no no no, you are globally applying this rule.
Example:
this is something that needs to be addressed
http://www.rotarycarclub.com/rotary_...ead.php?t=5531
but complaints about how you don't like how I talk about the evil forum isn't something others want to/should see. In instances such as those, you should PM the person you have issues with. If you feel it was inappropriately handled by me or another mod then DO bring it up publicly.
Does that make sense? If you want to have an open discussion about how you don't like the new vendor section or the for sale section then post it up and let's discuss it and try to find a comproomise where everyone will be satisfied.
You have to figure out if the issue you have is something that should be handled privately or publicly. The issues you brought up SHOULD be discussed publicly.
It's just like Kane says...except that the wording seems appropriate to me. If we make the rules too vague then the room for interpretation is too large.....If it's too detailed then it seems totalitarian. If you're not sure, then all you have to do is ask. Just like you're doing here....
