A Forum Rule Change
posted by Shayne
Very soon there will be a change to the Messenger Discovery Forum rules.
In the past the Messenger Discovery Forums allowed swearing on a minor level ( as long as it wasn't insulting, racial abuse, Flaming etc ). In a few days this rule will be changed and swearing will no longer be tolerated on the Messenger Discovery Forums.
Behind the scenes we believed it was time we enforced this new change now while we have a younger audience within the Messenger Discovery community. These changes will be enforced in a week’s time and the bad word filter will be active and tested out while we speak.
For people with Bad English the term Swearing is another meaning for Profanity:
QUOTE
Profanity can be a word, expression, gesture, or other social behavior which is socially constructed or interpreted as insulting, rude or vulgar, or desecrating or showing disrespect toward an object of religious veneration.
Other words commonly used to describe profane language or its use include: cuss, curse, derogatory language, swearing, expletive, oath, bad word, dirty word, strong language, irreverent language, obscene language, and blasphemous language. In many cultures it is less profane for an adult to curse than it is for a child, who may be reprimanded for cursing.

A new thread will be made when these changes are enforced.

Forums Moved & Website Update
posted by Matt
Hi everyone,
Just a small note, please update your bookmarks/links to http://forums.msgdiscovery.com/ as the forums are no longer at http://forums.msgd2.com/.
I have changed the location of the forums because the msgd2.com domain name is reserved for MessengerDiscovery 2.
Also, the website has been updated a little bit with a cleaner, better home page. Also the navigation has been updated with a 'Help' page which will steer people in the right direction when requesting help. All these pages will be available in your language once translators have updated their language file.
Thanks.
Matt Holwood.

New Forum Layout
posted by Matt
The MessengerDiscovery forums are becomming very popular, with more and more users joining each day we needed to have a forum that was clean and easy to navigate. So, I've re-organised the entire MessengerDiscovery forums.
The layout is a lot cleaner and much more simple now. It takes less space and forums are categorised correctly.
I hope everyone likes the new layout a lot more. If there is something you don't like please feel free to comment
