Just curious to see how many of you know the rules.

I don't remember, I guess that means I haven't read it very much.

Never.
I've only ever gotten 1 infraction, so obviously I don't need to.

We have a ToS?

The ToS here is pretty much the ToS everywhere... less strict I would believe than most though. They all basically cover the "don't be a douche bag" standard.

Common sense > knowledge of the rules

Unfortunately, I seem to lack both of them.

Probably option 2 by now, but maybe as low as option 1. I've read it at least twice.

Never. And I plan to keep it that way.

If you don't get my signature by the way, those are all permanently banned accounts on this forum.

You need a "Over 9000 times" option :p

Whaaaat happened to BeSt? Really pisses me off when someone is banned out of the blue and no one tells me what the fucks up :(.

Also, ironic.

Maybe he got banned for discussing his other banned accounts in the forums. Which is kinda funny.

I'm jealous. :(

I have not read it. I don't do much around here to warrant the attention of the mods though.

There are 8 rules of forumfall:

1st RULE: You do not talk about FIGHT CLUB.

2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about FIGHT CLUB.

3rd RULE: If someone says "stop" or goes limp, taps out the fight is over.

4th RULE: Only two guys to a fight.

5th RULE: One fight at a time.

6th RULE: No shirts, no shoes.

7th RULE: Fights will go on as long as they have to.

8th RULE: If this is your first night at FIGHT CLUB, you HAVE to fight.

I just read them right now for the first time in a couple years. I was gonna be all clever and break every rule in a single post here, but then I decided I'd rather not get any more infractions for the time being.

Why would you want to read the ToS? Know the basic rules, and you're good.

I don't need the ToS.
I learn by being infracted.

Am I seriously the only person who has viewed the ToS on more than 10 occasions? I've referred to it rather often.

I follow the same strategy. So far I've learned that pron, even if it's pron made of cake is bad to post, as are +1s.

You posted cake pr0n? I said the N-word while referencing "To Kill A Mockingbird"

I have probably read it in its entirety once or twice, but that is mainly due to referencing different sections of it when I was a mod... But then again I may have never actually read it through in a single go as well... I actually cannot remember...

ToS are for nerds and batty boys

Say what you want, use common sense and good judgement to figure out if its right or wrong to say

of you dont know then you need to delete your post and gtfo to Hello Kitty

I have like 3 spam infractions and one for calling someone a ***.

Common sense tends to work as a good replacement for reading the TOS.

Infractions are the war wounds of Forumfall

I got one once but its worn off now

ok not warwounds, more like Chinese wristburns.
Infractions mean your pushing the limits of Forumfall

in Xinnoro case possibly bumming the limits..

You got one for calling someone a ***? There must of been something else in it, our mods aren't yet that bad. Or were you in GD?

the mods interpret the Tos In a way to make it seem like you've broken the rules even when you haven't, so as far as I’m concerned you just have to make sure you don’t annoy a mod with your comments.

I put on a black robe and walk around town quoting it at night and interject each line with "The world will end...soon(TM)".

is this thread due to a rash of warns and infracts based on an totally ambiguous and unmonitored paragraph giving mods the ability to discipline people without cause? 'cause its in there.

I know that the ToS doesnt allow you to encorage rape.

Axelator
08-18-2008, 06:32 PM
you cant make jokes about having sex with babies against barb wire fences either. Apparantly that's in the TOS somewhere.

And I have only received 1 warning. :rolleyes:

Salaman
08-18-2008, 06:40 PM
Maybe I read it once, I don't know. Pretty much every ToS has the catch-all discretionary clause that allows moderators to make up rules as they go so I pretty much just lurk for awhile and pick up on the tone of any given forum to avoid infractions.

Slaker
