Arcesious Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I propose a new rule on this site, that I have seen implemented on another site which helped Administrators and Moderators a lot. Specifically, It's a rule that if followed by most members, will make it easier for Mods and Admins to clean up messes that crazy people sometimes make on forums. The reason this is a good rule idea to implement is this: EX: A person with no life or self control joins the site. The person makes a bunch of spammy posts, possibly very, very, bad offensive posts, including pictures of a wide variety of things I will not mention, or cussing and flaming/spamming/trolling/necroing in the worst manner. Members often react to this very angrily, returning the favor. After the crazy person is banned, the Mods and Admins often have to clean up a huge mess of posts, which greatly annoys them. So here's the rule, created by an administrator from another site I have been on: When you see somebody breaking the rules in a very major way, just continue on how you were. Do NOT respond to them, do NOT acknowledge their existence in any way. Just inform a moderator or admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 It might not be specifically listed in the rules but that is how we expect members to react to a spammer, by ignoring them and using the report post feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcesious Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 If it is, then there's no problem. I've read the rules, but It's likely that I woudl forget if there was aleady a rule like this here. However, I can't check since I don't know where the list of forum rules is.

stoffe Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 If it is, then there's no problem. I've read the rules, but It's likely that I woudl forget if there was aleady a rule like this here. However, I can't check since I don't know where the list of forum rules is. The rules (or lack thereof) differs between the different sections of the forums. there is no uniform set of rules for all of Lucasforums other than the agreement you have to agree to when you register. Look in the forum sections you visit and you should find their rules, if there are any. A "Do not break the rules when you see someone else break the rules" rule seems a bit redundant, in my opinion.

Bob Lion54 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I think this pretty much covers what you want: 19. Other The most important rule of all: Don't be stupid. Use common sense. This is a wonderful rule that covers all the loopholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 That's the golden universal rule. Think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millinniummany3 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I've seen this before, where people react badly to someone being a jerkoff. I guess the basic rule of thumb is don't, forum paths are paved with members who had lost the plot this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Jones Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 That's the golden universal rule. Think. Don't think. Know. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urluckyday Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Even without this "new rule," I have to say that LF is one of the cleanest and spam-free forums I've ever been a part of, and I am proud to be part of the community because of that.
