And God spake all these words (Holy Fuck! Longest thread I ever made!)

Boy, do the threads on the main forum ever suck. How did it get this way? The main forum was the best place on the internet for fun. Now I can barley find a good thread. Has anyone noticed that I havent really been doing anything entertaining? Well theres a good reason for that, My personality runs on good threads. The way it is now, I can barley sustane myself. I beleive the cause of this is in fact, the ToB. Originally there was no Tob. And for a time, it was good. There was an equalibrium, stupid threads were closed, thus did stupid posters become the architechs of their own demise. Also, there were like only six or seven rules. I have found a way to make the rules more Compact.

No advertising about your site or message board, unless you get permission from an administrator
In other words “Thou Shalt Not Spam”

No posting excessively large pics, size or kb-wise. Try to keep it under 350X350 pixels and a few kb otherwise it would take an annoying amount of time to load, being a hassle especially for those with slow modems.
It’s so rare that even if somone does it, nobody will really care. So its outta here.

but if too much senseless posting is done just for sake of posting or to get a higher rank in the posting levels then you will be warned
That will go under the “No Spamming” catagory.

No excessive flaming.
Lets rename this “No Excessive Harasment”

No excessive swearing.
If it becomes so excesive that you can barlet understand what the persons are trying to say. It becomes a “Senseless Post” And if you remember earlier, Sensless posts are Spam.

No hateful insulting of the staff or its affiliates
Everyone at the bored is an Affiliate, so its basically flaming. Thus it goes into the “No Flaming” catagory. Besides, what is flaming if not hatefully insulting somone?

It is not advisable to overly antagonize any other user,
Or overly Harass somone. “No Harassment”

No sexual solicitations. One warning only.
Aka “Sexual Harassment” however there is nothing wrong with a little Double Antandra, and flirting.

No insults on religion, nationalities, sexual orientation etc. You’ll have only one warning.
Thats insulting, more often than not, Hatefull too. So its going in the “No Harassment” Pile. Damn, I only got two piles.

No hack or rom requests.
Spam
there is no stupid question. What is simple for some is hard for others. Be considerate.
Not really a rule. But I think that would fit in the Harasment pile.

Only one account per user.
Theres really no reason to do this except to evade a banning, or execute a spamming. Or perhaps there really is more than on person in a house hold that goes to rpgc? So I dont think this is really necessary.

Forum administrators and forum moderators are solely responsible for rule enforcement on our forums. If you are a visitor, please refrain from yelling at another user for violating a rule. If you are that concerned, please notify a mod or admin. Save your vigilantes for Death Wish sequels.
Nobody listens to this anyway. Gone.

You may select almost any avatar from our list when making your profile. If you wish to use your own custom avatar, upload it through the option in VBulletin (from your menu go to Edit Options and scroll to the bottom). All custom avatars must be under 150x150 pixels and be under 20 kilobytes in either .gif, .jpg or .png format. If the file submitted does not meet the requirements, it will not be edited nor uploaded as it is your job to make sure it meets our standards. There will be generic avatars for anyone who does not wish to make one, if you have any default avatar suggestions e-mail Merlin. Generic avatars can be used by more than one person. Try not to “steal” someone else’s custom avatar, you’ll be required to change it and your avatar will be replaced by the “Avatar of Shame” (a Pokemon avatar :P) until you do so. Thanks!
Most of it isnt really a rule cept the “Thou Shalt Not Steal” thingy.

So now you have

No Spamming
No Harassing
and No Stealing

Now that you have just those 3, You understand that

Spamming = Excessive posting, plugging your site, and no rom requests.

Harassing = Racism, no excessive insultation, and no trying to do somone else.

Oh wait, I forgot

No porn and no gorey pics. These warrant an immediate ban.
That means you Urkani, I dont care if you sent it in a private message, you should still be banned! This one stays as is.

Thou Shalt Not Spam
Thou Shalt Not Harass
Thou Shalt Not Steal
Thou Shalt Not Show Charlemagne Photos of your penis, Urkani!!!

Anyway, as I was saying before I sidetracked to this little project, The ToB throws off the balance of rpgc, Pure Stupidity engulfs the ToB, while Dreary politics are talked about on the main forum. (with the exceptions of Sins exciting shampoo threads, of course) Without the ToB maness will not seize the main forum, because the “No Spammin” Rule exists. Only good things come from the ToB’s downfall! VIVA LA RESISTANCE!!!

In Closing: The ToB Sucks!

<img src=“http://www.rpgclassics.com/staff/tenchimaru/td.gif”> Amen to that. But rule compacting seems a bad idea. Not everyone here is blessed with an IQ capable of actually thinking about rules, so we have to spell it out for them. But yeah, may the ToB burn in the unholy fires of heaven. Or something.

The Rule compactation is fine

Spamming = Excessive posting, plugging your site, and no rom requests.
Harassing = Racism, no excessive insultation, and no trying to do somone else.
Stealing = Avatars, names and the such
No Gory Pics = No Urks penis
says basically everything. Besides, I felt like doing it.

also, theres a color alert system I been working on, that I will reveal tomorrow.

Charle, you are my god. But still, you have to admit that some people need the rules spelled out to them.

I fail to see what’s wrong with Urkani’s penis (/mayyouallwritheinhorror)

If they can’t figure it out, they’ll never be able to figure out our inside jokes and will get bored with the forum in two weeks.

Those people are not welcomed!!! They are perm banned. Before signing up for a membership to the message boards, there should be my list, but it should be in word jumble format, and people will have to answer questions correctly before waiting 5-10 weeks for aproval.

I’ve been saying delete the ToB for weeks now, there’s no reason for it to be there. All it consists of is random bullshit. Hardly any of it is funny or interesting and is therefore not needed. I believe that the only people that will miss it, will be the people that actually have nothing interesting to say and only like posting general crap to get attention.

This is the longest thread you ever made? Hah, pathetic :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

Way to not contribute anything, Ass Hat!

For example : “Look at me, I post emoticon boobies!” or some shit.

Just look at the ToB, there are only two threads that have any consiquence, the Pic posting thread, and my hating Manus thread. The Pic posting thread should have its own mini-forum. with me as moderator!

And of course, the I Hate Manus thread will probably lose it’s entertainment as the ToB people do something stupid to it.

And I don’t look at the Pic-posting thread.

Umm, I have nothing of ‘real’ worth to add, apart from my agreeing on death of the TOB should be nigh

TD, I have been saying it for 2-3 months, but I didn’t think that really consisted of enough to make it sound like alot.

<img src=“http://www.rpgclassics.com/staff/tenchimaru/td.gif”> I’ve been saying it since I got here… I think.

Yeah, I reside in the ToB, but I think that it would be better if it was dead, honestly. I think that most of the threads in there have absolutely no value to them. I’ve known this for a damned long while, but it got even worse when certain people showed up and made it… uh… even LESS fun. -_-

Like your mom?

damn it! cant… derail… own… topic!

The problem with making the rules nonspecific is that people try to play around them because they’re assholes. So we have to make it idiot proof and detailed to have full justification in kicking someone’s idiotic ass.
