As you all know, the rule is that if you wouldn't say it in front of your grandmother, don't say it here.
That required the following clarification:
Don't swear excessively.
Don't spam excessively, unless you're in the spam forum. Then you can go nuts.
Don't win.
Always fail.
Keep conversations PG-12. It's like PG-13 but with less 13.
Don't 13. This is especially important for those of you who are 13. People who 13 are scientifically proven to be more 13-y than any other age.
Apparently even our clarifications need clarifications, which is a pretty nice fail as far as forumfails go.
EDIT: and now our clarifications of clarifications need clarifications, which are denoted in bold.
1. Don't swear excessively. Excessive is defined as having 3 swears in a 3 message period, or 3 swears in a 5 minute period. Punishable by A
- See PG-12
2. Don't spam excessively, unless you're in the spam forum. Excessively is defined as having more than 3 posts in a row on a topic. Punishable by A
- If it's annoying, it's excessive.
- While we're at it, let's throw posts and signatures that take up a significant portion of the page in here as spamming, as well.
3. Don't win.
- Winners will be sought out, banned, and optionally burned at the stake.
4. Always fail.
- This is more of a recommendation than a rule. Sometimes certain amounts of success is required for the best fails. Failure is to be encouraged at all times.
5. Keep conversations PG-12. It's like PG-13 but with less 13.
- PG-12 consists of:
- Be as violent as you want. Just don't do that death threat stuff or any cyberbullying because apparently that's illegal. Punishable by C
- Keep the language to a minimum. No F-bombs at all, and no derogatory termswears. Other language follows Rule #1 as above. Punishable by B.
- You can reference all the drugs you want.
- No sexual content. Keep it in your pants, horndogs.
- Dicks are fine, but let the parents tell them about the birds and the bees. Punishable by A or B, depending on how far you went.
- No pics. Punishable by D or E, also depending on how far you went.
6. Be a decent person.
- We're not going to play around here, if you're purposefully trying to irritate or make someone else's life worse, you're not going to get away by saying "BUT IT'S NOT AGAINST THE RULES LOLOLOL." If you're being a jerk or just purposefully annoying, expect punishment A or B depending on how well you respond to a polite request to stop.
Punishments are as follows:
A. Make a granny blush.
- Kick on IRC
- Possible functional correction on forums if post makes it harder to use forums. For example, stupidlong posts.
B. Make a granny frown.
- Possible censorship depending on what's going on.
- A ban or devoice for a completely arbitrary amount of time that must be less than a day, and advisably an hour or less. Devoice first.
C. Make a granny teach you the errors of your ways.
- 1 day ban on IRC
- 1 day ban on forums.
D. Make a granny get out her whoopin' stick.
- 2 day ban on wherever it was the offense was committed.
- 1 day ban on everywhere else.
E. Everything else.
- Longer bans.
Welp that's about it. Any questions?
