Forum rules discussion

I agree with what Matchuu said, but will this be linked with what Zerg wanted regarding the warnings being removed ingame? I mean, if one should be pardoned ingame; they should be pardoned on the forums...

If we are not going to archive threads (This will significantly reduce workload for forum mods) then we should have a "No Necro'ing" rule.. :3

We could class a Necro as posting in a thread which hasn't been active for over a month (Obviously this would be judged on a case to case basis, and some exceptions could be made.)

Breaking this rule would be punished with an official warning, 3 warnings for this, and you start getting temp bans.

If necro'ing becomes a problem, (2 or more users do it a week), can we just lock all the topics older than a month?

[HovR]

Could do.

Maybe if the person who created the thread cAn lock it themselves after they don't need it any more...

I think we have the rules figured out. So i like mattchuu's idea for the banning situation and i also agree with kenny about the locking your own thread if thats possible.

On the other forums, I repeatedly asked everyone to report their own threads once it became ready for archiving.. Out of over 100+ regular posters, not one person ever did it.. I wouldn't expect that people will lock their own threads.

[Dakotah]

I reported other peoples but never mine since i don't think i had any that needed archived haha

But you do have an point there but what would be the problem with just adding the option because maybe some people will actually use it (even if its only a few) thus lowering the work load on the mods.

Oh, one important thing, COLORS!
It would be annoying if people were talking like this all over the forums
So I suggest red as a color when a mod+ edits a post and types in a warning or locks and moves a thread. So basically, no extreme-hard-to-read-colors.

Any suggestions?

What are you talking about this is legit!

no but seriously, as long as it's readiable it shouldn't be an issue. Maybe no all yellow
