Title: Guidelines and Etiquette for Forums [Updated 05/09/2006]
Post by: Particle on August 21, 2003 11:51 pm CDT
Alright, I'm making a permanent post here concerning the guidelines I typically follow for editing content, banning, suspending, and posting.  I'll just post some quick sections with points to consider.  Nothing here is concrete (as in I reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time) and applies only to the normal members.  Moderators and administrators DO NOT have to necessarily follow these guides, as their duties are different and could possibly be used to contradict legitimate duties.

When I use the term posting, that refers to any information committed to this forum's database.  This is not limited to publicly viewable content--you are not to use the private messaging system or your personal profile for uses prohibited here either.  In addition to all of the rules and regulations that are explictly stated below, you must make sure to follow all rules, laws, and regulations applicable in the United States on a national level, the state levels of both Kansas and California, and the city of Brea, CA and any levels applicable to the place in which you reside and/or use these services.

I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR A PERSON'S ACTIONS OR COVERSATIONS.  I reserve the right to moderate this forum at any level I see fit and will not be held responsible if I miss something or fail to act upon something.  By your posting here, you agree to be held 100% liable for your own actions and conversation.  Leave me out of it.

Rules For Posting
Violating these basic content guidelines will usually give me enough reason to edit your posts for you.  This does not mean you are free to post it in the first place.


Rules For Usage of Forums and/or Services
You people are intelligent, like it or not.  If you know an action you are about to do would be considered abuse, you are wise not to do it.


Etiquette
In addition to the legal obligations defined above, you are to adhere to the following guidelines during posting:
will get you banned immediately.

- Please do not post the same topic multiple times.  Now, I don't mean that we can't have new Continual Story threads every so often, but I do not want to see five copies of "LOL I PWNED JUU NUBL3T" in General Discussion (or elsewhere) all created three minutes apart.  This falls under the spam topic discussed above.

- Do not troll.  There is no excuse for this.  As with harassment (very similar), there is no point to this activity at this forum.  I will likely ban you if you persist trolling activities for an extended time.

- Do not insult or threaten me.  I own and run this place with my own money.  I don't require for you to like me--a lot of people don't (valid reasons or not).  I do, however, require you to respect me if you wish to remain here.  Violating this rule will get you banned very quickly, as people have seen in the past.[/list]

BANNINGS
ALL BANS ARE FINAL.  If you violate these terms and are banned, YOUR BAN should be treated as FINAL.  There is no second chance--my memory just isn't that good.  Once added to my list, you will not be removed short of God telling me to.  So, heed the warning and do not ever have a lapse of sanity.  Drunkenness, being high, incapacitated, your kitty walking on your keyboard, aliens, moving monoliths, terrorist outbreak, hostage forcing, bullet impacts, nuclear explosions, armageddon, notes from your mommy, decapitation, electrical short, electrocution, computer malfunction, program crash, enlightenment, epiphanies, passing out, fainting, wild horses, puberty, or anything else is no excuse.  Don't expect it to pass as one.

All headings are provided for convenience and may not be used to alter interpretation of these rules.  Use of any services available under the pcrpg.org domain indicates that YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE to these terms.  I reserve the right to change this document as I see fit at any time.

Personal Note:
If you have been using these forums in the past, you should understand this.  Nothing is really changing--I'm just putting it in writing.

Here some reason, Particle really reminds me of Thief. No, not an actual thief, but Thief from 8-Bit Theater. Here's a perfect example. Maybe Particle is Thief!  O_O

*suspicion*

 For example, posting a link to a page about "Nazi Stomping the Jews Away" would be in violation of this rule.


LMAO! Sorry I found that funny just how you said it.

*agrees to these terms and conditions*  :roll:

It was meant to be humorous.  Hey, if I'm going to lay down some serious stuff, why not at least make it a little enjoyable to read?  =)

It is because some people that will remain nameless have used those excuses in the past to try to evade a ban.

Post by: WolfTones on June 27, 2004 03:03 pm CDT
I don't need excuses, I just used anomous proxy servers. And I told particle that I have, But the last ban, i honored and stayed away from this forum.

Updated to refine accuracy and scope of the rules agreement.  I've also added a dedicated Etiquette section to cover the expectations regarding posting.
