GENERAL RULES FOR POSTING:
RULE # 1: GRAMMAR
You're typing on a message board. You want people to understand what you're saying. You want them to QUICKLY understand what you're saying. Don't be like the French Baker. Unless you're actually doing an impersonation of The French Baker...
RULE # 2: NO NECRO-POSTING
If you see a thread has been inactive for a while (weeks, months, years...)... don't reply to it. What that does is knock it all the way back up to the top of the forum. This confuses myself and other visitors because we've forgotten about the thread.
RULE # 3: THE MISSING RULE
This rule isn't here. But if it was then you'd better read it! I don't wanna have to pretend to ban you because you didn't read a rule that doesn't exsist and therefore break the rule and me banning you but not knowing why I banned you because this rule isn't even here.
RULE # 4: ATTITUDE
Be respectful of your peers. If someone's incorrect, don't be afraid to correct them... but be nice about it. In turn, don't be a jerk if someone corrects you on something. Believe it or not, you arn't Mr Godman.
RULE # 5: PLUGGING / SPAMMING / SPARKING
Our forum is not a place for you to plug your site or spam anything specific. If something comes up in the normal routine of discussion, that's fine; don't come to the forum just to plug something, though. You'll get a warning, the thread will be locked, and if you do it again, you will be banned. Basically... this isn't a recruiting ground... it's our sacred site of uselessness..
RULE # 6: AVATARS / SIGNATURES
Needless to say, no porn in your avatars, please. Keep them tasteful. Also, they may not exceed 80x80 pixels, or be larger than 8 KB in size. Also, please keep images out of your sigs. They cause unnecessary bandwidth and scrolling, which can he hard on users that still have slower internet connections.
RULE # 7: THERE IS NO PIZZA PARLOUR HERE
I'm not a freakin' restuarant. I don't even know why i'm writing this!
RULE # 8: RULE # 7 WILL NEVER APPLY TO THOSE OUT OF STATE
If you are from Tasmania then you can't read English and can't understand Rule # 7.
RULE # 9: RULES SUBJECT TO CHANGE
These rules can be changed, added to, deleted, etc. at any time. The rules are not necessarily to be taken literally, and are always up to interpretation by the administrators and moderators, only. Arguing against this won't help your cause, trust me.
If you just read all that crap then congratulate yourself. If you didn't then I'm afraid I must cut off your electricity. |
