Site Rules
Admin on Sat Jul 05, 2008 2:21 pm
Everywhere you go there are rules. This forum is no exception. Please read the rules carefully to avoid punishement and make these forums enjoyable for all.
-------------------------------------------
Spamming
- Please DO NOT SPAM ever. It's the golden rule. Topics and posts containing complete nonsense will be deleted, or the entire thread locked at the admin/mod's discretion.
- Avoid Pointless One-Liner Posts. If a one-liner is the only type of post that suits what yo wish to say then post it. Be Warned!: One-liners can and will be deleted at administrater's or moderater's descresion.
- Avoid Off-Topic (OT) posts. Do not disgress. If you want to post one include [OT] before the sentence and be sure to comment on the main topic. But it would be best to avoid them since it also makes replying hard. A thread full of [OT] can be closed by any admin/mod at their discretion.
- Admin/mods may change the title of thread if they found the title inappropriate without consent of poster.
- Threads that are strikingly similar or has the exact topic as other threads (especially in sticky threads) will be locked.
- Make Sure You Post in the Right Forum. Before you start a new thread, make sure that the topic of your thread is best fitting in the forum you are posting to. Threads that have nothing to do with Warcraft III Custom Maps will be locked and the situation will be revised by Admin and Mods.
- PM Admin or a moderator if you don't understand why a thread was locked or would like to make a case for it being unlocked.
- Do not make a thread solely for the purpose of referring to a thread that has been locked. These threads will be deleted and the poster will be given a warning. Repeat offences will result in temporary ban.
- Please don't spam up the forums. If you are continuously spamming, all your posts that are considered spam can and will be deleted and you will recieve a permanent ban.
Post Pumping
- If a post is suspected to have no other purpose than to increase the post count of the poster, then any admin/mod may, at their discretion, delete the post(s). Well, it doesn't really decrease you post count if an admin or mod deletes it but if you continuously violate this rule then be prepared to recieve appropriate punishment.
- The number of your posts does not measure your 'rank' here, don't act like you're superior than other members just because you have high post count. Remember that we are all equal.
- Do not double post intentionally either. If you want to add things to what you have posted, Just edit your previous post. If you do double post, then Admin or a Mod can add the content of the posts successive to your first to the first post you made in the double posting.
Courtesy
- Please respect all of the members of this site and their opinions, If anyone made a mistake in their posts or strategies please tell them in a polite manner. Also, this site was not made for people to brag about anything, we're all here to help each other out. We don't care how good you are, if you're just here to boast, then you might want to rethink of posting in this site.
- Swearing should be avoided. If you do decide to swear, then keep it to a minimal. Any post or thread that contains excessive amounts of swearing may be locked and edited by an Admin/Mod. Repeated Excessive Swearig will result in a lengthy or permanent ban.
Flaming
- Insulting, cursing, threatening, harassing or anything that might offend other members is STRICTLY prohibited. Post containing personal attack on another person can and will be edited or deleted by any admin/mod with no warning or consent.
- If a member is flaming other via PM's, he or she Will get a warning. If it continues, well it just goes down hill from there. If anyone is caught flaming they will be warned, and then action will be taken. Everyone knows what flaming is, don't play stupid just to get out of something.
- PM Admin of a Mod if abuse occurs. Explain in detail to him/her what the problem is, and we will be more then happy to settle it as peacefully as we can. Don't use the 'Report Abuse' Button at the bottom of the page as I am not sure who it sends the report to.
- Trolling will be met with instant and probably permanent ban. This has a working definition of "attempting to be as annoying as possible while still technically obeying the rules," and it's not the way to go about getting attention. Attempting to derail threads, posting off-topic crap, or flame-baiting are all strictly verboten. There also tends to be a thin line between being abusive and immature and being argumentative. Crossing it persistently will lead to a ban. This kind of behavior leads to Flame Wars.
- We will be VERY strict in regards with flaming.
Advertising
- Advertising Products and/or services on this site is prohibited and will result in temporary ban.
Hamachi
- Advertising Hamachi is prohibited on this site and will result in temporary ban.
Images
- Only post pictures when absolutely necessary, and when they are directly relevant to the topic discussion. If the image you are posting is large in size (either pixel size, file size, or both), then please post a link to the picture instead of posting the picture itself. Remember that not everybody has broadband connection, and may have to wait some time for images to load.
- No objectionable or indecent materials, please. Especially NSFW or not safe for work images. And show some sensitivity. Keep your views on religion, politics, other members, and other potentially volatile topics out of your sigs and avatars.
Everything that applies to posts applies to avatars and signitures.
- Signatures may contain images but make sure they're not too large and will not affect the layout of the forums.
- The size limit of signatures is is:
150kb and 450x175 pixels and a maximum of 3 lines of text.
Suggestions
- Think before you post. Save yourself trouble and ourselves time. If you find yourself questioning the nature of what you’re going to post, then it’s probably not safe to post it.
- Respect everyone. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion regardless of age, gender and race.
- Have Thick Skin. Don't be offended if someone disagrees with you. If you think their attitude has problems, PM a mod.
- Lurk and Learn. There's no better way to get a feel for the forums and what is and is not accepted here than to lurk for awhile. Hang around, read some threads, get some firsthand knowledge of how things work here.
- USE THE SEARCH TOOL. It is very useful if you are unsure of whether or not the topic of the thread you are about to post has already been posted.
-Please make good use of the edit button. This prevents unwanted double posting.
- Read the sticky thread at the top of each forum, they are there for a reason, and generally contain information relevant to the forum that they are in. Sometimes there may not be a sticky thread, in which case Pm and Admin or Mod and we'll get right on it.
Note: If the need arises, we may have to use a user's thread to make a sticky thread; in which case we will change the title to "(Title of Sticky) + (Title of Original Thread)" and posts that would have been found in the Sticky thread will be placed in the user thread.
- Tell Us What You Think. When creating a new post, state your own opinion. We frequently get posts that do nothing but ask, "What do you think of <topic>?" We would much prefer that you state your own opinion as well as asking for ours; it's more equitable, and gives us a starting point for the discussion. If you don't have enough information to form an opinion, by all means find some before posting.
- When creating a new post, use an informative subject line / title.DO NOT make titles like "Help Please" or "Cool Stuff, Look!"; because no-one knows what your talking about. Please be specific about what you want to talk about; if you don't, you likely won't get many people participating in your thread. The title can be changed at an Admin's or Mod's Descresion.
- Don't quote the entire message that you're responding to. It's extremely annoying to see another persons's 20 line post quoted in entirety with only the comment, "I agree," or something similar added by the quoter at the end. When using the quote button to reply to posts, delete the text that is not relevant to the comments that you are going to make. You can edit the text in the "Original Post to Quote" box.
- If you have a post or thread that doesn't related specifically to any map but still relates to custom maps or the, then post in "Etcetera". An admin or mod will decide where it should be put if they think it does relate to a map.
- If you find it easier to express yourself any language other than English, you may do so, just put either the English translation in [] or ().
- Have fun! Enjoy the boards! We're not that strict really, all we ask is for everyone to cooperate. Let's make this board an enjoyabe forum for all to participate in.
