Stupidity will no longer be an acceptable excuse - I don't care if you joined 2 sec. ago

You know what? I'm fed up with trying to be a "good mod/admin" and letting people get away with a warning because "I didn't read the rules."

There's a lot of things that are going to change around here... too much to list, but I'll try to enlighten those of you who don't already know what I'm referring to.

1. Filter dodging. You ALL do it, and don't even think about denying it. Recently, I've been trying to edit your posts. But that's not how things will be done from now on... remember when the forum was first added? Read this topic.

Because I don't expect most of you to even touch that link, I'll go ahead and qoute TMyApp below:
[quote

ost_uid0="TMyApp"]
and... i tell you what else i'm going to do.. since everyone was so #### nice to take advantage of the "free speech up to a point" policy, i will also ban without question ANYONE who tries to bypass the filter with creative use of letters, numbers and other ascii characters[/quote]

How much of that have you seen?? None. And that's exactly what's going to change. If I catch you bypassing the filter with ANY words (be it so much as 1 "$hit"), you will get your entire post deleted, regaurless of what it says. Keep doing it and you'll get a 1 way ticket to being banned.

The ONLY reason you will be allowed to bypass filters is for spelling out other members names (ex: KidKrazy$hit instead of KidKrazypoop).

2. Multiple topics that say the exact same thing.

- We should have a 3 vs. 3 player mode.
- Character X vs. Character Y (or any other of these character vote/poll topics).
- My opponent keeps teleporting and they're cheating.

You know everyone hates this. Why do people keep doing it? Why do they only get locked? Are they going to start being deleted on sight in the future? (take a wild guess at what the answer to the last question is :biggrin: ).

3. Flaming senselessly.

You all KNOW I hate this. Especially when your post is NOTHING but flames. The last thing we need is a forum full of Luna wannabe's. I see anyone doing this on a consistent basis... banned.

4. Racism.

Why should I even have to bring this up? It's like the golden rule of the forum. Even if you're not bypassing the filters with your "#####" talk, your still going to get banned for making racist comments.

5. Hentai/manga/porn discussion topics.

Again, like racism, why should you even be told? I see you create even 1 topic about porn/hentai discussion, and you are banned on site (as well as ANYONE who tries to discuss it with you). This is not a porn forum... experience your for the first time somewhere else.

6. Acting stupid in general.

This can be classified as spamming, creating repeat topics like crazy, running around and posting unrelated bs. on just about every single topic, just trying to act like you know something when your comments lack any kind of substance in a debate, or anything else that can be classifed as bringing idioticy to this forum.

I will not tolerate this nonesense any longer. For those of you whom the above new "rules" apply, clean up your posts or else clean out your affiliation with this forum.

You all have until relatively 12-4pm tommorow to clean out any posts you don't want deleted and lock your topics before I get to them.
