~Rules for the Forums~
1. No spamming. This is intolerable and doing it excessively will result in a ban. Spamming is considered to be: Posting anything completely off topic or irrelevant, posting in a thread more than 3 times in a row, or making more than 3 new topics in a row. Simply starting up a new conversation in a thread does not count.
Bad Example:
Topic: Where do I get the level 70 mount?
Good poster: In aqua
Bad poster: CHEEZE
Good Example:
Topic: Where do I get the level 70 mount?
Good poster: In aqua
OK poster: the level 70 mount reminds me of my pet pig
Bad Example:
Topic: Where do I get the level 70 mount?
Good poster: In aqua
Bad poster: idk
Bad poster: lol
Bad poster: google it or something
Bad poster: -proceeds to post Rick Roll link-
2. No Flaming/harassment. Constantly using your caps-lock voice on others is not very nice and is also intolerable. Flaming is considered to be: talking in all caps-intended to have an angry mood toward anyone, making fun of or bagging anyone.
Bad Example:
Topic: Where do I get the level 70 mount?
Good poster: In aqua
Bad poster: WOW your stupid. ITS IN AQUA, DUMBSHIT....
Bad Example:
Topic: Where do I get the level 70 mount?
Good poster: In aqua
Bad poster: I CANT BELIEVE YOU DON’T KNOW THAT. WHAT AN IDIOT!!!
Good Example:
Topic: Where do I get the level 70 mount?
Good poster: In aqua
Good poster: TRY HERE! =D -gives appropriate link of directions on how to get the mount-
3. Stay on topic. Do not post something completely off topic in a thread. Starting a new conversation, WHEN THE PREVIOUS TOPIC IS FINISHED/RESOLVED, is okay.
Bad Example:
Topic: Where do I get the level 70 mount?
Good poster: In aqua
Bad poster: I like mountains
Good Example:
Topic: Where do I get the level 70 mount?
Good poster: In aqua
OK poster: I wish the mounts could talk
4. These are forums intended for entertainment, so try not to be too personal/serious. Posting your feelings about something or someone can be a real letdown for some people. If you wish to speak to a specific person, please use the Private Messaging system.
Bad Example:
Topic: Where do I get the level 70 mount?
Good poster: In aqua
Bad poster: Sarah... I LOVE YOU
Second Bad Poster: I LOVE YOU TOO MIKE -both start rambling on about each others feelings-
Bad Example:
Topic: Where do I get the level 70 mount?
Good poster: In aqua
Bad poster: dude... what the hell, were you drunk last night? My car was gone and I couldnt find you, I had to sleep in the park play tunnels
Second bad poster: yeah sorry I crashed it
-fail-
5. No inappropriate content. Again, these are forums intended for entertainment. If you want THAT kind of entertainment... I suggest you try Google. Posting inappropriate content such as porn/bad pictures/descriptive and detailed sex writing, is not tolerable and is downright disturbing and offensive for some. I won’t write an example for this, as I think you would get what I mean.
6. No Excessive Cursing. A little cursing is okay... but please try not to use it excessively. Some people find if offensive and irritating and it isn't good manners.
Good Example:
Topic: Where do I get the level 70 mount?
OK poster: ****, I dont know this either! D:
Bad Example:
Topic: Where do I get the level 70 mount?
Bad poster: **** ******* *** ******!!!!!! RETARD! **** some people
If you can manage to follow these 6 simple rules, I’m sure you will be an honored forum member. Please play safe, and have a good time in Informal or Formal~
