New Rule to Forum Rules

[captain blue]

This rule has been enforced, just not officially written down.

"Supporting trolls or posting about you trolling servers is not allowed"

I believe a large amount of bans were carried out for Zoneark supporters, in some drama thread.

Self-proclaimed trolling is already against the rules.
I think.

Yes well, he was not banned for trolling.
He was banned because he made an addon that would give anyone who knew how admin on any server that had it.

It is, but it is not written down

1. Do not post ambiguous topics.  The title of your thread should describe its contents.  If you are asking a question, there should be a question mark at the end.  Ambiguous topics will be locked.

Examples of bad topic titles:
help!
idea i just had
question...
Examples of good topic titles:
Game crashes when I paint a brick blue
How do I ban people?
Map Idea: Mars Base
2. Do not post adult content. - That means no nudity or gross stuff.

3. No warez - Do not talk about pirating software at all.

4. Use the Search feature before posting a question.

5. Do not plea for sympathy
Do not make posts about how you are leaving the forums. Just leave. 
Do not make posts about how the game isn't fun for you anymore.  Just stop playing.
Do not make posts about how you are going to kill yourself.  Just do it. 

6. Think before you post - Completely unintelligible posts will be locked.

7. Do not flame - If the entire point of your post is to tell someone what an idiot they are, don't bother. 

8. Do not cross post. - Do not post the same thing in more than one forum. 

9. Do not advertise other forums

10. No pyramid/referral schemes -  No one is going to give you money or an iPod/flatscreeen monitor/xbox 360/whatever just for getting people to click on some crappy link.  It's a scam to get you to spam forums for them.  Stop posting this crap. 

11. No chain-letter style spam - Copy and paste this message into 5 threads and you will be permanently banned.

So?

how is a totally new person supposed to know about a rule that's not written down?

Common sense?
though I suppose if people had that, this would probably be pointless.

if everybody had common sense, bdspot wouldn't need to go into detail about forum rules

He was banned around the time iban made v2 of cityrpg.
He was a big friend.
