Author Topic: Thy Unwritten Rules  (Read 1795 times)

Going by what other people have been banned for, there's quite a handful of unwritten rules. I don't think anyone's listed them before...so here I go.

Don't repost failbinned add-ons - Add-ons are failbinned for a reason. Usually they're broken and spammy. Reposting them is basically saying "Hey look at me, I draw with inkless pens!"

Do not change the title to a stupid or irrelevant title - If you're gonna change the title, at least make it relevant to the thread.

Acting too cool for the internet results in a ban - Do not go and say that somebody has no life, or you're above the community. This counts as a plea for attention.

Being too stupid to live can get you a ban - This goes hand-in-hand with the "think before you post" rule. If you can't post without making a complete idiot of yourself, chances are you don't belong on the internet.

Unnecessary or unprovoked flaming is a no-no - You'd better have a good reason for constantly flaming somebody. Over-doing it will also get you banned.

Do not admit to trolling - It's stupid to troll, but it's even dumber to outwardly say you're trolling. This is a well-justified ban reason. You can also be banned for admitting to trolling ingame.

Being a furry too much - It's actually possible to be so much of a furry to get banned. It may sound far-fetched, but that's an actual reason.

Posting or boasting about hacking can get you banned - Hacking ruins the fun for others in a game. Believe it or not, but boasting about hacking makes you look like a jerkwad.

Do not spam PMs or Reports - It counts as spam nonetheless, and doing this will get you banned, and have your ability to do so removed.

Constant begging will get you banned - Begging once in awhile is okay, but over-the-top diehard begging gets annoying, and gets you banned.

Overuse of BBC tags counts as spam - There is no need to use sixteen tags just for a sentence. There's also no need to resize your text any farther than 40.

Using gigantic images, or unnecessary page-stretching results in a ban - Believe it or not, nobody wants to see gigantic images stretching their screen and crashing their browser. It also is as equally as annoying when somebody page-stretches using other methods.

That's pretty much all the unwritten rules I know about. I hope these help.

No, it's the reasons of why people have been banned before that aren't in the rules.

I support this and now state my opinion that this should be stickied.

no lol

Most of the reasons up there are just uneducated guesses as to what those ban reasons mean

I'm pretty sure 50% of the op is incorrect.


I don't think you read the unwritten rules
He's trolling and stuff. Let the child be with his Neo-national socialist ways.


Wow stuff. Just looked back at this, Did not expect that to be that big.
It just seems to me like that's really up to the mod's discretion. So If a mod is just feeling angsty one days
 they could start banning people, or ban people that don't like.

That's just my Opinion though, and we know how that works.

Alright, now to make that picture smaller so you don't completely disregard the last rule in the OP.

Modify the post, and where it says [img.] (without the dot) add a space to that and type [img width=500.] (again, without the dot)

Well now you have to change the title; they are now written.
