Housekeeping rules for forum. Please follow

[weiq]

Biggest mistake new members often make?
Not reading the rules and regulations of the forum.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Search if the topic have already been made before creating a new thread
any duplicate threads (aka 'dupes') will be merge

this is the most common thing i'd seen: nearly 10 threads of the same topic..
which can't be blame
as 'understand you guys are excited to add converstions/discussions

since the search function of the forum does not work well due to
the exceeding high number of threads that have been created
you best solution is using Google search

how?
for example you wanted to check if a thread on/about K-on alrdy existed/created or not

just type k-on

then add

or, like this:




••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••


Do not post any illegal download links
no torrents, or direct download links from file hosters.
as long as it's not officially/legally free, don't.


••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••


Do not post NSFW stuffs
since this whole forum is basically a SFW forum, please do not.
(if linking to a website which contain NSFW stuffs, please kindly give a "NSFW" warning)

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

4. Our forum policy is very straightforward -
ANY topic can be posted/discussed as long as it does not contain
content of a explicit sexual/violent nature or
violate IP/Piracy laws or in general,
upset our users so much that they feel uncomfortable

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••


while i will not a iron-fist moderator (i believe the other mods aren't too),
as long as you observed the rules pointed out and/or do not step over the line
you pretty much have nothing to worry about.

in addition to the above rules/regulation

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••


all members should stay with just one account.


••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••


any member found/reported spamming or trolling
will get a warning and infractions.
depending on the severity,
repeat offenders will be banned.

Additional Note:

If I have to regularly delete your comments because you are spamming / trolling / making unintelligent remarks, it clearly shows that you are not at a sufficiently high enough intellect to be posting at a forum and you will get a BAN.

to clear that thin veil of cloud on what is considered as spams (intentional or unintentional) and undesired posts
i'll list out some of the most common ones

so
what constitudes/defined them?

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••


** Repeated, similar, same, or duplicated posts over a short period of time (which is most common).

• posting the same posts/response/comments on different threads in succession over a few minutes time
  (it's the gold standard for spam)

** Meaningless posts that does not encourage discussion or replies from other members (especially in discussion threads)

• *short posts/response/comments like "up", "yup its true", "awesome!", "me too", "good luck", "cool",
  "oh i see", "passing by", "i know right", "epic" ... etc
• *one word, one short phrase, or emoticon only

special mention
** for the Cosplay and Classified sections, only the thread starter can bump or "up" their own thread


••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

any posts that falls into any one of the category will be deleted or edited
(but usually they will be deleted)



while they seems overly strict,
it's not hard to review/check your own posts
before you click the "post quick Reply" or "Submit reply" button.




* do note that admins and mods will view/decide whether certain posts are spam or not, on a case by case basis
**no, quoting other members' post does not help at all, if your own post still falls under the spam categories.
