Site Rules « Thread Started on Aug 13, 2008, 2:50pm »
These are the rules for now
1. No posting in all Caps. I view it as shouting and I have enough of that in real life. So when I see any shouting I will either A) Delete the post, or B) Edit the post.
You get 2 warnings before you get a 3 day ban. Any more of said behavor will result in a longer ban.
2. No Flaming or Trolling of any kind! Flaming is the deliberate act of bullying some one. Trolling is posting something that you know is going to start an argument.
You get 1 Warning for this. After that, you get a 1 week ban. Any further misbehavor will result in a much longer ban.
3. No extra amount of "?????" or "!!!!"'s. This will be classified as rule number 1. You may do this, but you can't have something like:
Quote:
OMG!!!!!! DID HE REALLY DO THAT?!?!?!?! WTH IS HIS PROBLEM?!?!?!
That is overdoing it.
Warnings/Bans are the same as rule #1
4. Absolutely no Netspeak! This is a forum. Not a chat room. Netspeak is unreadable, and just plain ugly. You must type the whole word out. You have a full size keyboard. So use it
3 Warnings. After this, a 1 day ban will be issued, and after that, a 1 week ban. Bans will become longer after that.
5. No Spamming or Flooding! This is a board for Pets. Not spam or flooding. You may not post post like this:
Quote:
a;dokgja;olfkgj;aklfng ;alkdng;kjngiejn lkng;ren
That is completely unacceptable.
0 Warnings. First time offense gets you a week ban. Any other behavior like this will result in a much longer ban.
Currently, those are the only rules. If you think i should add one, PM me

As stated in the mass email I have sent, here is a new rule
Drama will not be tolerated. I just don't like it. Especially with all of the drama I see all of the time in Real Life. First offense gets you a warning. Second offense gets you a 3 day ban. Third offense gets you a 3 week ban. Forth and final offense, you guessed it, gets you a perma-ban. I'm not trying to be mean or rude with that. It's just that this is a happy place. A place where its members can come, talk about pets, play some games, have fun, escape whatever is bothering them, etc.
The drama rule is only for ONLINE drama. If you have something about real life you want to get off your chest, or talk about, that is fine. You will not get in trouble with that. A rule of thumb with doing that is to change any, and all names, and words that may be offensive.
The word "drama" means, in the sense that I am talking about, is a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting or intense conflict of forces. I wanted to state that, so that there will be no confusion as to what that means.
