cbox rules

[Kin]

the rules

There will be consequences of not following these rules. So please don't be the one person who decides these don't apply to them. They're fairly simple really.

001. keep the cursing to a dull roar

This one is quite simple. The cbox automatically filters out most curse words, and we'd like for you to not overdo it with getting around the filters. We don't want thirteen year olds running around with sailors' mouths, do we?

002. no flooding

Flooding is considered to be a series of messages posted by the same person consisting of four or more messages in a row. There cannot possibly be anything you cannot say in three or less. If it takes four to explain, take it to a PM.

003. no spamming

Spam is considered to be a nonsense message. Please don't post ridiculous nothing on the box. If you don't have something of enough substance for any actual words, please refrain from posting at all.

004. no advertising

We have plug boards for that, and we'd appreciate it if you'd use them. Any persons found advertising for another site on any SS cbox will find their IP address banned from use of the box. This applies to members as well, though their ban will be temporary.

005. do not pursue topics that make others uncomfortable

This is a common courtesy rule. If someone says a topic is making them uncomfortable, continue your conversation via PM or another method of communication. Have some respect for your fellow members of the community and any guests that pass through.

006. leave drama at the door

Do not plunge the site into some dramatic tizzy. Please leave any dramatic tendencies at the door. The staff of SS have witnessed the way drama can hurt a site, and we do not want any such thing happening here. Any attempts to pit members against each other or ultimatums will be met with a temporary ban. If the behavior persists, a permanent ban will be implemented. However, do not think that this means you can't discuss your issues with the community.
