Well, having no rules at all on a forums can only go well for so long..

so.. what rules..?

Profanity would be main for now I guess, and no posting in ban appeals.

-Limited swearing (the occasional damn/hell/crap) is fine, but if it's just being tossed around for fun/anger then it's bad
-Trolling/de-railing topics Trolling is a sensitive word but it does get annoying when people go "@krisst cool story bro" it's not helpful (tyler)
-posting in un-related to you ban appeals
-Obscenities (unless we have an Rated R topic >.>)

-No MAIN profanity, words such as 'damn, hell, crap' should be fine.
-No trolling or insults on purpose. You should HAVE to ask them to stop before ban, warn etc.
-No hacking into the forums (obvious one)
-No spam (obvious)
-No rude topics to be seen by the public . E.g. talking about pornography. <If you don't what that is people; don't worry.
-If it's not constructive, don't criticize...

I really, really want the community to be able to give a say in ban appeals, or at least something like Vet+. Some mods are biased as they won't want to unban someone that they banned, as it will seem like they didn't ban them for a good enough reason. I read ALL ban appeals, and some were not accepted which absolutely should have.

Everyone pretty much nailed everything. As Zerg said, There won't bee much perm bans. It would range from a 6 hour to a 2 day ban and such. So there shouldn't bee a huge need to hand residents, donors, and veterans the ban hammer.

I hate ban hammers.. they're so.. mean.

So we've got the forum rules nailed down.

Now how about punishments and ban durations?

Breaking forum rules 3 times result in 1 hour ban maybe? :3

by **mattchuu** » Tue Nov 01, 2011 7:31 am

1st & 2nd offence warns
3rd offence 1 hour ban
4th offence day ban
5th 2weeks

If it continues after that its obvious they don't get and should take a muuuuch longer ban (9001 years? )
