Extra rules?
« on: February 02, 2012, 01:57:30 am »
I noticed that there isn't a list of forum rules...
Personally I love the forums, I could spend maybe an hour just working on the forums :)


So Here are a few rules I have from my Regiment's (Clan's) website.
I hope this could be added to the list of server rules ;)



Forum rules (Of course you can switch things around)

Level 1 = Warning
Level 2 = Temporary ban
Level 3 = Permanent ban

Level 1:

1. Do not triple-post (double-posts aren't recommended either).
2. If you purposely post in the incorrect section of the forum, you will be given a warning.
3. Debates/discussions are not to get out of hand or derailed. If there is a massive amount of threatening/offending someone based on their views, action will be taken by the admins/moderators.
4. Do not use an offensive avatar.
5. No Racism
6. NO use of vulgar language.
6. False reports will result in a warning.
7. Slander will not be tolerated.
8. Don't post anything in capital letters alone.


Level 2:

1. Once three warnings are issued, You will be Temporarily banned
2. Do not advertise anything stupid and irrelevant to the forum.
An example would be advertising Viagra.
3. Do not post any type of pornography (Including links, and erotic stories)
4. There is to be absolutely no trolling or disruptive behavior (Even outside the forums, including ingame)
5. There is to be no religious or political action of the support/convert method.
An example would be attempting to convert people to Christianity.
6. If you believe that you have a severe mental disability/implication that can affect your communication negatively with other members, then do not join us.
7. Abuse of authority will not be tolerated by the Officers.
8. Do not offend other members of the community by implying they have a disability, illness or such. (General - Cat. #2 as variations in what is posted)


Level 3:


1. No posting of ANY child pornography. You will be permanently banned, and possibly reported to your local authorities
2. Eight warnings in one month results in a permanent ban.
3. Please do not exploit a loophole for any of these rules, as you will be permanently banned.

these are good but kinda scary as well.  no trolling? posting in the wrong section?

P.S. Im pretty sure relkeb and the other ops/forum admins are doing just fine with the rules. Besides we all have a sense of humor, as u might have noticed :P

Hmm... I forgot to mention, these rules were made for forums made by people aged 16 and older.

As I said, the rules can be modified to suite the population here.

2. If you purposely post in the incorrect section of the forum, you will be given a warning.
And how do we know they do it on purpose?

6. False reports will result in a warning.
I do not understand what you mean by this.

7. Slander will not be tolerated.
I also do not understand this.

8. Don't post anything in capital letters alone.
BUT WHAT IF I WANT TO RAGE?

2. Do not advertise anything stupid and irrelevant to the forum.
An example would be advertising Viagra.
I don't see how this is a problem, advertising another server, is.

4. There is to be absolutely no trolling or disruptive behavior (Even outside the forums, including ingame)
Even relkeb trolls.

5. There is to be no religious or political action of the support/convert method.
An example would be attempting to convert people to Christianity.
I call this trying to convert people to a brony.

6. If you believe that you have a severe mental disability/implication that can affect your communication negatively with other members, then do not join us.
I'm dyslexic, so I can't join now? Trust me, this is severe.

7. Abuse of authority will not be tolerated by the Officers.
I do not understand this.

1. No posting of ANY child pornography. You will be permanently banned, and possibly reported to your local authorities
What about adult pornography, did you put that in there because you hate child pornography and don't want the adult stuff?

2. Eight warnings in one month results in a permanent ban.
No.

3. Please do not exploit a loophole for any of these rules, as you will be permanently banned.
I do not understand what a loophole is.

For example posting a ban appeal on unrelated discussion, or on the moderator application area.

"Quote from: tabooti on Today at 04:57:30 am

No."

It's a suggestion, Doesn't have to apply.

We already have punishments for most of the stuff you listed. But instead of making concrete rules, we treat every situation differently because each situation is different.

This is a general layout for the forums. Not ingame.
There won't be different cases on the forums... if so, this should prevent it.

