The Official Rules

[Frunk]

Hello everyone,

The purpose of this thread is to give members a place to reference to other members when they break the rules, and also for the intellegent of the new members who bother to read stickies (Even though this won't be stickied yet). This thread will showcase every rule this site has, so I really need some replies to suggest rules to add to this list. We need to cover Rep Scamming, Spamming, Double-Posting, Posting of Inappropriate Material, so on, and so forth, I'm about to go offline so i can't start writing it up just now, so keep get the replies in, any rules I add of yours will be credited to you and you will receive +1 rep per rule.

Thanks for the help, Frunk.

# Long Version

No profanity, inappropriate material, or content.

This is a family friendly forum; we have players of all ages, including children. Do not post links to sites that have content rated more "mature" than PG-13 (Some PG-13 content, swearing and partial nudity in particular, is prohibited from the boards.). Profanity is strictly prohibited. Any material that is pornographic, sexually explicit, visually offensive, derogatory, or discriminates on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, color, creed, religion, lifestyle, or, any other material (includes nudity and offensive pictures) that may be deemed as objectionable in a public community environment, is strictly prohibited . Use of foul language, including swear words, real-world racial slurs, alternate spellings, and other language that is not consistent with the fantasy environment will be considered a disruption. Any swearing, whether spelled out, placed in an acronym, and/or censored (both self and through the forum), or placed in a graphical image, is prohibited. The existence of the built-in swear word filter does not mean you should let it do your editing for you. Just because the boards are PG-13, it does not allow you to violate these rules in any way. This includes offensively named accounts which may be deleted/renamed at any time. And yes, filters are used for a reason. Circumventing these filters is considered breaking the rules.

 

No illegal content

This includes linking to any sites that may violate the rules. If you have any doubts, whatsoever, about the appropriateness of the content you want to post, don't post it. This includes but is not limited to:

# adult-oriented content

# content that breaks any laws

# copyright infringement (many MP3s, ROMs, etc.), warez, CD keys, cracks, passwords, serial numbers, etc.

# gambling and drugs

# hacking materials and information

# terrorism (promotion/carrying it through)

# trojans, viruses, worms, and other such harmful things

 

You must not harass or abuse others.

Harassment is defined as specifically targeting another player or group of players to harm or inconvenience them. As harassment can take many forms, the moderators will make a determination as to whether or not a "reasonable person" would feel harassed and act accordingly. Actions which would be considered abuse include but are not limited to:

 

Sexual Abuse or Harassment - untoward and/or unwelcome advances of a graphic and sexual nature - PMs: If someone tells you to stop PMing them and includes a reason, you stop. If you do not, it will be considered harassment.

Attempting to Defraud - creating false information with the intent of harming another and/or receiving benefits as a result - This includes reporting player misconduct without basis for it.

 

Impersonating a Moderator - falsely representing yourself to another player as an Staff Member (on or off the server or on chat) - includes using anything restricted to moderators like using official tags (see (5) No spamming.) ) and making it seem like a moderator edited it into the thread, implying that you can edit someone's posts, ban someone, etc.

 

Personal Abuse - includes but is not limited to sending excessive private messages or e-mails to a moderator or staff member, making physical threats, or using abusive language against a moderator

 

Fellow Users - The above also apply to fellow users on the boards.

 

No flaming (inflammatory speech).

Any speech or inference, direct or indirect, that constitutes a personal attack against another individual or group is prohibited. Do not insult other users for their ideas/opinions no matter how ridiculous they may be. Snide remarks will not be tolerated.

 

No spamming.

Unsolicited promotion of other web sites, or products, is spam. The occasional post about a game, (we all love games) allowed only in The General section, but no advertising your uncle's Avon catalog site, etc. Please keep our forums free of unsolicited advertisement or product promotion. Posting referral/recruitment/trick links is strictly prohibited. Do not create threads on a topic that is already being discussed. Make sure to read all forum and sub-forum descriptions and their rules before posting new threads to ensure that you follow the rules and post in the correct place.

