The Rules

Different55 · 2011-11-18 20:01:24

You might have already read the rules when you signed up. If you did, great! You're better than the average newbie. If you didn't read the rules, or you weren't sure about any part, you can read this slightly expanded/revised version and ask any questions you might have.

Forum Rules
1. Do not double post.
○Double posting is when you post twice in a row. If you have something additional you want to say, use the edit button in the lower right corner of the previous post.
○Sometimes, double posting is allowed. Some of these cases include:
Adding completely new content.
As an extension of the first post.
Bumping, if more than 2 days have passed since the last post.
Examples:
Report this:
Example1 wrote:
Please add my idea
Example1 wrote:
Are you adding my idea?
Not this:
Example2 wrote:
I made this game and I'm always improving it so keep watching.
Example2 wrote:
This post reserved for changelog and news.
2. Do not spam
○You will be warned for spamming if your post:
Is highly off-topic
In no way contributes to the thread.
Is ridiculously stupid.
Examples:
Report this:
Example1a wrote:
I'll make sigs for anyone who wants them.
Example1b wrote:

Not this:
Example2a wrote:

Example2b wrote:
Guess this means I can't go stalk her anymore?
3. Do not gravedig (Also known as necromancy or necroing.)
○Gravedigging is when you post in a thread that has not been replied to in a long time.
○"A long time" is defined as 1 month.
○You may be excused from this rule if your post contributes to the topic.
Examples:
Report this:
Example1a wrote:
That's a pretty cool game you got there.
2 months later...
Example1b wrote:
THIS GAME SUX
Not this:
Example2a wrote:
Pretty cool for a beginner
2 months later...
Example2 wrote:
Not bad. What else have you made?
4. Do not flame
○Flaming is classified as swearing, cursing, or putting down another member.
○This does not include telling someone they're an idiot. If they are being stupid you are allowed to tell them constructively.
Examples:
Report this:
Example1 wrote:
I HATE YOU FAGGOT I HOPE YOU BURN I WILL KILL YOUR MOTHER AND FORSE YOU TWO WATCH
Not this:
Example2 wrote:
Perhaps if you took your hands off the caps lock and looked around for a few second's you'd figure it out, retard.
5. Do not mini-mod
○Mini-modding is when you tell someone they broke a rule.
○If someone breaks one of these rules, report their post by clicking the Report button in the bottom right corner of their post.
○Mini-modding is not allowed because it does absolutely no good and interferes with the mods' ability to do their job.
○We already have minimods, so being a minimod is just a slap in the face to them.
Examples:
Report this:
[double post]
Example1 wrote:
Don't double post. You get a warning.
Not this:
[double post]
Example2 wrote:
You might not have noticed, but you broke the rules with that post. You can read them again so you don't get banned. *reports post*
6. DO NOT abuse the report system.
○Only report a post if it breaks one of these rules.
○Do not spam the report system with nonsense reports because it wastes the time of the mods and admins.
○Don't come whining about someone else.
○If you want to report a Private Message that was sent to you, contact Different55.
Examples:
Bad reports:
Example1 wrote:
He said my art was bad!
Example2 wrote:
They were being rude!!1
Good reports:
Example3 wrote:
I'm done with this topic. Could you lock it for me?
Example4 wrote:
Flaming and spamming a topic.
7. No inappropriate pictures/language
○Keep everything on this forum at a PG level please.
○If you happen to post any inappropriate pictures, you will be perma-banned immediately.
○We have a zero-tolerance for sexuality here.
Examples:
No examples.
8. Do not have more than one account on these forums.
○You don't need more than one account.
○It wastes space and we don't have unlimited space here.
○If a sibling or someone who might share the same IP as you wants to join, contact the admins first so they can mark you as safe.
Examples:
No examples.

NOTE: The mods can do whatever they want and you can't stop them. If you have a problem with something that they said or a problem with a warning they gave you, contact an admin so they can deal with it. If you have a problem with something an admin has done, man up.

To be completed.

SilverHeart · 2011-11-19 10:44:41

I think you forgot the two person account rule.

Coolio · 2011-11-19 14:34:21

Allow us mods (ahem me mod) to make decisions on things, because some technicalities don't go against the rules, but it should be counted as a warning. Like that EE rules clause:
Our staff/whatever has the right to warn or ban someone at their discretion for whatever reason.

Different55 · 2011-11-19 17:10:11

Like I said, to be completed.

Different55 · 2011-11-19 17:30:13

It is completed.

[THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF LEGAL DOUBLE POSTING]

Coolio · 2011-11-19 17:34:10

The note seems a little forceful, don't ya think?

Different55 · 2011-11-19 17:35:18

It's not forceful... it's... preparing children for the real world. If you have a problem with an employer, take it the the next highest authority unless you've already reached them. Then man up.

Coolio · 2011-11-19 17:40:01

how bout this?
Note: Mods are trustworthy and can do anything within reason. If you would like to settle an issue with a mod, please contact the admins. There is NO arguing with an admin no matter what, unless it is completely unreasonable.
Seriously. Mods aren't bullies. They're people.

Different55 · 2011-11-19 17:41:07

Great, we just moved and now I gotta find myself a new mod. One that doesn't think all weird like you. ;P

Coolio · 2011-11-19 17:45:46

Aw. That makes me sad.

*runs away crying*

Different55 · 2011-11-20 18:28:25

Now, where can I find another mod...

Coolio · 2011-11-21 16:20:56

Well I dunno. since you de-modified me

Slawthe · 2011-11-29 15:04:42

I was told I couldn't enjoy these forums until I looked over here, so here I look. May I enjoy these forums now?

Different55 · 2011-11-29 15:48:32

hmmmm... i suppose we cant stop you, so yes.

Different55 · 2011-11-29 15:48:33
