| Post subject: | The Rules (revised with the new forum, please read fully) |
Introduction While we prefer to take a relaxed attitude here at Techious, we would like to maintain order and these are the rules that should be followed in every single forum of this board, unless explicitly written otherwise. The rules will be enforced using a system of warnings and temporary bans (or permanent if you break too many rules). Warnings and bans can be handed out by all Moderators and the Admin. All users are subject to warnings and bans, except the Admin (me), who cannot be banned due to security reasons (the board cannot be without an admin), however, the admin will abide by his own rules. I would like there to be no reason for these, and hope there is, however, they must be written. Reporting If you see a post that offends any of the following rules, please you the report button (little exclamation mark at the bottom right of every post) to report this for it to be further dealt with by a mod. With your report please include the text you get from pressing the "quote" button in the further information box. This means the post's content is preserved as is at the time of the report. The report is then sent to the moderators for appropriate processing. Side note to moderators; you can see 2 exclamation marks, the first one is the report button, the second one is the warn button. If you are certain that the post is breaking a rule, use the warn button and instantly deal with it, including all appropriate material in the warning information, including post data. however, if you are unsure, press the report button to have me look it over. Warnings The warnings will work on an exponential system, meaning that the first offence of a particular kind results in x amount of warnings (detailed below) and repeat offences will result in the amount of warnings being given getting doubled each time. For example, if you spam (first warning is one warning) 3 times you will get 1+2+4=7 warnings in total. If you spam again you will get another 8 warnings, bringing your total to 15 (plus more for other offences). A warning will not expire. Bans Bans are issued based on the number of warnings you have received. You serve a ban once for each number of warnings detailed below. If you receive enough warnings to trigger multiple bans, you will receive the longest ban appropriate for that range. Repeat offences of a certain type my result in a reduced ban but with other consequences. For example, if you repeatedly spam, you may be put on the moderator queue, which means you will have to wait a for a a moderator to approve your post before it can be read by all users. The below format is; Amount of warnings (comma [,] separates different values) - Ban time 2 - 1 hour 5, 15, 35, 45, 55, 65, 85, 95, 105, 115, 135, 145, 155, 165, 185, 195 -6 hours 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 70, 80, 90, 110, 120, 130, 140, 160, 170, 180, 190 -1 day 25, 75, 125, 175 -1 week (7 days) 50, 150 -2 weeks 100 -1 month 200 -Permanent Offences Offences are written in the format; Offence - Original number of warnings - Notes Spam - 1 - Spam can be defined as any post that serves no relevance to the forum or topic (though drifting off topic does not count in this). Posting lots of website links is spam, unless done in the pimping forum (unless the website is appropriate to the topic or you are using the website for reference in the post [such as linking a specific Inquirer article). Posting lots of replies with little or no content, or posting the same content repeatedly (double posting is alright, as people make mistakes) class as spam. If you are caught mass spamming you will be banned immediately for 1 hour, but still receive the warnings. Swearing - 1 - Excessive or extreme swearing will result in a warning. Minor or irregular swearing is permitted, just don't take it too far. This is at the moderators' discretion. Insults - 2 - Insulting other members is a serious offence on these forums as we like to keep a friendly atmosphere on this board. Whether something is an insult or not is at the moderators' discretion. Warez - 2 - Posting warez links or requesting illegal material is not allowed on this forum. Torrents are not classed as this, as long as they are for legitimate content, such as Linux. Pictures of certain natures - 2 - Pornographic, disgusting or insulting pictures are against the rules of this forum. This includes shock sites and linking to such images. Racism/fascism etc. - 2 - Anything derogatory said about any race, sex or creed comes under this. Flaming - 2 - Flaming is essentially a very severe argument, often targeted at an individual or group of users for what they have said. Remember, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Duplicate Accounts - Instant permanent ban - Any duplicate accounts will be instantly banned forever. The original account will be left intact. 1 account each. - - Any suggestions on how to approve these rules are greatly appreciated. The rules are subject to change at any time, changes will be noted by another post in this thread detailing them and appropriate amendments to the original post. Thank you for your co-operation! |

LOL, it is a fresh start, can't add retrospective penaltie on people who posted when these rules didn't exists. Anyway, you do have a purpose, Aaron, posting tech stuff and just being wierd (that isn't against the rules). |

Species, where is this typo, I can't see it? Yeah, aaron was on thin ice cos he was posting some... pictures... on the old forum. He starts a fresh on this new forum, but if he had done what he did on the old forum here he would have already been banned for a day. Anyway, I think we should let that pass, as the rules weren't too clear on the old forum. |

The spelling mistake was in the red writing at the bottom, and it has been purged. |

What about signature size? |
|
| Author: | Skillers [ Wed Mar 28, 2007 3:20 pm ] |
| Post subject: | Re: The Rules (revised with the new forum, please read fully |
Signature images are locked by the forum software to a specific size, I believe, which is detailed Here. I'm not sure whether it can limit the text. |

And would simply result in The Admin moving the database. Anywho I'm not sure Aaron cares what happens whatever he does cos when he got banned, apparently he was goin on about 'I got banned, woot!' Still, breaking the rules gives me an excuse to be TOTALITARIAN!!!! However, I'm trying not to be too harsh on 'playful' insults. As long as I see them when I'm in the 'right' mood.