 

Spam also includes (this does not mean "limited to" - if a mod determines that something is spam, it is spam):

# any posts that serve no purpose and/or fail to contribute to the overall productiveness of a thread (includes off topic posts),

# posts bumping/reviving threads (Unless sub-forum rules explicitly state that you are allowed to do so, bumping will be considered spam.),

# double/multiple posting (Unless sub-forum rules explicitly state that you are allowed to do so, multiple posting will be considered spam.),

To further clarify, this means that no one has posted after your earlier post. If this is the case, use the Edit button.

# posting in all caps and/or other pointless formatting,

# excessive use of smileys (maximum three per post),

# extra lines of space (only makes the post longer, wasted space)

# threads targeted at one person/a few people (use PM, e-mail, or IM instead - If no information is provided, nothing can be done.)

# general conversation (posts that serve little purpose on the boards, content that is better off in private ("How are you doing?", "I'm fine.", etc.), same as the above)

# and excessive quoting - quoting the post immediately above you (unless you are relevantly breaking down a post several lines long), quoting a quote, and quote pyramids).

 

Stay on topic.

As such the posting of material should remain at all times within a board that is topically appropriate. It is not, for example, appropriate to role-play in the game discussion forum, nor is it appropriate to post stories (think books, novellas, short stories, etc.) in the role-play (acting as a character, ) forum. Please keep replies and posts topical to the board on which they are posted or they will be removed. Remember to read each the description of each place, the guides, and any pinned (stickied) topics before posting. Do a search if you want to ask a question or start a new thread to make sure that it hasn't been posted before.

 

Don't change existing thread topics.

Relating to topicality, you should not be changing the topic of an existing thread when you reply. This just serves to confuse people who have been following a thread, and often leads to spam and extra threads. If you have a new topic, you should be creating a new thread on that topic and not "hijacking" an existing thread.

 

No trolling.

In other words, don't post pointless replies to every thread that someone writes, also considered spam. If you don't have any serious things to contribute to the conversation, stay out of it. Please try to keep your replies relevant to the topic you are replying to. If they are asking about Zards, do not start going on about your pet snail Snoopy or your great thirst for orange juice. Do not post anything intended to provoke someone. Be nice, and make the forums better for everyone.

 

No whining.

Whining is defined as "an attack upon an idea, concept or problem, without offering a counter-idea, alternative concept, or a solution" or anything along the lines of "It's not fair." Any and all whining is strictly prohibited. Ideas are welcome, however, attacking ideas without offering constructive criticism is counter productive.

 

No begging.

Do not ask for someone else's account information. This includes via the forum, PM, and chat. Accounts created for begging will be banned. Do not ask to become a admin, mod, etc. or special treatment. Asking is the best way to not become one. This includes heavily hinting at it and joking about it. No "trades" of any kind are allowed.

 

 

Sig Advertising Do not post telling people to look at anyone's sig. "Viral" Signatures (ie signatures which ask or tell others to include them in their signature) are forbidden. Sigs that are found to be annoying/distracting may be removed as well. Referral/recruitment/trick links are also prohibited (see rule number 5)

 

Note: To add an image

 

 

 

Account Responsibility

You are fully responsible for your own account and protection of your password. Statements such as "My friend/sister/brother/dog was using my account." are not acceptable as an explanation for the violation of any rule. If you share your account with someone and they break the rules, it will be treated the same as if you broke the rules yourself. It is also your responsibility to keep the account up to date, particularly the e-mail. If you use an e-mail that you rarely check, it is no one's fault but your own if you miss important notices from the staff. The same applies to using an invalid e-mail. Once again, your account and password are your responsibility and no one else's.

 

Mods of YCM will never ask for your password.

 

Reporting a suspected hacker? - PM the details to a Moderator. Do NOT post it in the forums.

 

Multiple Accounts

Multiple accounts are not allowed on the board. There is no reason for them, and the accounts will be banned.

 

No plagiarism.

This should not even need to be in the rules. Do not take credit for someone else's work.

