO! Were told what to do all day at school and work, then when we get home, told what to do by parents and wives, AnswerBag is the one place we can escape! Dont do it!
-
Idiots (foolish and stupid) have rights too.
-
How is stupidity so far from retardation? Just a simple question? It's still degrading and hurtful to whoever is on the receiving end of it.
-
I, personally, think this is a bad idea. Who are we to say what others can and cannot do? I don't think that one group of people should lay down guidelines for a whole community, especially in a condescending way. Secondly, what defines idiocy? Lack of question marks? Bad grammar? What if someone doesn't speak English as their first language? Who's to say that lack of compassion and understanding isn't idiocy, or lack of a desire for peaceful and civil resolutions? We can't run around labeling everyone an idiot just because they make spelling mistakes. I think that we should just continue along as we have, and continue to be helpful and understanding, not elitist and fascist.

Sorry if I intruded on anyone by asking this, but what exactly is a "troll?" It was used servel times here, and I'm a "newbie" and have absolutely no idea what the term means.
