How 'bout some rules? (Includes List of Cohorts)

[DW]

so...it isn't convo posting if you stay on topic, or what?

Well speaking of the rules how about you change them a bit. Like defining what should be in General Discussion and what should be in Chatboard. The rules are vague at best, but the majority of topics in both threads are spam, spam, and oh yeah SPAM!!! Make a difference, it shouldn't be that hard.

I cannot change the rules that Jack has set, although I can clarify that all forum games are to go in the ChatBoard, except the ones that have already been made. I'll contact Jack if I have time this morning.

Only Jack can make rules, but any random person on the site can suggest them. Mods and Veteran Members (over 500 posts or from 2005-early 2006) are taken more seriously, though.

Why wasnt this stickied? Well whatever, I made it sticky.

Umm... Is there a list of what words are acceptable or not? Because revently there has been a debate about whether a certain word is profanity or not.

[darkphantomime]

I say it's about bloody time someone makes up their minds about it. Let's not use the word outright... Instead, let's say that it starts with F and rhymes with Luck... Yeah, that should be easy enough

Why is fire truck a bad word?

[Hi no Seijin]

Word, not phrase, Shikamaru.

Foretuck? Is it foretuck?

[Mysterious F.]

Also, shouldn't things that are not always age appropriate not be here? I know it's common sense, but remember when Ganon posted that...

wow
i should've looked a bit harder
the two things i looked for for the first 1/2 hour or so i was on this site was
1. a newb forum post so i could meet some people

and

2. i heard a buncha things about READ THE RULES IF YOU DON'T WANNA GET BANNED kinds thing so i went looking for the rules.
I didn't think they'd be a forum topic

my friends say i don't have a great grasp of the obvious
i'm starting to believe them

[Gamefreak]

I wouldn't say the rules are "Completely" necessary since most of it is common sence.  But some are things you should look into.

[Mysterious F.]

Yes, spamming is a more minor offense, while insults and cussing are much larger ones.

[bgrugby]

You know Whocares you are really not meant to be a mod, saying that spamming is only a minor offense. If it is done in minor doses (besides being in the Chatboard) yes, but the way you say it is ok and I think that is why people on here spam like crazy because of your way of thinking. It is JUST as bad as insulting as it is insulting the intellegence of other members and JUST as bad as swearing because it is allowing spammers to spit on the hard work real members do. Unless the rules state otherwise...THERE IS NO MINOR OFFENSE....and I know as I was here before you even joined buddy.
