Sherack Nhar Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Yes, the old dreaded policies are back. They have remained unchanged. I'm posting them because it seems that the spam of some people have been increasing lately. As a warning to everyone, please note that the mods will be less permissive in the next few weeks. ****************Golden Rules**************** 1. You cannot, in any way, insult (or "flame") someone else on the board. People may not be insulted just because their opinion differs from your own. Flaming includes calling people names, insulting them in any way or saying offensive things to them. 2. Refrain from using profanity in your posts. 3. Spamming is strictly prohibited. Your post needs to contribute to the discussion or the topic. *** Spam Details*** In any discussion board, the continuous posting of messages irrelveant to the topic or discussion is strictly prohibited. You should not consistantly be able to look up at your screen and see that the majority of topics or messages on a page were just created or posted by you. To Discuss: To talk about a subject in detail. To Chat: To talk in a light, familiar way. Informal talk. (ie one sentance posts such as, "I agree" etc.) Chatting is considered spamming and will be dealt with accordingly. ***End of Spam Details*** 4. The posting of links to sites that contain illegal material (ie where to get illegal MP3s, warez, etc.) is prohibited. 5. The posting of obcene material is not allowed. (ie pornography, violent and disturbing images and or writings.) 6. Avoid duplicating anybody's nickname, avatar, and/or sig images. Make or find your own. This also applies to people outside our community (ie names of people of another community). It is strictly prohibited to impersonate someone else. 7. Threads and posts must be placed in their apropriate forums. (ie Threads about Galactic Battlegrounds go in the Galactic battleground discussion forum, etc.) 8. Before posting a new topic. Do a search to see if there is already a recent thread pertaining to what yours is about. If there is already a post similar to yours, feel free to read it and post a reply which will bring it to the top. 9. Be specific in the naming of your topic. This will aid in topic searches and help prevent someone from posting something you already have. 10. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s). We reserve the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you. 11. You may not register another account under the same IP number. *************End of Golden Rules************* *****************Penalties****************** Penalties for registering another account under the same IP: The person be warned, and the extra account(s) will be immediately deleted. If the person recidivates, his/her IP will be banned from the community. Penalties for spamming, cussing, and flaming: First, the person will receive a warning in the form of a private message from the moderators. If the person does not comply, his/her account will be deleted. If the person registers under another username and keeps flaming/cussing/spamming, he/she will get permanently banned. Penalties for stealing: The "victim" (the person whose username/sig/avatar/etc. was stolen) will be contacted by the mods. This person will decide what penalty to enforce. The mods will then see if it's an adequate penalty. Penalties concerning illegal activities: If the person posted links to ROM sites and/or warez sites, the post will be edited and the person will be warned. If the person do it again, it's a temporary ban. If it's about posting pornography, the user will be permanently banned without warning. **************End of Penalties*************** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherack Nhar Posted January 17, 2002 Author Share Posted January 17, 2002 The rules only apply to GB.com. If you wish to use them for RS.net, you are free to do so, but we'd like that you credit Rhett, Leon and myself for creating them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue15 Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I only made it by going against it. Was kinda high on mountain dew at the time, and all the mods were asleep, so i decided to post a reply to every single topic. Rhett wasn't too happy about that...most of my replies were on topic too...I guess that rule is good for here, cause they have alot of members here, unlike at rs.net, where people join, and then immediately get either A: Banned or B: Bored and leave. lol that was funny about that massachussetes guy. hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duder Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Can you explain to me why you have such strict rules on chat, and spam? Even your mods were at it the other day, but it was just regarded as being quite funny. If any other forummers did that, Rogue 9 would usually make some arsy comment and close it down. No wonder people are leaving these forums. I have to say I don't blame AU Heavyarms for making that thread, and the patronising response he received highlights some of the problems on these forums. Being a mod does not make you some kind of intellectual superior to others. More maturity please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 oh come on, don't ruin the fun for us mods! That thing with niner and Gunner the other day...oh just get over it! Mods are supposed to be superior to members... i wish i could get into the private forums!! niner, Gunner, Ike, SOMEBODY gain me access to them!!! Matt suggested that u remove my mod title and then readd it and that might work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duder Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Im not really bothered by it, and that is why I ask why the rules are so strict. It's the off-topic forum, why should it matter if people chat? Surely it encourages the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31989 u were talkin about that thread, right? Ya, i must agree that the rules on 'chat' are too strict...doesn't allow for the community to take on a personality.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duder Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Originally posted by Rogue15 Mods are supposed to be superior to members... Superior only in that they retain a level of maturity, and keep things in check. They are not entitled to their own set of rules. They certaintly shouldn't be refering to people as 'boy', or 'kid', or making character assasinations on forumers who are clearly younger than they are. That quite simply is out of order, and personally it puts me off posting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
