Rules of the Forum

Subject: Rules of the Forum Fri Feb 22, 2008 11:04 am

Welcome to the Simply Posts forum!

We hope you enjoy your stay here and don't leave!

Of course, you will need to follow some rules so you don't get in trouble.

1. Don't SPAM!
Spam= Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages
Basically, we don't want you be annoying by posting random things and letters! You can figure that out by yourself.

2. No advertising your forum or site!
Sure, you can put it in your signature or avatar or mention the link if someone asks you, but don't create posts or send PMs to everbody about your site, forum, chat, or whatever it is!

3. No innapropriate, porn, adult links, pictures, videos, etc.
This forum is a community for everyone of all ages to post things, don't ruin it!

4. No flaming
Flaming is starting an argument. You can hurt people feelings like this or get your feelings hurt.

5. Constructive Critism
Please be nice if you don't have anything nice to say. Sure, you can say that you don't like something or that they need to imrpove- BUT NOT IN A MEAN WAY!! This can start flaming.

6. No going against the rules of games you are talking about
This one isn't very clear, but basically no discussing hack or how to hack and all that stuff.

7. Don't overuse simleys.
We don't want to se 20 emoticons per post!

8. No begging to be a mod or admin.
If you do, you won't have very good chances of becoming one. We choose our moderators and admins in our own little system of desicions, so if you aren't on then wait a while and become mature and you MAY become one, don't just scream and complain.

9. Please don't bump.
Unless you have something REALLY important to say or the topic has a good reason for becoming active again (example: post something about the Superbowl a month before- a half a week before you can bump it).

10. Don't double post
You can double post every once in a while, but try NOT to do it. Also, if you accidently post the same thing twice (it happens), just ask someone to delete it. If you are going to bump a thread at the necessary time (see rule 9- Please don't bump) and you were the last one who posted in it, you can double post.

11. Try posting in the right forum.
Once in a while you'll probably post in the wrong place. We'll move it and you'll get away with it. It's fine, we can deal with a thread simply out of place. But if you seem to always be doing it because your too lazy to get out the forum you were just posting in, you might get slightly in trouble.

12. Don't curse or make bad names.
Once again, we have younger users on here! You can say small curses (sucks, crap, stuff like that), but don't say anything worse.

13. Don't make multiple accounts.
If your account gets banned, let it be banned! (if it's perma-banned and you didn't do anything we will do something about that) Don't make tons of accounts and don't make alternate account (alts) either! We will have to eventually ban your IP address.

14. Don't say/force out personal information
Even though asking for someone's first name doesn't seem bad (and saying it, either), don't say any too personal information. If you are asked to give a phone number or address REPORT IT IMMEDIATLY! If someone asks you for your name or picture, it's okay (if you're not comfortable giving it, you don't have to), they won't get into trouble. Try not to give out personal information adn try not to ask too carelessly. (if you wish to give out your picture and you are under 13 or so, you should ask your parents!)

15. Don't go majorly off-topic.
If someone posts a thread about dogs don't say "I like pie". It IS okay if gradually you get off the topic.

red= can get you perma-banned quickly (some are not IMMEDIATLY).

Really, any rule can get you perma-banned eventually if you don't follow it, but it is a lot easier to get perma-banned for the ones it red.

Confused? Did we forget a rule? Contact an admin by e-mail or PM!
