Your thoughts on my forum's rules?

[James]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) No use of strong language.Hovever if it's in context(e.g.-A book,video game,Television show,etc.) or a quote or in/ or from a game/music/etc. review, it's alright.)



2) No pornography allowed.But if it's art(e.g.-art by Micheangelo,etc.)/ecchi, please use the spoiler code. (e.g.

[Spoiler][/Spoiler]

)



3) Deceptions of cruelty, blood, gore, and dismemberment is prohibited without notifying clearly.However, gameplay videos and let's play of M-rated games are fine.



4) Spamming, trolling, discussion of raids, hacking, and piracy are prohibited.



5) Don't insult or flame anyone, no matter what the cause. A playful, you idiot, etc is allowed. No racial, religious, or other slurs, either.



6) You may not ask for a moderator position. Moderators are people who we consider are good members who make sure everything goes right.



7) Do not post links to shock sites, and screamers, and crap like that. We don't need that stuff in our forum



8- Do not create multiple accounts. Moderators are able to view IP addresses, and anyone caught with multiple accounts will get all the accounts deleted and have their IP banned.The only exception is the admin's test account.



9) Discussion of gambling, drinking, and the like is not tolerated.



10) You may not have giant signatures/avatars on this forum, it makes most things hard to read.



11) Avatars/Signatures may not have anything offensive or disturbing.



12) Do not type in capital letters on this forum. This is considered shouting on the internet and is very annoying.



13) Do not post large pictures. Some members have dial-up or slow connections, and not to mention they just piss people off.



14) Be mature and friendly, please.(With the exception of the Role-Play board, in which all hell can break loose.)



15) Double-posting is prohibited on this forum.However if you are bumping your thread and 24 hours have passed, it's fine.



16) Necroposting (posting in a dead and inactive topic) is discouraged, unless you have a valid point to bring to the discussion



17)Please keep your anime,furry(beastality ),video game,etc. fetishes to yourself, we don't want that BS on our forum.



18)Please do not make a thread for advertising your site, if you must advertise..

please do so in your signature.



19-Videos that are posted must be at least appropriate to 13 years and under,but there is exceptions, like video game reviewers/reviews,M-rated games,Let's Plays,etc.



20)Please use proper grammar and spelling, even if you are a new member, please remember this rule.

These are the rules. Follow them, listen to the staff, behave in a normal manner, and have a good time.

What do you think about my forum's rules?

Any comments?

 

[James]

Well?

 

[Raven]

You have posted the initial topic 10 minutes ago... give people a chance to read your topic first before replying with ....well?



As for me.... it'll take me about 10 mins to read that haha.

 

[James]

Well people were not interested, it seems.



Any rules I should add or delete?

 

[beowulf]

Well?

hole in the ground that you get water out of

People arent interested?! You've given a 10 min time limit.... give people a chance... Not everyone can reply at once! Only me and you and 2 others have actually viewed the topic.



As for the rules. Most are common sense when it comes to a forum.



I don't agree with Necroposting (posting in a dead and inactive topic) is discouraged, unless you have a valid point to bring to the discussion



I would rather see a forum with 1 topic on a subject, not loads because its a dead topic.



Discussion of drinking, and the like is not tolerated



Whats wrong with drinking?

Necroposting is something that is frowned upon on many forums and message boards.



I'll change that other rule.

 

[Raven]

Is it? Why? I have never understood that?



What is wrong with having just the one thread on a subject? forums get messy when you have mulitple threads on one subject.

 

[James]

Necroposting in a thread, will get people pissed, espically when the thread is a month old.

I've been on a lot of forums, unlike you.

lol..........wish you could tell that to someone on another forum im on..........he joined recently and is bumping 5 and 6 year old threads...................and its great cos he is generating some really good and relevant discussion and activity

 

[James]

My forum is intelligent and mature.



We prefer not to bring back threads that are 5 or 6 months or even a year old back from the dead.

 

[Kasynlie]

So you're saying you have to be dumb to bring up an old discussion? An intelligent, mature forum would allow people to have their say on a matter regardless of how old the thread is.

 

[James]

Nope.

It's never a good idea to bring a old thread back from the dead, it's better to let it die.

.

its about gaming!...............how is that mature?





you run your forum how you want to..............if it survives then good, you made it work

Erm excuse me, I have been an owner of a forum for 7 years!!



my topics are older than a month but I still allow people to post in them.



Don't be so rude to members or you may see yourself being banned.

 

[beowulf]

Nope.

i disagree 100%

but then the forums i go on are fun places

You sound like a real troll.



It may be about gaming, but we don't act like freaking 3 year olds, or crack jokes.

The only immature member on there is a guy named Francis and he's a real geek.



We don't really throw profanity, neither do we spam.

 

[Kasynlie]

Your rules are hypocritical too I noticed. Your last rule says to use proper spelling and grammar, however the previous to that is grammatically incorrect; but there is exceptions. You also need to review your puncuation.

This thread is getting out of hand. Please be respectful of each other.
