Hello, all. Edit this if i get something wrong.
Basically, here we have a few rules aside from proboards. There aren't a lot, but abide by them or we'll lolmod you.
1. No pictures of yourself. Safety for minors, and...We honestly don't care about how hawt u r irl, lol. Seriously. If I had a dime for every time i saw "Am i pretty?" Posted on the internets, i would be a rich man.
2. Personal Experience means nothing when discussing character's usefulness. The fact is, just because your Stefan dodged liek omg 12 archers in a row does not mean Stefan is Stefown.
3. If you need to report someone, pm a mod. Be mature. Don't spam the shoutbox yakking about how such-and-such is a troll, just tell us.
4. Assume everyone is as smart as you. Don't talk down to people.
5. DO NOT SPAM We've had bad trolls come on these boards and spam then with utter stupidity, and that's what spam is Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages
Use Branded-Land for that kind of stuff, but if it gets any longer then two pages the staff will clean it up.
6. Roms and ISOs So you ask for a FE6 rom as you cannot play it otherwise, not only is this against the rules, but against the law as well, if you link to a rom, you could get our site banned and fined. And you'd be banned. Permanently. Use the PM system.
7. Pornography If you link to pornography, you will be banned. Why? Although it appears many of our members are 18+, we still have a few who are in the 13-15 range, and they'd rather not see it.
If you want porn, PM someone about it, but don't post it.
Swimsuit images however, are allowed.
8. Personal Info Safety concern. Listen to what your parents told you, and don't give people personal info.
9. Respect gets respect. Seriously. if you come into the RP threads, don't just make fun of people for being nerds. If you have an acct here, that pretty much guarantees you are one to some extent. Just don't be a jerk, and people won't treat you like one.
10. Advertising If you are a member of any other board, please feel free to put a link to us in your sig. Do not, however, badger people about it.
11.Messing with the coding We've seen it happen on other forums, someone posts some weird script on a forum, causing it to malfunction and making the administration angry.
Now, even though our forum doesn't use HTML and HTML as well as Javascript will just come out as some weird text (Klavice has tested this
already for safety reasons) but this forum runs on UBBC a totally different type of coding in which if you mess with, the whole board goes haywire, so if you don't know what you are doing, don't do it.
12. Harassment Just don't do it. If you flame them, we will come. The Lolmod Train will descend on you like a rabid mongoose.
13. Shoutbox flooding This is basically spam, do too much, and you'll be temporarly banned.
Fortunately now, we have the power to delete shoutbox posts so if someone spams, we can simply delete it all, but that doesn't mean you can flood.
14. Begging for a ticket on the Lolmod Train Just don't beg for mod/adminship. It is grounds for lolmodding, and just plain annoying.
15. Bumping old threads: If a thread is more then two months old, you are not allowed to bump it, start a new thread if you must, but reviving a year-old topic and posting nothing that adds to the subject may beg for lolmodding.
I know i missed some, so mods please edit it.
