Guest Chaos Pudding Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 1: Follow the rules of the site.This one is obvious. Just because I list a few guidelines does not mean that whatever I don't post is somehow allowed. I'm almost reluctant to make this one a "rule", but you can never be too careful with the majority of the people on this site. 2: No stupid/pointless threads.Basically, use your head. If a thread isn't generating useful discussion, it will be locked. This includes duplicate threads, threads that deal with the same subject as a thread that was recently posted (probably within 5-7 days of the new thread), "CHECK MY BINDER"/trade threads, and other assorted threads. Obviously, this will involve a lot of subjectivity, and if you feel that your thread was locked unfairly, feel free to PM either me or Crab/any other mod who happens to frequent this forum. I promise that I will give your argument a chance.2a: Individual card discussion topics (The kingdom Neos Clause): I thought that an announcement would have been enough, but apparently it wasn't enough. If your card discussion topic title does not include the name of the card, I will edit your title to include the name of the card and I will warn you 10%. If your username is "kingdom Neos" or you share an IP with the user "kingdom Neos" I will warn you 20%. If I cannot identify what card the discussion is about right off the bat, then I will lock the thread until you yourself PM me the name of the card, and I will warn you 20%. If your username is "kingdom Neos" or you share an IP address with the user "kingdom Neos" I will warn you 30%. This is why you don't want to get pissy with me, kingdom Neos. 3: If your topic asks a question about rulings, ask it in the Q&A topic.Self-explanatory. If you feel that I have left something unclear, or if you feel that I have forgotten a rule that doesn't fall under rule 2, feel free to drop me a PM or to post in this thread.

「tea.leaf」 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 What was wrong with the old rules? Too specific I think... Edit: Lol' date=' this is my 4000th post.[/quote'] I didn't really give myself much room to maneuver. Rule two is pretty much only one that's necessary. I like this a lot more over the old set.

burnpsy Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I have a small question about this... 2: No stupid/pointless threads.Basically' date=' use your head. If a thread isn't generating useful discussion, it will be locked. This includes ... threads that deal with the same subject as a thread that was recently posted (probably within 5-7 days of the new thread), ...[/quote'] This was already a forum-wide rule, was it not? Also, I was wondering if this being a rule in this forum would allow me to use my Search Button image again. I was banned once because a mod thought it wasn't important for one to check if a thread was recently posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Is that "no rule change thread" rule still in effect? Because I find them interesting, and they should be treated like any other beyond discussing a card(s). Lock the stupid pointless ones, keep the decent ones unlocked.

The Crimson King Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 This set of rules seems simple and fair. I just wonder how many noobs will actually become better upon reading this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmNateXero Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 So that the search button can actually live and breath, it should be a rue that all "Discussion Topics" include the card/ defining key term in its title. Im tired of trying to post new threads just to be told that it was already posted because of a silly, unfunny, attempt of a joke / play on words. If we're cracking down, then lets get serious.

Guest PikaPerson01 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Can we make "prediction" topics against the rules as well? Whether they be "predict the top 8 at next SJC" or "predict what comes out in Reprint Pack 19" or "predict the next banlist"? They honestly generate no good responses like... ever.

Well, predictions of top 8 could theoretically become a discussion of the meta in general, but other "prediction" topics are worthless, I agree.

Guest PikaPerson01 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Eh, those kinds of "discussions" about the meta in general could probably be formulated much better. I mean, it's just: "I predict 11 lightsworn, 2 Blackwings, 1 Gladiators, 1 Zombie, 1 Anti-Meta to make the top 16""I predict [other numbers, with Lightsworn rather high]""Yeah, Lightsworn are pretty broken, let's discuss that for 7 pages and come up to the exact same conclusion we already made about 20 other topics like this ago."

Thomas★Zero Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 When looking at these rules I think:1.

The threads need to be the name of the card or at least have the name in it, it's impossible to search cards at in the TCG section if the titles are some "funny" titles that you love so much.

You can still have funny titles, just have the name of the card somewhere in the topic. Also, if you notice, I have the phrase, "and other assorted threads", which basically means anything that I find to be stupid. So even under this rule I could lock your threads for not having the name of the card in the topic title. Oh, and if you just post a picture of the OCG card, with no effect or even a link, then I'll lock it, too, until you change it so that it has a name or a link or both. No exceptions.
