FAQ: Rules and Other Information
« Thread Started on Nov 16, 2006, 11:56pm »
The following are the rules of this forum. By posting, you are agreeing to abide by these rules. By not following these rules, you will receive warnings (viewable only to yourself and staff), and possibly suspensions and bans.

Thou Shalt Not...
1. Post offensive messages. This includes private messages to other members. Offensive messages include, but are not limited to: threats, harassment (sexual or otherwise), flaming, excessive swearing, etc. Additionally, don't use misleading subjects. Make the subject of your thread relevant to your topic.

2. Post pornographic/offensive photographs or links to pornographic/offensive websites. This is strictly prohibited. It is not only offensive and disturbing to some, but it is also illegal for people under 18 (and even 21 in some states) to view pornography. This forum is for all ages. (Whether a picture or link is offensive/pornographic will be determined on a case-by-case basis.)

3. Post off-topic excessively. This includes double posting (use the "modify" button) and posting for the sole purpose of raising your post count (if you want to raise your post count, use the Fun & Games board - that's what it's there for). Please try to post new threads on the appropriate board, and try to keep off-topic replies to a minimum. Use the 'fork' button if at all possible. We realize that conversations evolve and change over time, but please keep most replies on-topic to the discussion at hand.

4. Encourage illegal activities. Do not post any threads to teach members how to make homemade bombs. Do not post any threads encouraging pedophilia, bestiality, or necrophilia. I cannot stress this rule enough.

5. New members who do not post at least one reply or new thread will be deleted within 2 weeks. A simple way to avoid this is by posting an introductory thread on the "Introductions" board. If you're not going to post, why join in the first place?

If you see members violating the above rules, please contact me (by PM or e-mail), or the moderator(s) of the board where the problem is located. Please include the nature of the offense, the member who violated one or more of the above "suggestions", as well as a link to the offending thread.

As administrator of this board, I reserve the right to modify the above rules at any time and without notice.

Staff FAQ
« Reply #2 on Feb 19, 2007, 2:35pm »

Quote:
1) How does one get on staff?
2) What would get one kicked off staff or suspended?
3) What limits one from becoming staff?
4) What is required of staff?
5) What's expected but not required?


1) Staff is chosen based on the following criteria: a) active poster, b) has shown an interest in the board, and c) are well-liked among the members. Do not ask to become a staff member - if I need a new staff member, I will extend the offer personally. Asking me will only decrease the likelihood that I will pick you.

2) The general rules found above apply to staff. A staff member would be suspended or removed from staff if they continually broke these rules.

3) The limits are related to the answer of the first question.

4) Not much is required of staff at this point. I generally ask them to be nice and friendly, but it is not required.

Spambots and Their Spam Posts
« Reply #3 on Jul 7, 2007, 12:13pm »
This is an example of a spam post made by a spambot:

Quote:

When you come across posts like these, don't pay any attention to them. It will soon be deleted and the IP address of the spambot will be banned. Replying to a spam post like this is off-topic to the thread (unless of course the thread is talking about spam posts...).

First, click on the "checkpms" button. On the far right hand side, click on "Preferences". From here, you can opt to have a box pop-up that will notify you of any new PMs you receive. You can also opt to receive an email when you receive a new PM, or you can block users from sending you PMs.

We don't enforce this rule enough.
