RE: Common sense isn’t common - TDawg4 - 01-07-2020
We have not had too much of this recently, but mass -1 someones every post became an issue maybe a year or so ago. Those individuals got banned and admins had to manually remove them. Seems like some sort of addition to make even if it just is a system that removes the down votes of banned members.
The only problem with this is that sometimes people "deserve" their down votes so it is completely subjective. I am tentative in suggesting this because Im not sure how it should actually be implemented if at all.

Most -1 issues were caught by someone having a page or two of negative rep all at once from one person so catching wasn’t too hard. Are you referring to people who go out of their way to -1 any time a certain person posts regardless of what they say?

Both actually. Just not sure if it would fall under general harassment or not

I like the tips for Newbies things. It's good basic insight to the forums.
There could also be a Forums section added into the Guides and information section.
For the rules side of things the only ones I could really think of at this time were:
Don't Necro posts (any post that hasn't been commented on in a month plus)
Don't Shitpost in area's other than our Shitpost section, meaning don't shitpost on threads like (but not limited to): Staff applications, suggestions, ban/unban requests, etc. (Introductions are fair game)
Avoid duplicating recent threads
Avoid spam posting
(This falls under shitposting as well)
Please Keep personal matters/conversations in DM's, if it affects the community as a whole contact an Admin.
Do not advertise other servers or communities
Do not target people in the community
(Falls under keep personal matter in DM's)
Do not give others personal information out
(Pictures, name, phone number, email, Fax number, Pager number, Latitude and Longitude, etc,.)
The Most important rule being, Don't be Gabe or Nuru.
This is just my quick input on the rules things.

So y’all are aware, the writing starts tonight/tomorrow but I’m also writing another related piece. Last call before I set up my rough draft. It’ll be short if this is all we want
RE: Common sense isn’t common - matt_st3 (Strongrule) - 01-19-2020
Breaking the following rules may result in removal of the post, a forum warning, and/or the temporary or permanent ban of the offending account.
Do not necro old threads.
Do not revive threads that have run their course. If a thread has been dormant for more than a few weeks and is not an active suggestions thread or the missing ranks thread, it will be considered a necro to post in them. If the topic needs to be revisited after an extended time, create a new thread. Likewise do not revive archived threads, as these should be locked by a moderator. Necroing will receive a warning, which may stack and lead to the ban of the account.
Do not spam or shitpost.
Do not repost the same thread or reply to a thread with the intention of cluttering space or derailing a topic. Do not repeatedly pm members or staff for the same reason or for seeking help on a topic, there is likely an appropriate forum section to ask in. Do not post in important sections without proper form and reason. For example, do not post fake applications or ban requests with not format or proof. A shitposting section was created for joke threads that will not clutter the forums. These posts will be deleted, warned, and may lead to the ban of the account in serious situations.
Post in the appropriate section.
Keep topics in their respective areas. Prophunt matters stay in the Prophunt section, and so on for the other servers and discord. Topics related to general discussion or directed to the community as a whole have their own sections as well. Post in the proper area for applications and ban requests, do not pot in the archives as staff will miss them. Additionally, if the section calls for a particular format post as directed or else the thread may not be considered appropriate. Post maybe be moved or deleted and warned depending on the topic.
Do not flame or harass members.
Targeting or harassing members on the forums will not be tolerated. Posts or threads designed to openly insult or harass another member will be deleted and the offending account will be warned or potentially removed based on the seriousness of the post.
Additionally, do not post private or sensitive information of another player. The content will be immediately removed along with the offending account.
Do not post inappropriate content or links.
Do not provide links to other communities or attempt to self promote a community or business. All advertisement will be removed and warned.
Links to pornographic material or intending capture a member's account or information will be removed along with the permanent ban of the account.

This is a first draft, critique and add additional rules for consideration
