1. Cheat controls everything. - Do not impersonate others (with your posts or user profile) - Respect your fellow members, or at least tolerate them publicly. Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated, even if they probably deserve it. Personal attacks come down to whichever Ninja is handling the situation and the context in which it was said.2. You have no rights. - We reserve the right to remove you from the forums for any reason, but probably only if you deserve it. You agreed to this when you created your account. - Ban lengths are not necessarily identical for users who commit the same offense, context and the user involved matter. Nobody cares about your forum title. - Abusing the report feature will result in a ban. Only report things that break the rules, and not just to be a nuisance. - If you disagree with a moderating decision, send a Forum Ninja a private message regarding the situation. Public threads calling out a moderator for their decision will be locked and result in moderation at the minimum.3. Play nice, don't be a jerk. - Use common sense. This is a gaming community's website. Keep your posts on-topic and "safe for work". The further you stray the more you'll tempt a ban. This includes pornographic images and videos. - Graphic Content with discussion value must be posted in serious and tagged appropriately with a spoiler - "Spam" is prohibited. This includes flooding a forum with topics extremely similar to each other, or flooding a post with off topic posts and images. - Absolutely no organizing attacks and raids on B.Net or any other website. - New threads should encourage a discussion among the community; please be mindful of that when you create threads. - Calling out users in a demeaning and harmful manner will not be tolerated - period. Threads doing so will be locked, and the creator will be subject to moderation. - Personal attacks, including in public forums and private messages, will not be taken lightly and are subject to punishment. Joking with sayings like "fgt" are acceptable, as long as it does not become excessive.4. Future Powers- The Moderation Team has the ability to create news rules if they are needed to address problems within the community. Additional rules will be edited into this post to alert everyone.

No one is forcing you to be here, if you don't like them then leave,
Quote from: Septy on October 12, 2014, 04:32:55 AMNo one is forcing you to be here, if you don't like them then leave,You have the ability to put your house on fire, but you don't have to. This isn't the case for pyromaniacs though, because you see, some have an urge so big that they have to do it, even though they know that it's wrong.
How many threads do you make a day?

As long as you don't do stupid shit you should be fine, though you seem to have a lot of trouble with that part.

No? Well maybe you would if you were his apprentice. This is the same case, and so I'm asking you to stop with your constant idiocy
As long as they're applied fairly and actual transparency is promoted, I don't have a problem with these rules.

Quote from: DigitalIZesty on October 12, 2014, 04:53:47 AMYou can't be this simple minded.Room for interpretation is a necessary evil. If a ninja crosses the line, it's up to the community to speak up about it and for Cheat to make the final decision.
You can't be this simple minded.

With no rules to follow, and only guidelines, the ninjas will go into different mind sets. Some will deem some threads to be an offense, whereas others are okay with it. Some will see another thread as okay, while it's an offense in the eyes of someone else.You can't be this simple minded.

Quote from: DigitalIZesty on October 12, 2014, 04:58:14 AMWe do this once. We do this twice. We do this three times. We do this four times, or we alternatively, set down solid rules. The whole process would be unfair, as Cheat might be subjective as well, and thus rules that are good, and objective, would be much more efficient.On the off-chance that you aren't just trolling, why don't you tell me what you think proper objective and good rules would look like?

Mods are humans too, they have their own opinions and personalities. They are going to find some things offensive and others not but if it goes against the rules they are going to correct it. And reality check, rules are guidelines.

Quote from: DigitalIZesty on October 12, 2014, 05:08:47 AMHow about this one? 1. No threads about any other users what so ever, and if it resembles that of another user with two marks, or traits, then it will be removed. An example: "I met this psychologist guy that moderated my intake on apple juice. frack the psychologist mod!" That has many traits that are similar to Mr Psychologist, a mod.So, making a thread titled "I love Zesty" or "So I was playing Halo and ran into ChallengerX" would be a bannable offense?
