Recently the staff here have been updating the Rules of Conduct for the forum. This is what we have come up with:

Rules:


Signatues: These should be nothing more than a small image and few lines of text. Once signatures start getting larger than 3-5 lines of text in size(approximately 450*100 pixels), it distracts from the actual post. The purpose of a forum is to read what other people have to say, not to look at the "pretty pictures" in their signature. The filesize of signature should also not exceed 512Kb.

Images: When posting images in the forum, try to keep their size below 1024*768 pixels. This is to avoid screen streching, as well as loading several large images each time you try to read a thread. Use thumbnails or links if possible.

Swearing: We will not be censoring any "bad words" here. But please still keep it within reason, and use the Hot Topics forum for anything too intense.

Moderators: Respect the decisions of the moderators, they hold that position for good reason. If you have any serious complaints, contact Crimson or Blazer privately. Do not start a public bash-fest against a moderator you don't agree with.
Also keep in mind that you are not a moderator. You do not decide when threads are locked, posts are deleted, etc., and therefore should not post as such in threads. The "Report Message" and Private Message features are there for a reason.

Harassment/Racism: Harassment of other members, racism, or any hate speech in general will no be tolerated. Moderators will be the judge of what is intolerable, and what is not.

Spelling/Grammar: This is a gaming forum, not literature. Keep the urge to correct to yourself. If it pains you so much to see someone misspell a word, miss a comma, etc., give them lessons in private because we don't want to see it on the forums. However, we would appreciate it if everyone's post was at least legible.

Flooding/Spam: Posting IS throttled here, there is a varible second wait period between each post. Spam threads/post will be moved to the Silo. Creating duplicate threads in the same or different forums, and the spamming of useless images or image macros in threads will not be acceptable.

Warez: This is a warez-free forum, and supports legitimate ownership of all games, software, music, movies, etc. Do not come here looking for CD/DVD images, serials, or any other form of warez.

Cheats/Hacks: This community fully supports RenGuard along with other anti-cheat solutions. With that said, the posting or advertising of cheats will not be tolerated in any way imaginable.

Explicit Content: This is a free public forum, therefore please use discretion when posting images or links. Nudity, extreme gore/violence, or other content of this nature is not permitted.

General Complaints/Problems: If you happen to have a problem with a member of these forums, or with how these forums are managed, feel free to contact any member of the administration and we will work to solve it as quickly and efficiently as possible.



Being that these rules will directly effect you, we feel that the community should have some say in the final product. When posting feedback, please remember to be constructive and use common sense. All reasonable suggestions will be discussed by the administration in private, and the rules will be altered accordingly. When everything is satisfactory, the end result will be stickied and take immediate effect.

Looks good except the signature thing looks too small to me. And you have a typo under the racism rule. Should be "not" instead of "no".

Ignore spelling mistakes, it's still just a draft.

I don't see why you would want the signatures to be allowed to be bigger. My image is slightly bigger than the suggested maximum, and I don't see the need for anybody to have one larger than mine.

Quite a few people here don't "full support renguard along with other anti-cheat solutions". I don't think its proper to make those kinds of judgements on behalf of a sites users.

I think before the final version is put in place that line should be reworked or removed.

*EDIT*

I propose this as something you may want to use:

About siggies: TK2 operates a policy of a total maximum space of 450*300 pixels can be allowed and it doesn't matter what you put in it (images, text or whatever). It gives a good limit.

You can have e.g.

2 images of 450*150 without any text

or 10 lines of text (more or less) without any images

or ...

All in all good to read that you guys are doing this.

I gotta tell you I'm totally against the signature restrictions. :/ I hate signature restrictions. Long ago on here I had

http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1269949934

As a signature and darn near everyone attacked and made me get rid of it because it was so horribly detrimental to the forum. For a long time following that I used

http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1112541042

because I felt that the forums had become a prison. There has been a new revival however of personal signature freedoms and we have prospered for quite some time now. Please do not regress the forums to darker days!

Reference: http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&goto=9087&rid=98#msg_9087

Also some PMs that I can't find.

I know forums where siggies are one bloody screen long and the messages are one line long. It is BLOODY annoying.

It will be discussed, and likely changed to "forum" instead of "community."
