Forum Rules

[Adrian Malacoda]

We only have a few rules here:

• Don't be stupid.
• Keep it work safe.
• Don't exploit loopholes. You should know what this means.
• We expect proper English from all members, with the exception of people who show an obvious difficulty in typing the English language. Do not use shortcuts or pointless abbreviations. "Pokémon" is always "Pokémon" ("Pokemon" is acceptable too) - never "pokes", "pkmn", or "pkm", for example. "to" is always "to", "too" is "too", never "2". "You" is "you", never "u". "People" is "people", never "ppl". Capitalize words that are supposed to be capitalized (anything in the beginning of a sentence and the pronoun "I"). "It takes too long to type" is NOT a valid excuse. If you don't want to spend time writing proper posts, do not post at all. Lazy people are always the first to go when the banhammer drops. In addition, please refrain from "net speak"/"AOL speak"/"txt speak". Also, posts consisting entirely of emoticons are not allowed.
  • Moderators are authorized to remind members to use proper English and may edit posts in order to prod users who do not.
  • For those new to English or those who are working to improve their grammar, an informative grammer guide is located here
• Do not make multiple posts in a row in one thread. If there is something you need added to a post please use the "Modify" button instead.
  
  • Creative Movements and its sub-boards are exempt from this.
  • Role Plays is also exempt from this, but please do not do this in excess.
• Do not post in topics that are over 4 months old, unless there is significant reason to do so. TEMPORARY AMENDMENT Since the maintenance has made all topics that were alive at the time it started dead, you are allowed to post in topics where the time gap between the date of the last post in the topic and December 10, 2010 plus the time gap between October 16, 2011 and today does not equal more than 120 days.
  
  Example:
  
  October 23, 2010 - Last post in a topic
  December 10, 2010 -Start of maintenance
  Gap of 48 days
  
  October 16, 2011 Maintenance end
  Novmeber 11, 2011 "Today"
  Gap of 26 days
  
  26+48 = 74 days. 74 < 120  It is fine to post in the topic.
  
  
  • Stickies, by their nature, cannot be "bumped" and thus are exempt from this rule.
  • In general "significant reason" means actual new content relevant to the topic, or recent news concerning said topic. This will be decided on a case-by-case basis by moderators and administrators.
• Do not act rude towards users who make mistakes, particularly new users. See this for an explanation.

That's really it. Use common sense, and you won't get banned. There are some other things you should know:

- We are not recruiting staff for the forums, website, or IRC channel. Do not ask for a staff position.  But if you must, go to profile > group management and request a group there.
- Swearing is allowed. Don't like it? Go somewhere else then. JUST TO CLARIFY: This does NOT mean that users HAVE to swear, or that they are not allowed to censor THEIR OWN posts.

We hope you enjoy your stay at Glitch City Laboratories Forums.
