02-08-06: After many weeks of being lazy... I have finally become unlazy and have created a seperate board for the rules by extracting all of these via copy/paste and leaving Tiff's FAQs as... well... FAQs! Go figure! ^_^
02-20-06: I can't believe I left out double-posting and spam here! RAWR! DISHONOR!
RULES - PLEASE READ
Do NOT be/act stupid!
Oh yes! Stupidity! We all tend to say things that may sound unintelligent as times… but continuing to do this is just plain annoying and shows how stupid of a person you really are. Creating a post just to ask a simple question about some 30-second thing is just plain idiotic. For example, you see a thread called “Someone’s got a new car” or something random; Then you see a few threads below it, a thread called “I got a new car!” and the starter of the thread right next to it. Doesn’t that give you a hint to who got a new car? These threads probably have like a sentence in it going, “Who got a new car?” Well… someone is probably going to answer it… then the admin or a mod will make a comment about how retarded and pointless that thread is, and lock it. Simple as that. Other types of stupidity is when someone keeps on talking about the same thing over and over again. No one really cares. Stupid posts that go, “OMG! THAT IS TEH FUNNYY!!!11
lolololololololroflroflroflroflroflHAHAHAHAHA!!!111111” is annoying, it stretches the window, and shows how retarded you are. Use your head.
Do NOT Double/Multi-post!
Tiff: Multi-posting is where you post a message, and you right away post something else right after it on the same thread, not letting anyone else reply. You’ll know when you’ve multi-posted, because your posts will be right after another. Do you see that pretty little modify button at the top right hand corner of your post? Click that instead of Multi-posting, and you can add or edit anything you’ve just posted. Nifty, huh?
Netaro: Don't... even... try...
Do NOT SPAM!
Tiff: Spamming is BAD. It’s where you post stupid pointless annoying messages. If you don’t contribute to the thread and multi-post a lot, you are spamming. It makes the whole thread crazy and annoying to read.
Netaro: If I feel like it... I'll suspend you right off the bat. Don't do it.
Do NOT advertise!
Advertising is a no no. You MAY give out a link to another site if someone requests help or in other situations, but flat out advertising is not allowed. Also, links to flash movies and/or other stuff is fine as well. The advertising that is annoying is links to your personal website, a website looking for people to join their cult; your forum, or a forum that desperately needs more people to join. Face it--NO ONE CARES! Don’t make a thread going, “Hey guys! Come check out my website at www.geocities.com/dbzyugieffinOH305720!!111111” [not a real website] because the thread will be locked and stuff. If you really want to advertise, do it in your signature!
Do NOT have animosity!
C’mon guys! Be nice to everyone! Don’t hate and you’ll fit in perfectly. If, however, there is some hatred going around… the admin and the mods will look to it and try to stop the madness. Racism, sexual content, foul language, and/or threatening people/persons will get you a warning. After the first warning… you are banned.
Do NOT cause animosity...
Don't bug other members to about what YOU want them to do. All you'll do is annoy them and make them hate you more. It's HARASSMENT which isn't tolerated here! If they say no, don't bother to try to change their minds because it's rather pointless and it's their decision! If it's happening to you then please report the incident to the mods and admins. The harasser will face his/her/its the mods/admins and consequence.
Do NOT curse, swear, or use bad language!
Please moderate your language! We’re all discussing about this cartoon and do NOT need to cuss our hearts out. You’ve got to understand that there are little kids here. Plus, cussing leads to anger sometimes. There is a language filter on the forum… also, the admin/mods can modify your posts and replace the foul word with a replacement or a comment. Don’t let us do that! Sexual content is strictly out of the question. Just like the swearing-ness, we’ll edit it out, we’ll give you a warning… and if we feel like it… we’ll suspend you because you can’t control what you type.
Do NOT type like an idiot and use proper grammar and spelling!
This fits in with the stupidity rule actually. Let’s all speak like freakin’ humans and not retarded people. If you go, “HAHAHAHA! U R 2 KOOL N FUNNYYYLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!1111” then prepare to get ignored and/or made fun of. It’s basically more of not typing uberly stupid AOL shorthand to replace short words like “ur” instead of “your/you’re” or “2” for “to/too.” You can used AOL shorthand that actually have words in them like “omg” or “brb” those are fine and you won’t sound/look dumb. Typos are fine; people make mistakes. Just don’t be all like, “I wen 2 da mol wit U 2! ROFLROFLROFL!!!11” Just don’t >_<.