 

Read and follow staff messages.

If staff or moderators post rules specific to a board, they must be obeyed. Staff give their own time to keep the boards running smoothly. Failure to comply with their requests is grounds for deletion. If asked by a member of Staff to stop or change a behavior or action, you will do so. It is the job of Staff to keep the forums clean, so don't think that they're "out to get you". Users will find their time on the board much more enjoyable when they follow the rules and address Staff politely (This does NOT include something that seems polite but is meant to provoke...).

The term “polite” is at the moderator’s discretion. An action or statement that you think seems acceptable or inoffensive may offend a moderator who has different views than you.

 

If you are confused with a Staff member’s decision, or there appears to be a conflict with another rule, bring up your question in a polite and respectable way.

 

No backseat/mini-modding.

This includes demanding that a user delete his/her post and/or getting the thread locked (e.g. Delete your post! This thread should be locked.). Any action where the user attempts to take over for a mod (including any variation of "I'd rate this ___, if I could!") anywhere on a sub-forum without explicit permission may be considered mini-modding.

 

This is especially true when the user only posts to do so. If someone has posted in a forum where it might be hard to determine what topic belongs there, post with advice addressing the question and suggesting (Note: NOT demanding) that the user post in the appropriately named forum.

 

Posting in a particularly troublesome thread will likely get you into as much trouble as other users. The best way to take care of rule violations is to PM a mod. Only PM the mods once per violation. It is the responsibility of the mods and the sub-mod groups to enforce the rules. Please make sure to PM the correct person in the sub-mod groups, as they can only moderate in specific boards and are not global moderators. Please do not hinder them by posting in threads that need moderator action. It only serves to revive the thread and create even more of a hassle.

 

Additionally, if someone has already posted proper advice on where to post, do not post the same advice worded in a different way, or posting “Member X is right!” or other statements along those lines.

 

Staff may delete and lock messages at their discretion.

Part of the job of moderators is to keep the boards clean. Messages deemed inappropriate, old, or off topic may be deleted/locked by moderators at any time.

 

Foreign Languages

the boards are english-only and do not allow any foreign languages, unless a translation is provided.

 

Additionally, if a Moderator requests that you not use additional foreign language in a thread, it means that they want you to stop, not to disregard the request.

 

Release of Other User’s Information or Communications

It is unacceptable to post another user’s private/personal/public information, including email address, location of residency, contact information, or other information without express permission from that user.

 

Private messages from the forum or external chat clients, emails, memos, note scribbled on napkins and all other forms of communication are classified as personal and are not to be publicly posted in any shape or form onto these forums, or PMed to other users of these forums, without express permission from all parties involved.

 

Other Rules

If you are told by a moderator to stop, you cannot claim that it was not stated in the rules. It is impossible and impractical to list every rule possible. Attempting to circumvent a rule will result in a more severe warning. That includes deleting a post then reposting an identical or similar version of it. That will be considered both bumping and multiple posting. Also, the determination of things such as begging, flaming, spam, whining, etc. are dependent on the mod, not the users. Any complaints involving attempts to find loop holes in the rules and complaining that it was not explicitly stated in the rules will be ignored.

[The Slime Lord]

I'm impressed Tkill.

 

I don't have as many suggestions as Tkill but here...

 

1) No rep trading. Ex. Heres a rep now give me one. Or, thanks for the rep, here you go. Also, you gave me a neg so I'm giving you one.

 

 

2) No spamming/abusing the rep system. Just like spamming on the forum, spamming the rep system is bad. Spamming/abusing the rep system includes but is not limited to:

 

a) like the first rule, rep trading.

 

b) saying things like, "hi", "you suck", "I hate you", " I like you", " you mentioned me in a post", "random pos/neg lol".

 

c) giving reps for things that aren't true.

i) "you said I was "blah blah", "you are mean to me", etc. (can't think of a lot.)

 

3) Don't give out private information about yourself. Except for card trade, but only if you have approval by a parent/guardian.

[Mr. Best Male 2008]
