Hello, Playmofriends ...  :wave:

However, I think if you own a site not endorsed by Playmobil, there should be no problem in uploading nazis, KKK, etc.

Probably everyone knows that this forum has some guidelines! (There's a "guide" button next to the "help" button in the "button bar" toward the top of this page!)



Perhaps all of us should review our guidelines and rules every so often.

If anyone is having trouble finding the guidelines, click HERE!

Or, if it's easier ... just read Rule 6 below:

6. Posts that contain racial, ethnic, religious, sexist, sexual or sexual innuendo, or any other discriminatory or inflammatory content will be deleted without exception. Such posts do not show respect (see Item #1), and those who post them risk suspension from PlaymoFriends.

All the best, my friends,
Richard

I did not know that playmobil was endorsing forums . I guess if the forum is relying on contributions to the site they can ask for certain material to reflect their view points ( as narrow as they may be ) . For some reason i thought playmobil never endorsed free lance sites .

@ richard that is a pretty broad statement that could encompass just about anything . What picture does not include race ? there are plenty of religious material from playmobil . I think it should read that " if it does not reflect the administrators own belief than you risk punishment "

When a person begins to censor they put themselves at risk of being censored .

Perhaps the word "rules" is a bit too strong, as the creators of Playmofriends only refer to them as "Member Guidelines!" They do not appear to have ever called them "rules!"

And, "Guideline 1." may be the most important "Guideline" of all,
"1. Treat all members of this community with the respect, tolerance, politeness and the decency with which you would wish to be treated."

All right, sorry, didn't wanted to make any racist statement, just to say where one would put whatever one wants, without being supervised.
I will not cite nazis or KKK anymore if considered offensive (I though only endorsing such ideas would be considered offensive).
I am not sympathetic with nazi/racist viewpoints, though I think if one owns a site, one may post there whatever one wants.

Most of our guidelines are based on good old common sense, but as Richard said, number 1 is the most important. :)

If anyone thinks the guidelines are too vague, I'd be happy to hear suggestions on how to improve the wording. It has been edited in the past and can easily be added to or altered again.

Any decisions as to whether a member of PlaymoFriends requires a warning for their behaviour are not made by one solitary person. The forum is run by a team consisting of one administrator and (presently) 3 moderators.

I would  agree that ones right to opinion needs to be treated with respect . i just wish the rest of the world would openly adopt these ideals .

One thing though is in the guideline it states ( treat others how  how you wish to be treated ) . Would playmobil like to have its logo censored if say the Muslims ( or whomever )  decided so ? , or if this was applied to your nations flag ? In this day and age i feel one must be very careful of the precedent you set .

I never for a minute thought you were, Pyrrhus.

@ Rasputin: I think you're very much overreacting now and are polarising and aggrevating the whole thing. Please stop.

I think there may have been a slight misunderstanding. PlaymoFriends' guidelines were created by this website's founders and only relate to users of this forum.  ;)

Thank you for noticing my passion for freedom of expression and beliefs. i will always challenge the oppressor no matter how insignificant it may seem.
