| Rules | |
| By: Shane Date: September 11, 2012, 9:21 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 1. This forum is for the planning of any projects of members of | |
| this forum. Members should PM an Administrator if they want to | |
| plan their projects here, or alternatively ask in the Off-topic | |
| subforum. | |
| 2. Do not be evil. This includes deliberately sending members | |
| PMs with pictures of things they are afraid of. | |
| 3. Do NOT post NSFW stuff. NSFW stuff are things that are not | |
| suitable for work. If you do post NSFW stuff, you will be | |
| punished with a month-long ban. | |
| 4. Members should help out where they can. | |
| 5. No alt accounts are allowed. Having one will result in a | |
| fortnight-long ban. (That's two weeks.) If you evade a ban using | |
| an alt account, you will be banned for four months. | |
| 6. If a glitch allows a member to edit other people's posts, | |
| they are only allowed to edit posts in the boards they moderate. | |
| (See the next post for information regarding one incident). As | |
| of recently, though, it has been fixed; this rule remains in | |
| effect just in case this glitch is made again. | |
| 7. You are not allowed to put tip jars in your signature. | |
| 8. Have fun! (Yeah, okay, that's just a massive suggestion. :P ) | |
| 9. As of 24 November 2013, the first three characters in display | |
| names has to be numbers or letters. Almost all symbols are | |
| forbidden as the first three characters in a display name. The | |
| reason for this is because the forums don't allow those | |
| characters when assigning moderatorship to specific boards. | |
| Underscores _ and full stops . are allowed, however. | |
| 10. As of November 2013, members are to make their own | |
| introduction threads. That way, they can rename the introduction | |
| threads if they want. (This is technically a massive suggestion | |
| though.) | |
| 11. Bait-and-switch prank videos (such as the "rick roll") are | |
| allowed, but if the post is reported by three different members, | |
| the video is removed and the the member given 5 warning points. | |
| 12. Making several posts in a row is allowed. | |
| 13. Abusing memes is not allowed if they relate to politics, | |
| religion or contain swear words. Members who post such memes | |
| will be given 10 warning points. | |
| 14. Discussions about politics and religion in public are banned | |
| from the forums, due to the tendency that they have to cause | |
| flame wars. Using PMs to discuss those are okay, however, but if | |
| things escalate to a flame war and one member is reported, this | |
| rule will be made MUCH more stricter. | |
| 15. Regarding redirect boards, you can't ask an admin to create | |
| it and just expect them to do so. Oh no no no no. You will need | |
| at least +25 Reputation if you want one redirect board, +50 Rep | |
| for another, +75 for a third, and so on. | |
| 16. You may not have a signature that's bigger than the admin | |
| with the biggest signature. | |
| Any questions should be asked here. | |
| Things not in color are rules that predate 2 September or are | |
| agreed on by the staff. | |
| Things that are in red are added by Taylor. | |
| Things that are in blue are added by KarjamP. | |
| Things in green were added by the real Shane. | |
| Any other rules that are suggested are to be approved of by the | |
| administrators. | |
| In the event that one agrees but the other disagrees, all other | |
| members who can access the Staff HQ board will make their votes. | |
| Global Moderators may edit any post as they see fit. They have | |
| the following rank icon: | |
| http://cdn.smfboards.com/ranks/stargmod.gifhttp://cdn.smfboards.com/ranks/starg… | |
| They may not, however, edit posts in Announcements | |
| http://shanescavestory.createaforum.com/announcements/ | |
| unless it | |
| is their own posts. | |
| However, Moderators are not allowed to edit any post as they see | |
| fit. They have standard rank icons in most boards. In boards | |
| they moderate, they have the following rank icon: | |
| http://cdn.smfboards.com/ranks/1staraqua.gifhttp://cdn.smfboards.com/ranks/1sta… | |
| In boards where Moderators have such an icon, they may edit | |
| posts in that board. In other locations, they are prohibited | |
| from doing so. | |
| Oh, and don't try to edit this post. We will find you, since | |
| admins can always see who edits posts when. | |
| Also, we've a back-up of this thread. Several, in fact. Probably | |
| more than four. We're not certain yet. :P | |
| [hr] | |
| WARNING POINTS: | |
| Warning points to decrease from users every 24 hours: 2 | |
| Warning level after user watch is put in place: 25 | |
| Warning level after user has all posts moderated: 50 | |
| Warning level after users can't post any further: 90 | |
| Maximum warning points that can be given to users: 10 | |
| If a member reaches 100 warning points, they will be given a | |
| week-long ban. | |

| Due to the forums having a severe glitch where all members can | |
| edit posts, a new rule has come into effect as of today: all | |
| members are only allowed to edit their own posts, and posts in | |
| the boards that they moderate. | |
| MODS: | |
| Dr. Time (Forum RPGs) | |
| Kanpachi (Kanpachi's RPG; The Well) | |
| KarjamP (Forum Games; Fan Fiction; Fan Fic: Dragon Riders) | |
| Kushagra (Slamo's Adventure) | |
| Shane (Shane's RPG; Fan Fic: Dragon Riders) | |
| Taylor (Fan Fic: Dragon Riders) | |
| Wayne (Cave Story Modding Help; SCS Community Mod) | |
| As stated above: administrators can always see who edited what. | |
| So it's impossible to hide. | |
| EDIT: | |
| As of... some time ago, this glitch has been fixed. | |
| I don't know the details, myself, due to another incident. :-\ | |
| So you're keeping it for the history? | |

| Um. | |
| Rule number 9: as of 24 November 2013, the first three | |
| characters in display names has to be numbers or letters. | |
| Symbols are forbidden as the first three characters in a display | |
| name. The reason for this is because the forums don't allow | |
| those characters when assigning moderatorship to specific | |
| boards, or when sending PMs to multiple members, etc. | |
| Seriously. | |
| When I tried adding ~ F a t i h ~ as a moderator for this board | |
| http://shanescavestory.createaforum.com/tales-of-farrovena-unexpected-heroes/,<… | |
| />the forums wouldn't let me. I had to change his display name t | |
| o | |
| "F a t i h" just to be able to do that. | |
| And I couldn't PM Polaris in the month of October, either; the | |
| forums wouldn't allow "�•��r‡�s$SsSSS" in the "To" | |
| box. | |

| Um. KarjamP can answer that, or Taylor if she gets back before | |
| the question's answered. | |

| A tip jar is when you put a link asking for donations in your | |
| signature. | |
| You know, like a "Paypal" link or a Bitcoin address. | |

| Shane: I see. Well, does this count for Halloween names too? | |

| Yes. | |
| Registration names are okay, but display names not. | |
| Names are allowed to contain underscores and full stops though. | |
