As anybody who visits this site can tell you, the rules are very laxed. But since we have a few new members here, I think I should bring them up again. Mind you, these don't supersede nor modify the legal agreement.


Flaming


Generally tolerated, unless it starts to become an issue across the site. If you're looking to "battle it out" in public, please create a topic in the Open Discussion forum.

Trolling


Everybody makes a "trolling post" here and there, but to designate your account solely for trolling, that isn't tolerable.

Bumping


Accidental bumps do happen, and sometimes you'll find an old topic worth replying to. In these circumstances bumping is excusable. If you're adding something of substance to a topic, then it is fine. Whether or not it is "something of substance" is up to a particular mods discretion at any given time.

Images/Links


Pornographic, highly offensive, or images used for XSRF/XSS cannot be shown on this site. If it is something to be talked about, please make sure to link to it with a warning of its contents. This applies to shock sites (pornographic or not) such as Rick Rolling. Do remember that most shock site links and images will cause your entire post to disappear automatically by the forum system. And never, ever post them with other site's logos.

Example of a good warning:
Warning - Anal sex, exposed schlongs, etc
Meatspin

Do not reduce the font, change the font color, or alter the attributes of the font that reduces legibility.

Spamming


Do I really have to say no to this one?

Derailing


There has never really been an official rule here in the past. Normal conversation will tend to "off-shoot" new ideas, etc. Moderators will issue warnings before bans for this. I will leave it to moderator discretion whether or not the original topic's goal is dead, and whether to allow the derail to continue, or attempt to re-rail the topic.

Personal Information


Posting personal information is probably the worst offense you can do on this site. If an E-Mail account, messenger account, etc is yours, you must be able to prove it is yours. While these are too serious, you should be careful about posting them. On the very serious side of things, addresses, names (besides first), phone numbers, social networking links (MySpace, Facebook, etc), drivers license numbers, social security numbers, etc (you get the hint) should never be posted. Posting these will cause your session to be ended, your account to be locked out, your IP to be banned and worst off: OMG Post deletion!

Posting Warez


DO NOT post links to warez without using the WAREZ BBCode tag.

Supplements


From the members. List below rules you think that should be changed/added.

Policies November 11, 2009


If you're here reviewing the rules, please also check out this topic with updated policies.

I agree, but I think unless it becomes a repeated problem, that a simple "Check the post dates before posting" should be enough. I never thought bumping was worth a ban.

The rest I think its pretty good, and I have nothing else to add.

Yea, That's how I meant that. If it gets out of had or intentional, then bans come into play.

Ein Schrei wird zum Himmel fahren, Schneidet sich durch Engelsscharen. "Mein herz brennt, gib mir kraft." Der kalte Mond in voller Pracht hört die Schreie in der Nacht... und kein Engel steigt herab.

Sometimes troll posts are just funny... I mean, I rarely try to troll, but sometimes you just can't resist stupid comments.

I find the occasional troll post to be quite humorous.

Like a joke.

In case anyone was wondering, I will not delete you, because I cannot delete you. But I will lock you out of your account, and IP ban your ass, but you'd have to do something bad to warrant that.

I'm glad they're suiting everybody...I'm even happier to see the only bans that had to be given out were to teh1337 for being a dung smuggler, to change his signature, and just for the occasional lulz.

Added a link to the new policies topic.

Otherwise, a few aesthetic changes (h2's and hr's), but nothing that really changes anything.
