Rules?

Forum Dweller Posts : 150 Registration date : 2009-08-11

I'd like to point out a few things and say that I seriously think the staff should revise the rules:

-In the rules, no where does it say that bumping a dead topic is not allowed, yet some topics get locked due to that same exact reason. Shouldn't it be explained in the rules what bumping is?

-Distribution of warez, cracks, serials or illegally obtained copyrighted content is not allowed in here, but that isn't included in the rules either.

-Duplicate accounts are obviously not allowed, but again, it doesn't say it in the rules.

-Plagiarism is a definite no-no in this community, am I correct?You can't go stealing someone's artwork and claim it's your own...That's not in the rules.

-Why isn't there any restrictions on signature/avatar size? "Anything not too large/wide" just doesn't sound enough to me.

-It isn't explicitly stated anywhere in the rules that cussing/swearing is not allowed.

-Recreating a locked thread shouldn't be prohibited.

Thanks for reading and I hope you look into it. ;)

4. No inappropriate talking/pictures.
Please
do not show any pictures or talk in topics containing nudity, sexual
content, etc. Those are considered inappropriate and are not welcomed
here at CPP.

I agree on all the others.
Most of them were there in the old rules. :/

Well, yeah. I'm aware of that rule's existence but "No inappropriate talk" can be interpreted into a lot of stuff. It's just too..unclear.

"NO LARGE SIGS"

Lol look at yours. It's huuuugee.

PS: I think you will be banned soon, seeing you're banned on like 50 other accounts like Magnum124, the guy that pretended he was dating someone when it was just the same guy on two accounts....etc? ;D

Whoah, I guess we did miss a lot.

I'll have some other staff take a look at this too.

I agree with you Digital Spire. We are not very specific on our part. It would be much better if the rules were modified a bit.

Thanks for your suggestion. ;)

Good idea! Though most of these are common sense, they are broken a lot.

I don't think it really matters and we haven't had a problem with it before. I think you are the only new user that read the rules.

Which is a miracle, haha. Anyways, I like what youre thinking, even though its not really, really nessecary.

How could we all forget about the rule...BUMPING, EH?

I seen users bump like a year old thread. Seems like bumping exists. I forgot about that. ;p

Haha, good point. I guess I had nothing else to do.
Common sense is not so common, that's why I wanted to point out this stuff.

"6. On-the-Spot Rules.
The staff has the right to make rules on the spot if need be. They do not need to specifically be in these rules. Also, the administrators will be making sure that moderators and other administrators do not make rules that are unfair. If they do, they will be penalized for their actions."

That seems right. Even though it should be included in the rules (I agree with you on most of these and I have brought a few to the staff's attention.), cussing seems to slightly fit this rule. Obviously it isn't allowed whether or not that it is written.

It sort of makes sense but one word would be better.
