    I've went ahead and taken the role to write the rules.

    Shoutbox Rules

    1) A staff decision is final. No arguing

    2) The spam filter will stay at 4 seconds

    3) BBCODE will be revoked and added based on abuse

    4) Posting any image (except emotions) is against rules and if caught will result in 5 minute ban

    5) Flamming another member (Deemed by Staff) is a 12 hour ban

    6) Excessive spamming (Deemed by Staff) is a 6 hour ban

    7) We log all bans (STARTING NOW)

    8 ) Once you hit 10 tallies (caused by breaking rule # 4,5,6). You will either LOOSE your VIP, or get a SITE 7 day ban if normal member.

    9) We have them logged, we don't make errors. Don't argue your ban.

    10) Avoiding bad word filters, with any technique is grounds for temp. ban

    11) The excessive use of CAPS is grounds for a ban.


    This is to reduce the crap we get in the cbox.

    I think he meant don't shout repeatedly when he said spam.

    why not make it a one day ban since it'll make them learn not to do it in the future.

    It isn't really a big difference.

    Ok, we can make it a one week ban.

    That should keep people in their place.

    These rules are as good as Coco Puffs! Sold on your cereal isle at your local grocery store! You'll go koo koo for Coco Puffs! Part of a complete breakfast.

    I am not a General Mills advertiser.

    LOL jk, but yes, please explain what you mean by spam because I get accused of spamming for stupid jokes.

    If you know people aren't going to enjoy your shout then don't shout it or if like we're talking about something and you say something random we think of that as spam. But most of the time you continuously shout the same thing over and it gets annoying. You also shout repeatedly to much.

    Because of childish behavior we are treated like children with the rules. I mean I am fed up with little babies coming here and whining and posting in-mature things in the shoutbox. I just can't stand a 5 second filter, now even greater an 8 second filter... Whew, kids need to grow up and these rules wouldn't be like this.

    Im glad there are finally some set in stone rules (not just going with the wind on bannings and such)

    Also im tired of going in the shoutbox and seeing content flaming, maybe now people will actually stop :rolleyes:

    I'm thinking of dropping the filter speed down a bit. Its too hard to hold a conversation with a non-staff since they have to wait forever.

    Can you drop the filter for certain members, or just for usergroups?
