Title: Deezer, look at these great rules.
Post by: marioguy on July 07, 2003, 09:51:48 PM
Everyone should see this. These are the rules in the Zelda Universe forums:
§ 1. SPAM (Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages) Is completely illegal here at our community. Our definition of spam: » Anything that's just one word, or is extremely short--including "lol," "rotflmao," and any other pure spamola. » Any post that has only a smilie as its content. Come on, how much imagination does that take? » A post that helps nothing along but is just blatantly obvious or uneeded or repetitive such as someone ending their post with "that's gross" and someone else saying afterwards, "yes very" or "nasty", or "eek, eew". » Repeated advertising. Spam causes a big use of bandwith from our servers, and therefore a higher bill. Because of this, our moderators will take immmediate action against spamming. Our advice: Don't do it.
§ 2. Language and Grammar Because the boards are open to people of all ages, please keep the swearing at a minimum. Also, please put some effort into your spelling. It makes the board look a lot cleaner and appealing to new users, not to mention the fact that current members have to deal with it, too.
§ 3. Fighting ...is not allowed. It is okay to discuss things, but fighting (namecalling, flaming, &tc.) will not be tolerated. As always, treat other members the way you want them to treat you!
§ 4. Admins & Moderators Respect them. They are your superiours in here, and they can tell you what to do! The current Administrators and Moderators are:
Administrators- » AnakiN- » Remus » Zephka
Super Moderators- » Akie » Big Bro Davidia » DrewBalla » Droshi » Jonboyshewell » lord-of-shadow » The Merchant » Wumpi-chan
§ 5. Restricted Forums There are currently three restricted forums: the Staff Forum, Clan Forums and the Role Playing forums. The first one can only be accessed by Administrators, Moderators and ZU Staff Members. There is no need to ask for permission for accessing this forum, as confidential discussions about both the messageboard and the site's future take place here. The second houses the three clans (Farore, Din; Nayru) which are special groups which many members choose to join. After two weeks of membership, you may contact Big Bro Davidia for further information. Once you have joined a clan, you will automaticly be granted access to the Role Playing forums as well.
§ 6. Critique If you wish to comment on either the boards and/or the site, please use contructive criticism, and be sure to post it in the Feedback, Suggestions and Questions Forum. You can also PM your comments to AnakiN-.
§ 7. Topics & Posts As far as it is possible, stay on subject in the different topics. If you have something else you want to talk about, start a new topic! Many of your random posts will be suitable for the General Chit-Chat Forum.
You are free to post as much as you want, but do not double post -- Meaning two posts after eachother in the same thread. If you have something to add after you posted, use the edit button.
Posts such as "I am leaving" or "I am back again!" are not allowed outside of the Community Thread, a special thread dedicated for unrelated talk such as that, which really does not need an entire thread of its own.
§ 8. Avatars/Signature Images; Custom Ranks » Avatars cannot be bigger than 90x90 pixels, unless noted elsewhere for smaller dimensions. » A maximum of two signature images are allowed. The largest permissible dimensions for Signature Images is set at 400x200 pixels! Remember, no one likes a cluttered post. Your words mean more than the images you use. Many members are distracted and annoyed by exhoribtant signatures. » These are the various ranks at the forums, and the number of posts you must reach to get the various ranks: - Deku Scrub (Minimum Posts: 0) - Gerudo Thief (Minimum Posts: 30) - Goron (Minimum Posts: 100) - Zora Warrior (Minimum Posts: 300) - Hylian Knight (Minimum Posts: 500) - Royal Hylian (Minimum Posts: 800) - Sage of Wisdom (Minimum Posts: 1000) Custom Ranks are available only to moderators, and to members which have been registered for more than 100 days, and have posted over a total of 1000 posts.
§ 9. Religion Discussion regarding religion will not be allowed in the forums. Why? This is because people on the board belong to a wide array of religions, or even no religion at all. The past has shown that this is a topic where it can be very hard to accept that people have different opinions, and in 99% of the cases, it ends up with huge quarrels.
§ 10. Advertising » Advertising outside of the Websites & Advertising forum is not allowed, as long as it does not add something to an already existing thread. » Advertising through the Private Messaging system is stricly illegal, and will be rewarded with an immidiate ban. If you receive advertisements through Private Messaging, be sure to report it to a moderator or an admin. » Links to sites with illegal content, or content not suitable for all ages (this includes ROMs & Emulation sites, sites that contain sexually explict material etc.) is stricly prohibited, and can be punished with a ban without any warning.
Deezer, you should edit them to make them your own rules for TMK Fungi Forums.

Those rules are too rigid and strict. The ones we have are fine.
And honestly, not talking about religion and other views/beliefs? As long as there is no flaming, talking about it can be an enlightening, interesting, intelligent debate and conversation. If people are not mature enough to handle it in a non-flaming manner, then that only makes THEM look bad, and THEY'RE the ones with the problem.

Actually, those rules would work, on a LARGE community (Like RSC). However, on a community such as this one, where only one mod and one admin are allowed, and I can count the number of active members on my hands, those rules are a bit too rigid. Besides, who would inforce them?
I mean, if I saw a post reading "lol"... it would actually take more bandwidth to replace it with a "removed" message. So ya.
Congratulations! You have just been blessed by the wisdom of Steve.

Rules are lame. Look where they got Frank in that great Jason Statham flick 'The Transporter'. I'll tell you where they got him. Almost dead!
But seriously, no one can kill Frank.

That's because you never been there. At the end of every topic there is a quick reply option. If you want to do a regular reply you'll get all these options like font or if you would like to post a link to a site or an email address or you can attach a file.

Not awesome to me. Anyways, going to 2 boards is bad enough for me-with everything else I do.

I actually visit that site a lot.(mostly to read hyrularity, which hasn't been added to in a long time) But I never bothered to check out the message board. Good ol' TMK is good enough for me...but they do have avatars...
The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.

I personally think the rules are fine. And in case you haven't noticed, Deezer hasn't posted here, so he must think the rules are fine too.

Yeah, our rules are fine. BUT, I do like that title system that's based on how many times you post.
