[Mother Nuru.]

Common sense indeed inst common especially when it comes to something as nearly obsolete as web forums. The older crowd among us are probably familiar with how web forums work but a lot of younger folks had no reason to join a forum before coming to dinks. Just about every forum I have been part of has had a READ FIRST post giving a crash course tutorial on how to properly navigate and use the forums. Most often it would contain proper forum etiquette and links to the most useful threads. I tried to make a post like that the last time this issue was brought up but it didn't gain much traction.

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. 

I -1 just for your blue comment. You little shit.
Good summary though.
