Author Topic: What to do, and what not to do on Blockland and the Blockland forum.  (Read 1381 times)

I know that a few of these have been made before, but I'm going to make one just to see if you Blockheads agree with me.

What NOT to do on Blockland:
1. Spam of any kind. (Brick, chat, emitter, explosion, item, light, etc.) (Spam is what makes servers lag. For brick spam, it's bricks not on baseplates. Although, it depends. If you build a wall with 1*2*1, 1*1*5, 1*1*1, etc., it is considered spam. Or, if you build just one brick on a baseplate.)
2. Asking for admin. (People will think of you as an idiot if you do this.)
3. Type in caps. (People will think of you as an idiot.)
4. Suck at typing. (If I can't understand you, you're either: A. Talking in a foriegn launguage, or B. speaking idiot.)
5. Start shooting people if it's not a minigame. (You can't hurt me, mate.)
6. Swear like an idiot. (It's okay to swear, but don't swear too much.)
7. Make a server with "free admin" or "free superadmin." (It's just stupid, cause you're giving random people who might even hate you admin.)
8. Ban for no reason. (What if someone with the BL_ID 1337 wants to join your server.)

What to do on Blockland:
1. Make good humor, not idiotic, immature humor.
2. Make decent builds that aren't spammy.
3. Ban for an actual reason.
4. Make friends. (We only hate you because you acted like an idiot in the first place.)
5. Know these people: Badspot, Ephailites (did I spell that right?), Rotondo, Camera, Heedicalking, Tezuni, etc. (You can suggest more.)

What NOT to do on the Blockland forums:
1. Not using good grammar. (You have all the time to type, nobody will know how slow you type.)
2. Troll. (People don't really like those.)
3. Post unfinished add-ons/add-ons nobody will need nor use. (I think we have enough guns. No need for more.)
4. Spam. (Emotes, letters, etc.)
5. Say someone's an idiot just because they called you an idiot. (Making friends is better than making enemies, just say sorry and maybe we will get our nice forum back/ have a nice forum if we've never had one.)
6. Talk in caps.
7. Make REALLY big chat.
8. Post bad builds in the gallery. (It's not funny anymore. The gallery is for builds that took a while for you to build, not ones that you finished in 30 seconds.)
9. Bump REALLY old topics. (You know, the ones that when you open up and dust comes out.)
10. Make a drama thread about everyone who you hate.
11. Make a useless clan.
12. Make a useless topic.

What to do on the Blockland forum:
1. Post finished and useful/fun add-ons.
2. Make friends. (You're reputation is at stake here.(Did someone say steak?))
3. Post a great build on the gallery.
4. Be humorous.

Feel free to add on to this thread. If you feel this is useless, just tell me.

i'm sure we don't need this.

inb4nottomakeastupidtopic

The people this is directed towards will not take the time to read it.

Not that these are good "rules" to begin with.

Thank you guys for telling the truth.

It's a big wall of text.

Sorry sir, but it appears not many people liek to read topics unless you make it an interesting topic that will bring trolls over.

Edit[b/]: Added #11 on the list.
New rule: Learn proper BBC syntax.


why is this needed? if everybody had common sense, we would be fine!

9. Bump REALLY old topics. (You know, the ones that when you open up and dust comes out.)
'Topic Too old' was invented for a reasin

What to do on Blockland:
1. Make good humor
So we'll have to be funny to be classified as good players?
5. Know these people: Badspot, Ephailites (did I spell that right?), Rotondo, Camera, Heedicalking, Tezuni, etc. (You can suggest more.)
So, I was an idiot when I was new here. Wow.
Oh, and one more thing; if you don't know how to spell Ephialtes, then why do you write
1. Not using good gramar. (You have all the time to type, nobody will know how slow you type.)
this?

So we'll have to be funny to be classified as good players? Edited that.
So, I was an idiot when I was new here. Wow. Just saying you should know them.
Oh, and one more thing; if you don't know how to spell Ephialtes Fixed., then why do you write
this? Too lazy to check his name, don't blame me.
Happy now?

Where did that come from? Double post wasn't me. Also, fixing typos.
