Ok well the votes came in 32 - 21 or something like that.
To appease the senior members of SAU I propose to setup each of the threads in the new subsection, set the rules for it and moderate it viciously.
I propose the following sections:
Newcastle
Central Coast
Hills Area
North inc Northern beaches, Hornsby etc.
West and Mountains, inc Penrith, Blacktown etc
Campbelltown
South inc Bankstown, Sutherland etc.
East
South coast
Draft rules:
1. All whoring, chatting, arranging of meet ups/cruises etc to be done in the above sticky threads.
2. Other area specific things can have their own threads unless it is deemed that it would more appropriately be placed in the NSW section.
3. Any exclusionist behavior will result in immediate warnings and/or bannings. Ie; if you post anything that is designed to make people leave the thread because they live elsewhere or for any other reason.
4. Try to think of your fellow SAUers. If a cruise looks like being a decent size a week or more before the event, post it in the NSW events section or ask a mod to move it there so that everyone can attend if they wish.
5. This section exists as entrance to the wider SAU community and to keep arrangements for small meet ups and cruises in one neat area. Everything else belongs in the main sections of SAU. Someone who has 80% of their posts in this section after 2-3 months is fine but someone who has 80% of their posts in this section after 4-6 months is not participating in the forum community and is going against the spirit of the forum.
6. This section is on trial only at this stage.
What do you all think - apart from being against me entirely - about the above?