Avoid bumping old/dead topics!
Avoid topic bumps. Don't reply to a topic for the sole purpose of bringing it back to the top of the forum index or to add to post count. Unless you have something decent, informative, etcetera to contribute, the topic is dead! If it's a dead topic… it’s a dead topic; go write a song about it. I don’t know.
Do NOT call people ‘newbs’, ‘n3wbs’, ‘n00bs’, etc!
No calling people 'n00bs' or 'n3wbs' or any other critical/derogatory term for a new person. We don’t do that here, ésé. We like new people. ^_^ It’s true! They make the forum better. If you're a new person, please earn this respect which we've given you in advance. If you're a regular, please show the same respect you (hopefully) received when you were new.
Do NOT bookmark threads!
I really don’t know that these threads are called… so let’s just call them bookmark threads. These threads are basically threads promising something to happen in the future… and by that I mean threads that go, “Hey guys! I’m making a fan game… and hopefully I’ll be done by whenever. Hope you’ll like it when it’s done!” That’s all it says! There is no questions, no comments, no point to it but announce to the world that you are “supposedly” going to make something or promise something later… which is pointless and annoying! Why? People comment on it going, “Oh! I can’t wait!” or “That’s cool. Hope to see it soon!” and that’s all! These are out of the question and will be locked. Continue and you’ll get a warning and so on and so forth until you are banned… WAHAHA!
Do NOT make "I Quit" threads!
If for any reason you wish to quit after joining… by all means, go for it. It’s okay if you just don’t have time and/or lost interest in Camp Lazlo. It’s fine. It’s better to have few active members than having a crap load of inactive members. It’s fine if you just don’t delete your account. It’s all common sense. You decide. HOWEVER! If you believe you are not important, hated, whatever--then you are just not mature enough to stay here. Instead of affronting the problem, you just assume everyone dislikes you and wants you out. By all means, do NOT make dumb leaving threads! All they do is create attention and end up being filled with, “OMG! STAY! *cry cry*” NO ONE CARES! If you decide to leave because you think no one cares… then by all means do it! Why? BECAUSE NO ONCE CARES! CRIKEY! GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD!
Do NOT disrespect the administrators or the moderators!
Admin and Moderators are no different than you. We are all people here and we all have feelings and all that sappy stuff. Please show respect to them and you’ll be fine. Do NOT tell us how to do our jobs! That’s a no no and a loss of respect for you, which isn’t cool. Do NOT annoy us to the max that we will rant our heads off to your face as everyone watches and stuff. Just don’t. We’ll respect everyone if they abide to the rules and if they respect us. Also, do NOT act like an administrator or a moderator! By this I mean do not go and make posts constantly warning people about breaking the rules and junkage. It’s cool to help each other out by reminding everyone about the rules, but it isn’t cool acting like a totally jerk and threatening people to abide and all that negativity. Also, if you do want to warn someone to obey… sweet! But please make that post ALSO have relevance to the topic! Alright!
Do NOT post sexual innuendos!
This is pretty funny actually, since there is no real point of actually speaking of such here. We all have to understand that there is always that certain handful of people who are too immature to handle the topic of sex. It’s Camp Lazlo! Blazes!
Topics on religion or politics are allowed… to an extent; Use discretion!
Religious or political topics have a propensity to lead to immature wrangling. If you're new and you don't want to get in trouble, be careful when participating in or starting one. With topics like these, please be polite and do not flame others. You are free to disagree with others, but do so respectfully.
Do NOT beg for stuff!
No begging for stuff like ranks and badges. You’ve got to earn them to show how active you are with the forum and junk. For information on what badges are, check out Badges For Dummies. For opportunities in earning some, check out Badge Central. Keep a look out for random opportunities to earn these little things as well. ^_^
Do NOT abuse private messages!
That’s right! DON’T! This includes harassing people over PMs, spamming, and perhaps breaking their inbox with large files.
Under Construction... like... to the MAX, esé.
