iBotPeaches Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited May 11, 2009 by iBotPeaches Added Rule 11
Dark Slipstream Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 Thanks for addressing this. Glad to know it`s finally been straightened out.
iKhaosmaster Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 It's about time we get some rules for it.
Decatur Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 is it considered spam if i invite new guys to the party in my pants? meh it's common sense most of these and it's sad that people can't think of these on there own and do it. such lack of common sense.

Lockon Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Flamming another member (Deemed by Staff) is a 12 hour banwhy not make it a one day ban since it'll make them learn not to do it in the future.
T3A guy Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 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.
Dark Slipstream Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Ok, we can make it a one week ban. That should keep people in their place.
Joe Walls Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 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.
Lockon Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Ok, we can make it a one week ban. That should keep people in their place.I agree with slip
T3A guy Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Just to be sure, the only bbcode abuse is quotescodehttp://interactimage.com/php/files/fa4420d73ceea8071c82b4f0ca8898a81237510975.pngandSizes greater than 4
Joe Walls Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 DSS please answer the question in my post.
iKhaosmaster Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 DSS please answer the question in my post.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.
yungbol Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 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.
Korupt Data Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 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
iBotPeaches Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Posted March 20, 2009 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.
Dan Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Can you drop the filter for certain members, or just for usergroups?
BTKC124 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Can i be un CBox banned??i was swearing and i r sorry.
iBotPeaches Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Posted March 20, 2009 Since our new rules are set in place. I think its only fair to restart everyone with a fresh slate. @Dan. Only usergroups
Dan Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Since our new rules are set in place. I think its only fair to restart everyone with a fresh slate. @Dan. Only usergroups Uhh ffs... I was going to say remove it for some people, but leave it on for the spamming/ nub VIP's. Couldn't you make 2 VIP usergroups and take off/ lower the shout wait for one of the usergroups?
iBotPeaches Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Posted March 20, 2009 Thats too much work for such a dumb reason. lol
Dan Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Thats too much work for such a dumb reason. lol Mehh, or demote all teh nub VIP's and get rid of VIP flood control Cookiez all around.
