Site Rules

For those below wondering about these rules, this is a section of my old clan's (We're still together just highly inactive) ruleset which my Leader Zzch had devised and I wrote out, JCMercenary also help to correct some mistakes and add a large portion to it to make it more detailed.

(1) - Site rules

(1A)~Respect
- all members of SBC are to be treated as equals on the forums, and you
are not to belittle or disrespect them for their opinions.

(1B)~Religious beliefs - You will respect others
despite their religious beliefs, whether they are Satanist, Christian,
or Atheist, they will be treated equally, or you will receive a penalty
and possibly an immediate ban.

(1C)~Sexuality
- If a poster on the forums is a homosexual, bisexual, etc., you will
not treat them differently and any homophobic behavior will not be
tolerated.

(1D)~Opinions - All
posters are entitled to their opinions, as long as the opinions do not
break any rules of the forum. You are to respect another poster's
political opinion, for example, and that poster is to respect the
opinion of the next poster, not discriminating against them in any way.

(1E)~Flaming - Flaming is not tolerated on these
forums. Any topic that turns into a flame war will be immediately
locked, and all involved will receive penalty.
Flaming includes deliberately insulting another's opinion to make them angry at you,
provoking flaming.

(1F)~Language - As
most of us play games that do use vulgar
language, we might use it
ourselves from time to time, such as here on
the forums, but please,
use it moderately and responsibly.

(1G)~Directly
Vulgar Language - Swearing shouldn't be used on the forums, although it will
be tolerated when
used in expressing disappointment, sadness, etc.,
but it is not to be used against other posters.
You may also notice
that most vulgar words have been wordfiltered.

(1H)~Sexually Suggestive Language -. Posting graphic sexual stories is NOT allowed
anywhere in these forums. Any offensive language toward other posters
involving sexual language will involve a penalty or ban.

(1I)~Leet Speak and text message language - Please
refrain from typing in "leet-speak" or posting in a manner that
resembles that of text messages.

Example: d00d did u s33 dat
hackr in dat g4m3 w3 wer3 1n? dat wz cr4zy!11

(2) - Post location and structure

(2A)~Double Posting - Posters shouldn't double
post, as it's just
pointless. In the top right corner of your post,
instead, click the
edit button to add information you forgot. No
strike can be issued, but
it is frowned upon and your posts will be
merged.

(2B)~Rapid Posting - If a
Moderator or Administrator sees that you
have several (usually 6 )
posts submitted within a few minutes of each
other, the Mod/Admin has
the right to delete one or more of these posts
if they're deemed
useless to the thread itself.

(2C)~Making
Multiple Threads - If a topic is already covered in another thread, do
not make another thread discussing the same thing.

(2D)~Posting in the Correct Section - Please, when
posting, remember that we have
specific sections for posting in. You
shouldn't just post every time in
the Discussion section, for
example, and make a Moderator/Admin move it
for you. This gets on
their nerves and is a very tedious thing to do.

(2E)~Spamming - Spamming is not allowed anywhere
but in the SPAM section.

I.E. : Poster 1: Check out this new
Assassin's Creed 2 video.
Poster 2: k.
Poster 3: lol
Poster 4:
(Analysis of what they thought of the video and their opinions)

Posters
1 and 4 would be the only ones displaying proper posting behavior.

(3) - Adult Content

(3A)~Pornography/nudity
- Posting full nudity or pictures of sexual intercourse is not
tolerated on the forums. "Partial nudity" (somebody in a swimsuit) such
as a picture of yourself or a friend at the beach are allowed. The most
you'll get is a big "eww" from Badzzch.

You will receive an
instant ban of a varying length on the first offense.
Second offense
will be a fixed 2 month ban.
Third offense will be a ban ranging from
1 year to being banned until 2109.

(3B)~Gore
- Posting pictures of almost-President Al Gore
is allowed. Posting
pictures of real life gore (dead people,
dismemberments, snake/spider
bites, etc.) is not allowed. You will have
your post removed and
receive a strike for posting these.

(3C)~Generally
Inappropriate Content - Posting things like fecal matter, urine, or
vomit is not allowed. This is offensive to other posters.

Video
game gore is okay.

(4) - Hack
Discussion

(5) -
Multiple Names

(5A)~Do not make
multiple names on the forum, as that creates difficulties on many
degrees. Instead, ask an Admin to change your name, and make sure you
do so in a public thread so other SSE members don't get confused.

(6) - Staff

(6A)~The staff reserves the right to remove any material from the site that they find to be offensive or abusive for the sake of the site and its users as indicated by the rules above.


(7) - Chatbox
(7A)~All forum rules above apply to the chatbox, no swearing, no spamming, no flaming.

(7B)~Any ban from the chatbox is permanent. if you've been banned from the chatbox, you must repeal it by sending a PM to an admin as to why you are sorry for what you've done and why you should be allowed access once again.
