There has been some controversy stirring about the way things are currently run. I offered to write some new rules & guidelines, so here they are. I will update as soon as the rules change.
*NOTE* These rules are not 100% official, but they're exactly what a veteran forum member would expect out of you. I, and many other members, would highly suggest following these rules.
Double-Posting
Double posting is the act of posting twice in a row in a short space of time. In the top right corner of a post, there is an edit button. Please use that, then bump the topic (either by posting "bump" or using a forum tool). Double-posting is highly frowned-upon here. Bumping is not considered to be double-posting.
Grave-Digging
Grave-digging is when you post on an old topic. If you happen to grave-dig, there is a delete button next to the edit button (the X). There are certain places where grave-digging is worse than others, such as JJx>Report Bugs versus General Talk>Chit-Chat. For more information, see the rules for all subforums. Grave-digging is also highly frowned-upon in most situations.
General Rules
Raging, flaming, trolling, SMS abbreviations, spamming (replies, topics, and PMs), posting giant pictures without a spoiler, quoting a giant post, using a large signature, and writing in strange and hard-to-read methods (AlTeRnAtInG cApS, ALL CAPS, no caps, Capitalizing Every Word [not as hard to read]) are also not accepted here, with the former things being more offensive than the latter. Please refrain from practicing any of these actions.
Also, italics mean sarcasm. Or do they...
Warnings
Warnings are a system to encourage users to follow the forum rules. Currently, they are given out when any given user breaks the subforum-they're-posting-in's rules. When you have 3 warnings, you may be banned for a set period of time. If you believe a warning you were given was in vain, you can contact the moderator that gave you the warning for clarification.
