New Rules for MMB [Archive] - ForumsHQ

[Aragon]

Effective January 04,2003



MMB is an online forum community open to everyone and as such, there are rules participants of MMB need to follow in order to minimize actions that are offensive towards others. The following are the rules and are by no means complete.



1. No spamming

Nobody likes spammers. What constitutes as spam is up to MMB Administrators & Moderators.



2. No flaming or inconsiderate rudeness

This will not be tolerated. Many users have problems differentiating between trash talk while in MajorMud and being considerate of other users when posting on a forum. Furthermore, many people seem to suffer from I-am-God Syndrome. You are not God and you are definitely not better than everyone. If you are having problems realizing that, we will be glad to ban you until you figure it out.

Any post that contains a personal insult towards any member will be deleted.

Any post that is deemed as non-constructive may be deleted if need be.

Mods will decide what is and is not constructive.

Complaining to mods about a deleted a post will result in a 1 week ban and we are not obligated to respond to you. Repeat offenders will be given a harsher penalty.



3. Keep profanity to a minimum

This is a hard one to judge. Use common sense or I will change this rule to "No profanity what-so-ever." If it's ok for TV, then it's probably OK to post on here. I'm not talking about HBO either...



4. Signatures may not be overly large or contain inappropriate material

What constitutes as "overly large" or "inappropriate material" is up to the judgements of MMB Administrators & Moderators. If an Administrator or Moderator thinks that a particular signature is in violation of this rule, he/she may contact the user and request a change or the Moderator/Administrator may simply remove the signature. Some good guidelines to follow are:

- Keep signature size under 20k in size

- Keep signature height under 150 pixels, or about 6-8 lines of normal 12 font text.

- Keep signature in accordance with rules 1,2, and 3



5. No illegal content

This is not a warez forum. Do not request, discuss, or inquire about information pertaining to illegal content. That is no talk or links about serial numbers, product keys, cracks, hacks, keygens, or any method of bypassing software securities. A simple google search will usually provide you good results if this is what you desire.



Enforcing and interpretation of rules are for MMB Administrators & Moderators. Administrators & Moderators have final say in any situation. Users in violation of rules are subject to consequences to be decided upon by MMB Administrators & Moderators. Administrators & Moderators are not obligated to give warnings or second chances.
