Discussion of the New Rules

If you'd like to comment on any of the rules, let us know about something we might have forgotten, correct our spelling, or complain - do it here.

Just be nice about it please - we were trying to make things easier and safer for everyone. The majority of changes were already in place, but they were in sticky notes instead of in the main rules.

Looks a lot more organized. Good stuff. You need a space after NOT ALLOWED in the general rules.

[Mindy]

just suggest for forum discuss ... give some rules and phunisment about user/member use bad words ex: fuck you, stupid or related this for respected other member.
like ban 3 day if repeat again ban 7 day , if repeat again ban permanent, this make other member think and will carefull to use bad words

Give infraction for abusing members, who ever it may be, even the Mods themselves.

The Signatures rules...shouldnt that perhaps also be added in the UserCp/Edit Signature?

[Mr Happy]

I've only read the signature paragraph so far as that's what's mentioned in the post above this. According to the rules the link to a SEO tutorial I wrote on KWWHunction isn't allowed anymore as I don't own KWWHunction.

Could you please sell KWWHunction to me so I don't have to remove the link. My budget is $20. Thanks.

I think you just misinterpreted that rule, Mr Happy. It says you cannot promote sites or services you do not own, a SEO tutorial is neither.

It's promoting KWWHunction (a site I don't own) by linking to a tutorial on it.

I know what promoting and a tutorial is as I got an infraction here before for linking to a tutorial (true story).


I'm not complaining or bothered really I'm just saying it's poorly worded and full of loop holes. You can't even link to some charity like the Red Cross after an earthquake which I remember elj having a while back. You can't link to a twitter account or a Google or Facebook profile of youself.

Well, to be honest.. I have no clue why that rule is added ;/ It's a dumb rule, IMO.
