by Now, I'm generally a very care-free, easygoing person, and I even call myself an anarchist as far as politics go, but every good community needs rules, and that includes this one. There aren't too many, but the ones I write here I consider important enough to show you, so please adhere to them so I don't have to smite you.
No Flaming/Harassment
Now, I'm not a fan of hate. So, don't hate on others. It's a common rule you learned from your childhood, "treat others the way you want to be treated". Keep in mind that I have a sense of humour, and playful trolling (loloxymoron) and jabs are fine with me. If someone starts to take serious offense, however, please be smart enough to stop, or they'll come to me. I don't like being angry, so please don't provoke me.
No Discrimination
In other words, don't be a bigot. I'd like to keep this board free of prejudice based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and the like. Intelligent discussion, of course, is allowed, but when it comes down to name calling and other childish tactics, I'll have to step in.
Do Not Argue With Staff
Because it's a very stupid idea. You will not win. If you don't like something a staff member has said or think you or someone else are being treated unfairly, talk to us about it. Chances are we'll be willing to discuss it and come to a mutual agreement, but don't go around back-talking us to the other members. It's a forum, it's not that important. If you have a problem, you can leave.
No Cybering
Do I really have to say this? Probably. No cybering. Anywhere on my board. You'll get booted, no questions asked. (again, trolljokes are a different story, and the difference should be easily seen).
And that about covers it. See, that wasn't so bad, now, was it? If you read through those, I thank you, and if not, I'm assuming you have enough common sense and netiquette to get along just fine.
