History has shown that some of what you say is true in the short term due to the propaganda of tirants, but eventually with the truth exposed, the tirants loose out when they can no longer justify their existance.
Todate, few of the team can justify their exisitance especially when all they can say for their fupaw is that they are "volunteers". It's a shame they abuse a worthy term to explain screwing up on many levels.

For your consideration - forums are a means of communicating, like/dislike (thumbs up, thumbs down) communicate nothing and allow disagreements without explainations. I would prefer that if there is an agreement or disagreement the person would express that opinion rather than to annonomously like/dislike. Discussions are a 2 way street, why nub it into a oneway street?

It has never been about about me being a troll or being accused of same, it has always been about their conduct and abuse of power.
Let me try a parallel - you get caught whizzing on some missus flowers. You had a need and did what you had to. You are caught and confronted with your inappropriate behaviour. Rather than deal with you conduct, or apologize from perhaps embarrassment that you been caught you go into defence mode and call your accuser a pervert for watching you handle your man hood. You continue with your accusation of him being a pervert until the issue of your conduct is no longer relevant. Pretty soon others are no longer concerned with your conduct, they have a pervert to deal with. The power of a word.  :whistle:
Pervert like troll is nothing more than a strong reactionary word. By this I mean people react to the word and not the issue at hand. It is a manipulative tool to defer the issue from your inappropriate conduct to the accuser. A smoke screen if you like to cloud the issue and divert attention from oneself onto another.
Points I raised some 6 months ago and since, have been lost because the offenders and their support group have successfully diverted having to answer or explain the issue by using this manipulative tool.
I have learned a long time ago, sticks and stones may break my bones but name will never hurt me, a little ditty my grand dad taught me because in my day, (I'm not surprised either that after 80+ this still applies) bullies taunted others who had differences like they do today. So being called a troll doesn't bother me but the inappropriate conduct towards me and I dare say many others, some who are here, is what is somewhat of a bother. How does that manipulator deal with this? He puts the onus on me and diverts attention from his conduct of calling people names because he has no explanation for the original issue and it give him/them a license for further abuse like changing ones avatar and making it impossible for the person to change their profile (in my case).
I have PM's from several others who this has happened to but wish not to stand up to them. Other forum platforms are over flowing with interest from many past SMF users for the same reason.
As many here know, before my time on SMF and now, offering constructive feedback is not an option. It falls on deaf ears, rather than deal with this and fix it, they defer the issue by name calling and smoke and mirrors.

@Nao or Arantor - if you want to move this post to another area, it's perfectly understandable as it is off topic somewhat.

@Nao, you're right it would not nullify the document. But there are many other legal infraction of an NPO that will cost them dearly if challenged.

@Lex, it was more drawing attention to the syntax of the document, which I later discovered was written by Kindred. Yes there are many ways of entering the Articles and Sections, not all are the correct format however. I don't program but in legal circles, like a programmer correcting improper syntax, I am a stickler for format and dotting all i's and crossing all t's. 
 

@spoogs
Articles are declared with Roman Numerals ie: Article I, II, III etc.
Sections are declared by numeric value and sequence ie: Section 1, 2, 3, etc under the given Article.
Proper declaration
Article I
Section 1)
Section 2)
Article II
Section 1)
Section 2)
etc.
 

Just look at the bottom of the box, doesn't it say 'Made in China'? :thanks: :whistle:

I know Google Translator is not the best, I don't know of any automated one that doesn't give you the heebee jeebee's in the hands of one not interested in the context of the message, but is it posible to have that as an option for languages placed somewhere in the header?
