Posted: Sat Apr 19, 2008 11:05 pm Post subject: FORUM RULES |
 |
To avoid any means of spam, stealing of copyrighted property and copycatting, we have guidelines you should follow when you're here on the forum. Every rule will be observed in all boards unless otherwise stated. These rules are just basically common sense so it's not like this forum is going to be tight-knit strict. Our mods will be firm with spammers and kill joys so better obey the rules.
Rule # 1
No spamming. Spam means repeating the same thing over and over again, writing nonsense messages, off-topic replies, topics in the wrong boards, writing 1-3 words in one single message, writing rude words in any of the boards. We have punishments for excessive spammers. In short, we don't tolerate spammers so please be aware of that.
Rule #2
Don't share your personal information. We're talking about your full name, address, telephone numbers, cellphone numbers, school name, email addresses. You may share them via our PM feature with your parents' permission.
Rule #3
Be polite. Don't go all crazy if you find out someone has the same typing style as you, or has a similar username. If someone doesn't understand what you're writing about take your time to write about it in a polite manner.
Rule #4
No harrassment. Sure, you may tease someone but just tease, no hard feelings. Just plain fun. If someone teases you don't get angry right away. It's just a joke. But if someone really goes right up your grill, report him/her to me or to any of the mods.
Rule #5
No StIcKy CaPs or dnt typ lyk ds. It gets annoying and hurts the eyes. Also, don't use bright colors to go with your fonts.
Rule #6
Don't go off-topic, by replies and by thread-making. Like if some posters are talking about Fall Out Boy, don't go barking about My Chemical Romance. Or if the board is specifically about living a healthy lifestyle, don't make a thread there saying about school. We have many different boards and your thread must be related to one of them somehow. If not, go to the [ Chat Box ] board.
Rule #7
Read the whole thread (or a few pages back) before putting up a reply. It will help you give a good reply.
Rule #8
Don't double post. Don't post a reply underneath your first post. Double posting can also mean posting a thread that's already been posted.
Rule #9
Don't post nonsense stuff just to increase your rank. If you spam excessively just to get the top rank, you might get the boot.
Rule #10
If a poster is being rude, just ignore them. Report them to the mods, and they will take care of that poster. Just enjoy posting in this forum and have fun making new friends and having your voice heard.

Rule #11
No flaming fights! Don't publicly insult/hurt/humiliate someone verbally on any of the boards. Don't post topics like "Anti-*member's name here* Club". Arguments should be settled privately, like via PM or email.

Be nice. If you think someone's "getting involved", it's possible they just want to help out. Also, censor swear words.
Rule #12
Respect everyone, even members who are younger than you. Age doesn't matter, that's true. Respect could mean a jillion things here on WS, such as not humiliating other members publicly.

Rule #13
Keep everything kid-friendly, from your choice of username, pictures, and text.
Rule #14
Speak English. You could chat in your dialect in the ShoutBox. Actually, you may speak in your dialect just as long as you translate what you just said.
