Administrators Amethyst Posted January 24, 2014 Administrators Share Posted January 24, 2014 To everyone's amazement these haven't been posted anywhere before- we generally just say that our rules are a mesh of our server rules and typical forum etiquette. If you know both of those things, then you should be just fine. However, so that everyone is clear, here are some guidelines: Be respectful No chatspeak No trolling No derogatory language No advertising No overtly sexual content English only Necroposting: If new information comes to light in an old topic and it's useful to post, then this is okay. However, there's no reason to post a casual remark, such as a greeting or agreement, in a topic that's more than a couple months old. Double posting: If there is a reason people need to see the topic again after a long period of time after your old post, this is okay. For instance, suppose you were the last post in an Art thread but made a new drawing several days later and want to post it- fine. However if you're making several posts in a row all at once, there's no reason those shouldn't be kept to a single reply. Signature length: Our general rule is two-trainer card heights (not counting your trainer card). If it's longer than that, consider a Scroll or Spoiler tag. Quality of replies: Make sure each reply is on topic and has a purpose beyond simply saying you agree with something or think it's cool. If you must post those sorts of things, at least elaborate on why you agree, etc. You earn $R for each post, so make sure your post is worth the $R. If there are any questions on exactly what these mean, you are, of course, free to ask for clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenshine Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 If there wasn't a need to make this thread previously, then I guess that means the majority of forum users are respectful which is a pretty good sign for the community. Well, that or others are very diligent in policing others. Anyways, thank you for clearly outlining the rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyrias Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Our users are generally respectful, yes. Before, the forum rules were just the same as server rules, but we figured we needed to highlight some other things that could be worked on. Glad we finally have this post.

Nyrias Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Respect has been an overall rule, whether set in a thread or not. So yes, we expect all of our members to respect one another.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Godot, I really will never understand you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godot Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I was always taught to treat others how you wish to be treated. So if you show others respect you'll get respect back. And if I don't get shown respect then it will be difficult for me to respect them, I just have a more cartoony way of telling the story. Cuz why not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhi Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Impatient and trigger-happy people need a drive-thru version of this. Because I have a feeling this isn't being read fully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 There's no question that it isn't being read by most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I really wish there was a way to get more people to read these before they post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 enforce reading before any other posts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 People just ignore them, and I normally do as well. Unless I'm serious about staying awhile. Maybe bring them to the page automatically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godot Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 That's similar to what we do on the server. Our lord and savior Nyusus, gifted us the commands of /rules and /reborn1-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhi Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 There's one pet peeve I have.When people don't follow this: Signature length: Our general rule is two-trainer card heights (not counting your trainer card). If it's longer than that, consider a Scroll or Spoiler tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I know who your talking about. Give me a couple of hours to get home and I'll take care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhi Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I don't mean to be specific, but just anyone in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
