| 1. Respect others-This mean any and every member. Also respect the admin and the mods' decisions, they usually have a legit reason for doing anything. Also...No flaming! Do not start fights, constantly argue, or try to purposely get yourself in trouble. Warning % - 50%2. No spamming-Please refrain from pointless posting, or any "chatbox" like post. When you post, try not to make 1 word posts. You can do it sometimes, as long as they aren't very spammish. One word rule is negated for the "Forum Games" forum as well as in the Chat Thread. Warning % - 50%3. Please be appropriate-Please try and use appropriate language, pictures, links, etc. for the age group of people on. No excessive cursing, only when absolutely necessary. Warning % - 55%4. No advertising-You may tell people about certain sites and give them links to videos/other media, but do not advertise a forum you made. Not even partner forums, If members feel the urge to join a forum they may click your button. If you get a PM or see anyone advertise, please report it to a moderator or admin. You may advertise in the Advertise section with over 10 posts but thats it. Warning % - 100%5. No plagiarism-Don't post anybody else's artwork or text without appropriate credit (something where the artist can be considered obvious, such as official art or characters, video game screenshots, etc., does not count), and definitely do not claim to have created anything that you didn't. Warning % - 80%6. Do not give out any information that might be too personal, it is best for your own safety! Giving out your gender, age, or state is considered fine. No warning. This is just telling you too watch out7. No begging-Do not beg someone to battle/trade you, and no begging to be a mod or an admin. Warning % - 30%8.

| I think the no one word posting has been going too far. For example somebody asks "What's your Favorite sport?" You should be able to just answer "Baseball" without a mod or admin yelling at you for it. Maybe just put a 4 character minimum to prevent "k" and "yes" from being overused. | |

| It's far easier for members to write "My fav sport is baseball' than to go into all the special cases. | |

But they shouldn't HAVE to write "My fav sport is baseball" | |

| ^It's not THAT hard....
Anyway, should we have a rule about not discussing illegal things? | |

17. Do not post too much in Forum Games. It is considered spam and may lead to Warnings and Banning. Warning % - 19%
If you have any questions on these rules, please feel free to PM any of the Admins or Mods. 1 Kills soo much fun!
2. Meh (There is point tome going up and down the list bear with me. xD)
3. People lie about their age and you can not control who gos into what thread. Well actually you can, but it would take a bagillion hours to set up.
4. Should loosen this up a bit. I mean, unless someone actually abuses the hypothetical right to advertise their site (The 'right to advertise' should be decided, not too much more than you allow now, cause you don't want the site to become a den of other forums advertising - Maybe every 24 hours a chat post saying a bit about the site etc etc, not everyone will go look at the advertisement forum), it would work fine loosening your collar a bit.
5. Meh
6. Meh
7. The world revolves around begging! D: Lol not rlly. Meh again
8. Meh
9. Meh (If by this point you haven't noticed, 'Meh' is just a filler for a rule Idc about saying a whole lot about)
10. Meh
11. I'd scrap this, you should be happy when members acyually know the rules. It doesn't hurt in the slightest to have a member - like a Veteran one not a mod - to instruct some little forum rugrat before a Mod gets there etc etc
12. It should auto matically resize images to a desired size as chosen by an Admin. If not simply make it resize automatically
13. Meh
14. You need to define 'rapidly'. 'Rapidly' can be anywhere form 1 second to 20 seconds depending on one's definition. I can get protecting Epileptic people etc, but its awfully restrictive. if you have Epilepsy/something else alike...You aren't going to be sitting on your DSi/3DS playing pokemon etc and won't be o the site in the first place
15. This sucks. I always threaten to wack people with my Steel Toed shoe. i mean, this pretty much eliminates Roleplay fun, or even joking around. If I say I'm gonna beat you to death with a plastic spoon if you don't do as I say....It is reasonable to assume that is a joke...Especially inserted into a conversation
16. if you are just going to edit it, why make it a rule?
17. This is complete crap. The fun and games section is meant for exactly that, fun. It kills the fun to say "Oh you can't post anymore...You'll be banned!". As long as someone doesn't post more than 2wice in a row (I'm assuming you have merge Double Post) it should be no problem. People like to post one after another for a block of time to advance through a game, you would mark that as 'Spam', when really it isn't
Don't complain about the rules | |
