Rules
By: Shane Date: September 11, 2012, 9:21 am
---------------------------------------------------------
1. This forum is for the planning of any projects of members of
this forum. Members should PM an Administrator if they want to
plan their projects here, or alternatively ask in the Off-topic
subforum.
2. Do not be evil. This includes deliberately sending members
PMs with pictures of things they are afraid of.
3. Do NOT post NSFW stuff. NSFW stuff are things that are not
suitable for work. If you do post NSFW stuff, you will be
punished with a month-long ban.
4. Members should help out where they can.
5. No alt accounts are allowed. Having one will result in a
fortnight-long ban. (That's two weeks.) If you evade a ban using
an alt account, you will be banned for four months.
6. If a glitch allows a member to edit other people's posts,
they are only allowed to edit posts in the boards they moderate.
(See the next post for information regarding one incident). As
of recently, though, it has been fixed; this rule remains in
effect just in case this glitch is made again.
7. You are not allowed to put tip jars in your signature.
8. Have fun! (Yeah, okay, that's just a massive suggestion. :P )
9. As of 24 November 2013, the first three characters in display
names has to be numbers or letters. Almost all symbols are
forbidden as the first three characters in a display name. The
reason for this is because the forums don't allow those
characters when assigning moderatorship to specific boards.
Underscores _ and full stops . are allowed, however.
10. As of November 2013, members are to make their own
introduction threads. That way, they can rename the introduction
threads if they want. (This is technically a massive suggestion
though.)
11. Bait-and-switch prank videos (such as the "rick roll") are
allowed, but if the post is reported by three different members,
the video is removed and the the member given 5 warning points.
12. Making several posts in a row is allowed.
13. Abusing memes is not allowed if they relate to politics,
religion or contain swear words. Members who post such memes
will be given 10 warning points.
14. Discussions about politics and religion in public are banned
from the forums, due to the tendency that they have to cause
flame wars. Using PMs to discuss those are okay, however, but if
things escalate to a flame war and one member is reported, this
rule will be made MUCH more stricter.
15. Regarding redirect boards, you can't ask an admin to create
it and just expect them to do so. Oh no no no no. You will need
at least +25 Reputation if you want one redirect board, +50 Rep
for another, +75 for a third, and so on.
16. You may not have a signature that's bigger than the admin
with the biggest signature.
Any questions should be asked here.
Things not in color are rules that predate 2 September or are
agreed on by the staff.
Things that are in red are added by Taylor.
Things that are in blue are added by KarjamP.
Things in green were added by the real Shane.
Any other rules that are suggested are to be approved of by the
administrators.
In the event that one agrees but the other disagrees, all other
members who can access the Staff HQ board will make their votes.
Global Moderators may edit any post as they see fit. They have
the following rank icon:
HTML http://cdn.smfboards.com/ranks/stargmod.gifhttp://cdn.smfboards.com/ranks/stargmod.gifhttp://cdn.smfboards.com/ranks/stargmod.gif
They may not, however, edit posts in Announcements
HTML http://shanescavestory.createaforum.com/announcements/
unless it
is their own posts.
However, Moderators are not allowed to edit any post as they see
fit. They have standard rank icons in most boards. In boards
they moderate, they have the following rank icon:
HTML http://cdn.smfboards.com/ranks/1staraqua.gifhttp://cdn.smfboards.com/ranks/1staraqua.gif
In boards where Moderators have such an icon, they may edit
posts in that board. In other locations, they are prohibited
from doing so.
Oh, and don't try to edit this post. We will find you, since
admins can always see who edits posts when.
Also, we've a back-up of this thread. Several, in fact. Probably
more than four. We're not certain yet. :P
[hr]
WARNING POINTS:
Warning points to decrease from users every 24 hours: 2
Warning level after user watch is put in place: 25
Warning level after user has all posts moderated: 50
Warning level after users can't post any further: 90
Maximum warning points that can be given to users: 10
If a member reaches 100 warning points, they will be given a
week-long ban.

Due to the forums having a severe glitch where all members can
edit posts, a new rule has come into effect as of today: all
members are only allowed to edit their own posts, and posts in
the boards that they moderate.
MODS:
Dr. Time (Forum RPGs)
Kanpachi (Kanpachi's RPG; The Well)
KarjamP (Forum Games; Fan Fiction; Fan Fic: Dragon Riders)
Kushagra (Slamo's Adventure)
Shane (Shane's RPG; Fan Fic: Dragon Riders)
Taylor (Fan Fic: Dragon Riders)
Wayne (Cave Story Modding Help; SCS Community Mod)
As stated above: administrators can always see who edited what.
So it's impossible to hide.
EDIT:
As of... some time ago, this glitch has been fixed.
I don't know the details, myself, due to another incident. :-\
So you're keeping it for the history?

Um.
Rule number 9: as of 24 November 2013, the first three
characters in display names has to be numbers or letters.
Symbols are forbidden as the first three characters in a display
name. The reason for this is because the forums don't allow
those characters when assigning moderatorship to specific
boards, or when sending PMs to multiple members, etc.
Seriously.
When I tried adding ~ F a t i h ~ as a moderator for this board
HTML http://shanescavestory.createaforum.com/tales-of-farrovena-unexpected-heroes/,<br
/>the forums wouldn't let me. I had to change his display name t
o
"F a t i h" just to be able to do that.
And I couldn't PM Polaris in the month of October, either; the
forums wouldn't allow "¶•¡ær‡§s$SsSSS" in the "To"
box.

What does a tip jar mean?

Um. KarjamP can answer that, or Taylor if she gets back before
the question's answered.

A tip jar is when you put a link asking for donations in your
signature.
You know, like a "Paypal" link or a Bitcoin address.

Shane: I see. Well, does this count for Halloween names too?

---------------------------------------------------------
Yes.
Registration names are okay, but display names not.
Names are allowed to contain underscores and full stops though.
