I was bored and so I would like to know what do you guys think of this for forum rules. Think of it like a second chapter of the written GM Rules.

This topic was
originally created to assist people who are new to forums to
familiarize them with some of the commonly known rules. Therefore, I
would like to re-post it here on our new forum for everyone to read.
Please read and follow them, and enjoy your stay here at http://roseon.ucoz.com/

Here is a list of rules to follow here on FreeStyle Forums.

Uhh
yes the dreaded rules that must be followed, but don't worry reading
them will only take a few minutes and your less likely to get in
trouble or flamed out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------
No Flaming!
- Any personal attacks will not be tolerated.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
No Cross posting
- Don't post the same things over whether it's the same section or not
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
No Trolling
- No posts derogatory comments
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
Post In the Correct Section! If you don't know where you should post, post to off topic.
- Check out the topics before you post them and ensure they are in the right places in the forum
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
Respect everyone! Especially staff.
- Yes, we like to be respected for our hard work. But treat us like any other player.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
Use the SEARCH BUTTON, if you are going to post something which may have posted before.
- Yes, this also relates to Cross Posting.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
Don't ask for moderator/admin status, when one is needed, you will be informed.
- Applications are for reference, not for conversations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
No Porn, or anything illegal.
- Does this really need explaining?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
No spamming or flooding.
-
Spamming means posting useless posts which don't help the conversation
in any way and flooding means posting something repeatly. If spam or
flood messages are found, they will be deleted immediately, NO DOUBLE
POSTING.

I'm not SPAMMING!?

I
hate to break it to you sir/mam but this is not a chat room so any
comments that don't contribute to the topic are considered spam.

Examples would be:

Yeah, that's awesome!

That's funny!

Try
to keep posts meaningful otherwise it just clutters the topic. There
for being called spam. Sometimes this is allowed if your new because we
understand that it can be hard to fit in with everyone but it SHOULD be
avoided. Keep such small talk to the Chat box on the index page.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
Post should have at least 4 words and one sentence and have 3 smilies.
- Yeah... It helps prevent SPAM.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
Personal harassment of any kind is not welcome.
- Criticize ideas, not people. You are welcome to have heated discussions but
criticizing
someone to win an argument is not on. If you are going to have a big
argument with someone do it away from the forums.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
Racist, homophobic or sexist comments, or comments disparaging another persons religion are not welcome here.
- It's just not right, we don't want arguments on the forum.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------
This
forum is aimed for all ages who play. So make sure that any images,
avatars, or posts conform to that standard. No sexually explicit
material is welcome here. There is a time and a place for that but that
is not here. Swearing is permitted but keep it to a minimum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

Posts about or links to hacks is not permitted. You can freely discuss skin modifications.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
All
the trademarks and copyrights are property of their respective owners.
Upon request, we will remove (if liable) any information from the forum
that violates any copyright or trademark.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
Advertising
other Online Private Servers is not allowed, even if it is your own
private server or somebody else's. It also doesn't matter if you post
screen shots or a URL of the server.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------

Text mixed with numbers (L33t, Sp33k, etc.) is not allowed on our forum
boards. Using this text doesn't make you a 'l33t H4CK0R' just a
nuisance to everyone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Using any of the images on this site (doesn't apply to images posted by users) without permission is not allowed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
Try
not to post redundant threads. Do a search and see if anyone is already
talking about the subject you wish to discuss. This helps us keep the
clutter down.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
Signatures
and Avatars. - We have a no limit for signatures though do not abuse
this and make sure your signature is of a reasonable size: (400x150),
avatars is a max of 100x100.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
Posting
another persons personal information, pictures, etc., without prior
consent is strictly forbidden. This also includes private emails,
instant messenger names, addresses, passwords, etc... Please contact
the user before posting any of their information.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------
If a word is censored by the forums, do not attempt to evade the censor by adding letters, spaces, or other characters.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
Please
refrain from making threads or posting just because everyone else is
doing it. It is not only annoying, it also degrades the quality of our
forums, Quality above Quantity!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
All
users, both staff and regular members are expected to follow these
guidelines. Violators will receive a warning and a 24hr ban. No second
warning; violate the rules again and you will be banned from the forums.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
Post count doesn't make you COOL

Yes
many people come on to forums and boost their post counts to no end.
It's not necessary because people won't respect you if all you do is
make pointless comments just for the +1 post. Try your best to make
posts meaningful people respect you more for it, and hey maybe you'll
get some karma points.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
Why was I warned? =(

Well
to be very blunt you broke the rules and therefore got a warning.
Warnings are issued to people who break the forum rules, if you get a
warning for spam that generally means don't keep spamming the forums. 4
Warnings = Perma Ban no exceptions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
Necroing and YOU

Necroing
is when someone revives a topic long dead. Avoid posting in threads
more then 2 months old that haven't had anyone post in it for a long
period of time. Forum Regulars frown upon this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------

And finally this is a forum, not a chat room; treat it properly!
