LIKE A MODERATOR

The Prime Directives are rules which override the other rules in most cases. They are subject to change as necessary.


1. Elitist bastards and elitist bastardly behavior will not be tolerated. This kind of behavior may include the following:

* Refusing to learn the distinction between "newb" and "n00b", or knowing the distinction and choosing to ignore it.

* Stating or implying that they are a superior as a person for some arbitrary reason (such as sex, gender, sexual preference, race, ethnicity, religion, culture, nationality, skill, health, wealth, handicap, post count, etc.) or trying to convince others that all [sentient?] life is not equal.

* Other actions at the discretion of a moderator.

If you feel you've been the victim of an elitist bastard or of elitist bastardly behavior, report them!

2. If you see anyone (including staff) violating the rules, report them!


How Moderation Works:


1. On the lowest tier, perceived rule violations can be reported by anyone. This is the preferred method of moderation as the moderators are not omniscient. You are not guaranteed that the person you report will be warned or reprimanded in any way, and no one is obligated to inform you about the end results of your report.

2. If a local moderator catches you violating a rule, they can warn you. Appeals should be directed to a global moderator. (Gmod)

3. If a global moderator catches you violating a rule, they can warn you. Appeals should be directed to an administrator. (Admin)

4. If an administrator catches you violating a rule, they can warn you. Appeals should be directed to the head administrator. (Llaandr)


The Rest of the Rules:


1. No posting with intent to offend.

This includes but is not limited to posting or posting links to:

* Insults

* Flaming

* Trolling

* Profanity

* Obscenity

* Pornography

* Threats

* Defamation

* Hate-speech

* Libelous language

* Descriptions of sexual acts or organs



2. No disruptive thread-making or posting.

This includes but is not limited to:

* Spamming, which may include some or all of the following:

* Necroposting (situations vary)

* Bumping (situations vary)

* Multi-posting

* Flooding

* Purposely or uncaringly posting threads in the wrong forum

* Off-topic posts

* Scams and sales

* Advertising outside of designated areas and/or advertising inappropriate materials.

* Not announcing that some or all of the post or thread contains spoilers

* Posts that distort the page

* Posting insanely large images or ASCII art (unless explicitly called for)

* Impersonation

* Harassment, Stalking, & Privacy Violations

* Inciting or attempting to incite panic

* Posting solely for the purpose of post-counting

* Posting intentionally difficult or indecipherable messages. (1337-speak, AlTeRnAtInG cApS, extreme lamer-speak, etc. unless explicitly called for)

* Accessing or attempting to access a user account not belonging to you.

* Utilizing forum bugs/exploits/robots

* Attempting to piss off the gorilla.

* Site/Board Wars. (Generally breaking these is a one-way trip to an IP ban!)

This includes but is not limited to:

o DDoS Attacks

o Breaking the rules on any site/board in the name of another site/board. (which generally includes the below)

o Instigating, participating, announcing, inciting, or retaliating to any "Site War" anywhere.




3. No posting illegal materials.

This includes but is not limited to posting or posting links to:

* ROMs

* Warez

* Cracks

* No-CD Patches

* CD Keys

* Mod chips

* Other copyrighted materials

* Unauthorized reprinting from other websites

* Online Game or MMOG Cheats



4. No censor bypassing. (If you don't know what this is, then you probably aren't doing it.)

Keep in mind:

Necro posting will only be allowed to the creator of the thread.
Bumping will require a 72 hour difference between posts.
This can be void if there is an important reason for it, such as an important update.
Posted ImageIntelligence is not to make no mistakes, but quickly to see how to make them good.
