Rules

Subject: Rules Sun Jan 04, 2009 4:28 am

Since there have been quite a few quarrels about the rules, I will post the one's that Emily (creator of the site) had posted a while back. But I have rewritten them, since there have been some new rules added since she posted the rules. Here are the rules:

Dear members,

Okay, I'm just going to make this quick. Here are the basic rules for posting.

In a post, you have to have at least eight words or more. Otherwise, it is considered spam.

Just saying something like "Cool" or "Whatever" is not suitable.

Do not be mean or disrespectful to other members or Admins.

No chatspeak. Please don't use phrases like "lol", "omg", or "ttyl". Do not say something unless you know other people will understand it, or if you have an explanation.

No double posting. When I say this, I mean do not start saying something in one post and finish it in another. If I see any of that I will move it into the first post and delete the second post.
And there will not be any contests for posting. That just increases off-topic things.

If you post a topic, stick with the subject. If the topic is about animals, you talk about animals there, and nothing else. If you do go off-topic, the topic will be deleted (I don't think that one applys AS much anymore).

Absolutely no swearing or any dirty stuff. This is a kid-safe site. If you say something like, "OMG you fell for that? Lol", it will be deleted. OMG is not allowed. Oh my gosh is allowed, but not the other term. I will erase it if I see it. And please, the dirty stuff? Yes this is a kids site. I really don't want to delete any members but I will if I have to.

Okay, now on to grammar. Please don't post something like this:
"Hey,how r u? im doin gd. u? lol,ttyl"

If you do, it will be deleted. You should only post something like this:
"Hey, how are you? I'm doing good. You? Okay, talk to you later."

Unlike Emily had said in her original post with the rules, saying "lol" is not okay. The rules have been changed around since she's posted that.
But, something like *rolls eyes* is fine.

I am going to have several moderators be on patrol. So if they see anything bad or off topic, they can delete it, so watch what you say.

If a person is posting excessive off topic, they will be warned. If they continue to do it, they will be banned. So watch it, because if you don't and you get a warning, you're out of the message board.

I'm sorry if this is harsh but off topic and some other things
are a problem
Thank you!
Admins Emily, Elandri, Batgirl and Star

Ok, this sems like it will be easy enough to follow.
Chatspeak really is hard to read, isn't it?

Thanks, Star! I think I may actually add these rules to the FAQ page, as well.

I've been reading the forum. You've been targeting batgirl in every post.

Subject: Re: Rules Sun Jan 04, 2009 10:33 pm

You're welcome! I just figured someone would need to re-type them eventually, so hey, why not? ^^

Yeah, that's your second warning, BB. '^^

And can we please not try to fight? Please?

Subject: Re: Rules Sun Jan 04, 2009 10:37 pm

you know i wouldn't try to fight...i dont ever get upset on this site, thi site is the place i trust most where i thought i could talk to people about anything, even when i have trouble at school you guys are always there for me, and part of last year was so horrible but you guys were always there, i'm not targeting Batgirl i'm just trying to find out what ive done wrong to her.

Subject: Re: Rules Mon Jan 05, 2009 12:31 am

Yes, but that doesn't mean you should be like that on every thread.

Um...thanks, BB.

Subject: Re: Rules Mon Jan 05, 2009 12:27 pm

I'm trying to make a point, i want to be friends but you make it so difficult.

Subject: Re: Rules Tue Jan 06, 2009 1:28 am

If you want to be friends, then don't be freakin' rude! "you do that.." isn't exactly "friendly".

Subject: Re: Rules Tue Jan 06, 2009 3:28 pm

Yeah i know, i was in a bad mood, ill be diffrent from now on Very Happy

Subject: Re: Rules Tue Jan 06, 2009 9:35 pm

Okay...Yay? Razz

Bad moods are baaaaad. Razz

Subject: Re: Rules Tue Jan 06, 2009 10:20 pm

Yeah..tell me about it :L
winds me up compleatly...and my family :L

Subject: Re: Rules Thu Jan 08, 2009 1:56 am

I don't understand how saying "You do that" is rude. I say it all the time. I guess it's the internet, and how you can't use your voice to convey a message and it gets all mixed up. Once I said sure to one of my friends online, and they're like, "Hey! Stop being rude, it's true!" and I meant it in the sense of, like, affirmative, not sarcasm. So yeah.

BB, seriously, if you're not going to control your language, you're going to have to be banned. If I recall correctly, this site is for kids aged 8 to 18. If you think "bitching" is an appropriate word for children of 8 to be exposed to, I think you have some issues. Yes, I know there are no 8 year olds currently on the site, but there could be in the future, and there could be children lurking. If I was lurking, I wouldn't waste my time on this forum, to tell the truth.

Subject: Re: Rules Thu Jan 08, 2009 2:02 am

Yeah, things do get mixed up. At the time, though, Eden was mad at me, and had been being rude on other threads. I do hate that you mean something one way, but people can take it the other way. That's where italiacs and such come in handy.

Subject: Re: Rules Thu Jan 08, 2009 7:01 pm

Yeah, i ws being mean not sarcastic..amd shouldn't of..and i wont again..i promise Batgirl. Razz
