I've set forth some of the guidelines that have been informally used on the CardBoard and placed them here: http://thecardboard.org/board/index.php/...890.0.html.

Why do these Administrator notices always give me the feeling that I've crossed some kind of line and am being anonymously chided? I think I have a problem with paranoia. Or maybe not . . .

That's one seriously reasonable list of guidelines everyone can violently agree on, and if not, can righteously experience the smite of the ban hammer.

Do the portrait's eyes follow you when you walk around the room as well? Remember just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean they aren't .... Ah, heck. You know the rest.
In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.

To demonstrate my agreement with the guidelines, I just fist-pumped so hard that I broke a couple of ribs.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)

OK, garvin, I gave you a +1 to appease the software. Or does it not work that way?

I'm not schizophrenic (and neither am I) but we are both tired of you paranoids following us and reading our mail. If this keeps up Seth may show up, and neither of us wants Seth back ever again.

Hee hee. "Violent agreement" was a stock phrase at Xerox PARC and later DEC SRC (and probably other places). It refers to the phenomenon where two people argue loud and long only to eventually realize, once each one really understands what the other is saying, that they actually were in agreement all along.

Some sites (think ESPN) have free content available to all and premium content only available to paid subscribers.  The figurative wall between the sections of a site that are free and the sections that contain paid content is the "paywall".
Basically the Cardboard is asking that we respect content providers and journalists who get paid for their writing by not copying paid content and distributing it freely on the Cardboard.
There are "fair use" rules that apply but if you have questions it's better not to go there.

It's something I'd been thinking about coming up with for a while. These are guidelines I'd been using for years to moderate the board, but I never published them anywhere. There are a lot of new people, and I thought it would be a good idea to make things a little more transparent.
I'm also planning to post another post about tips and tricks to navigating the site.

Ooooohhhh. That is one I would be happy to see.
I seem to have set my account preferences differently on the two computers I use. The current one makes me re-log in quite frequently, almost inevitably timing out while I am writing my carefully crafted, tome-length posts thus destroying them. [Perhaps to the relief of many.]
Somehow I cannot see how to change that.

Next time you log in, click the box that says "keep me logged in".

Also: don't log in using the little boxes at the top of a page. Instead click the "login" link near them. That takes you to a dedicated login page with more options.

On the other hand, if you were saying, "Don't be a duck", I take it all back.

I agree that it seemed odd that your post was removed. I draw a distinction between content that is user-generated and content that is generated by the site in question. Yeah, there is some stuff that gets posted in the premium discussion boards by insiders that is not meant to be widely disseminated. But most of it is just personal commentary and opinion, and even when it has the advantage of being posted by insiders in the know, it isn't necessarily meant to be private. I assume your contact had given at least tacit approval that the information be shared more broadly.

No need to piss off a Cardinal fellow traveler and this is the sort of thing that bothered them in the past. Plus the admin didn't know CI's backstory.
No harm, no foul. Just keep swimming. (Sorry, too much Pixar in my recent past.)