Well ive seen people do that by accident but i dont know if anyone has ever done that on purpose. Even if they did, u will never know. The human mind is too complex to be understood like that. :P

"Quote from: tabooti on Today at 04:57:30 am
6. False reports will result in a warning.

If you falsely report someone for breaking the rules

That's kinda an obvious rule and im pretty sure its already in effect.

"Quote from: tabooti on Today at 04:57:30 am
7. Slander will not be tolerated.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Slander

First off, lmao for googling it for me. Second, isnt slander kinda like the above rule (#6) except that its more malicious intent?

"Quote from: tabooti on Today at 04:57:30 am
8. Don't post anything in capital letters alone.
BUT WHAT IF I WANT TO RAGE?"

No.

No capital letters should not be an enforced rule. occasionally its ok, as long as ur not spamming. In game, we use capital letters all the time:p ... its just those who spam with it are those that are warned. lol btw mr, how often do u rage? u seem like a mellow guy :P

"Quote from: tabooti on Today at 04:57:30 am

"stupid and irrelevant"

Actually, optical and relkeb allow this as of now. Just a few days ago, i was advertising for mineimg.com, a photo uploading site that im a staff member of. I wanted to get out the word that we we are having a contest and relkeb said its fine that i advertise as long as I, like mr said, dont advertise another server.
"Quote from: tabooti on Today at 04:57:30 am
4. There is to be absolutely no trolling or disruptive behavior (Even outside the forums, including ingame)

Yes

This is a rule that would destroy personality on this server. We express ourselves thru our awesomesauce trolls, both in game and out. Too much trolling/disruptive behavior is the only time when it becomes an issue for us, though.

6. If you believe that you have a severe mental disability/implication that can affect your communication negatively with other members, then do not join us.
I'm dyslexic, so I can't join now? Trust me, this is severe."

That will be up to you to judge

wrong and unfair in my opinion. u cannot judge people like that. u even said a few rules down from this one, that u cant be rude about this topic. This is a topic I would not support.

"Quote from: tabooti on Today at 04:57:30 am
7. Abuse of authority will not be tolerated by the Officers.
I do not understand this."

I meant moderators, or anyone who holds any type of authority.

Yes, this is already established i believe. but as far as i know no one has broken THAT rule yet. It's something that is established when the OPs first go on trial and train to learn about how to OP (right?)

"Quote from: tabooti on Today at 04:57:30 am
1. No posting of ANY child pornography. You will be permanently banned, and possibly reported to your local authorities
What about adult pornography, did you put that in there because you hate child pornography and don't want the adult stuff?"

If you read Level 2, Rule 3... You wouldn't be asking...

I think this is an obvious rule on any legit forums site (as well as games). We actually do have a rule on that i think. Like specifically written for that.

"Quote from: tabooti on Today at 04:57:30 am
2. Eight warnings in one month results in a permanent ban.
No."

It's a suggestion, Doesn't have to apply.

In theory, yes this works. But again its another established rule and we have very capable well prepared OPs, mods and admins that know when a person is to be banned. I think we have sorta a "2 or 3 strikes" rule.

"Quote from: tabooti on Today at 04:57:30 am
3. Please do not exploit a loophole for any of these rules, as you will be permanently banned.
I do not understand what a loophole is."

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Loophole

lol i think he meant he needed an example :P. But ya we make clear loopholes arent tolerable. One of our ban rules somewhere (i cant remember exactly where; perhaps the ban appeal rules thread) states that u cant make another account to bypass ur ban. If you are found out, u will be ip banned. So technically we have a "no loophole" system in place, not sure how developed it is but again, its one of those "obvious" rules.

Overall, i think u have good ideas as a general layout and i support ur organization. Its just about half of those rules are already something we have established. Some other rules i cannot agree with because they are unjust or unfair to the player and despite our rules, we want to give the player a fun time on the server. Just remember that rules are good but people need to have some fun, as long as it doesnt annoy or disrupt anybody negatively.

I am positive if I was 16 I would not understand it. My vocabulary isn't going anywhere soon.
