ET CETERA RULES!
DIR By: konoha
Date: March 21, 2018, 10:09 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
(The rules for Et Cetera are basically the same as the General
Rules but for the sake of convenience I will repost them here
with any addendums made in red.)
We ask for everyone to show respect toward other members, to
this community, and to try their best to get along. The rules
are drafted to best reflect this. Most of these rules are common
sense and just ask you to show a basic level of decency. These
rules apply across all of Just Be Nice and Have Fun (JBNAHF).
1. Respect your fellow members - This includes no attempts to
insult, deride or provoke other members. This is a forum
dedicated to good vibes, after all. Flaming and baiting are big
no-nos as well as causing drama so please just keep it civil and
if you take issue with any user either send them a DM or bring
it to the attention of a Moderator. In any debates or
discussion, respect is equally important; remember that the goal
is not to be right, but to reach a better understanding of the
subject and each other.
2. Follow Topic Intention - Within Reason Each section has its
own set of rules and etiquette (for example some allow spam,
some do not); please respect them and read the rules before you
post! Don't turn a topic into something it's not unless the
author states that they do not mind if the thread derails. We
will keep a very casual mindset about the Et Cetera section
unless this becomes a problem. If so, stricter rules will be
enforced. If the opening post is random/spammy, then it should
follow the topic is random/spammy. If it's casual keep your post
more casual and if the opening post is detailed and serious
please follow suit. The only time you can do this is if the
topic's author or section-staff member says it's okay. Otherwise
just make a new topic. Finally, if a topic-author asks you to
follow certain rules to post in that topic (ie: it's an RPG, a
debate or someone's journal for example), then do stick to them.
3. No Harassment - Harassing another member through PM, IM, or
on the boards. In most cases this may be following an argument.
If you feel you are being harassed and want the member to leave
you alone, then PM them back requesting very explicitly for them
to not contact you any further and block them if possible. If
they proceed to contact you then please contact a member of
staff. If the harassment in nature is violent, sexual or
stalking then please contact us immediately.
4. No Bad Posting Behaviors - Including but not limited to
posting more than six topics in the same section in a one hour
period, (even though this is a spam section please be courteous
and do not flood) speaking excessively in a non-English language
(thusly making it impossible to moderate your post), posting
background music or media without warning, oversized Signatures
over 400 pixels tall (including all text and images), posting a
mass of images in a post without a long post disclaimer and so
on. Only exceptions are if a section-staff member gives you
permission.
5. Work-Safe Content - While we are not PG13, please note that
some people post from work-places/school and colleges and that
not everyone wants to read very crude posts or images. If your
post or posted image goes too far we will send you a polite
reminder to tone it down or potentially remove the post
depending on the severity of it which will be at the moderator's
discretion. Swearing is fine, but show some taste in what you
post and do not post pornography or anything that may get
someone in trouble at work. If you intend to post something NSFW
(not safe for work), please either spoiler tag it or post it in
an 18+ tagged board.
6. Follow Complaints Procedure - If you have a complaint as to
how the board is run, its rules, how they are applied, or about
its staff members please post this privately to a member of our
staff; do not make a topic about it. This process ensures that
any issues/problems are dealt with quickly in as drama-free
manner as possible. Note a complaint is not the same as giving
constructive criticism or suggestions on how to improve and you
are free to post that (General Discussion is the best place to
make a topic) as long as it is respectfully put and does not
cause drama.
