I'm sorry to say this, but..... Options

[DoubleJ]

What the hell has happened to this place? It has gotten to be really boring around here as of late. Now I know that as a mod, I am not supposed to say that, but it is honestly how I feel.
Some of you people need to leave cb, as it has turned into consuming your lives, and you are starting to look petty and childish at the minimum.

If you notice, the same bullshit topics are getting bumped left and right, and everything in cb seems to be going in one big circle. There are only so many times when you can honestly say that it is slow because of summer. Hell, I have more interesting convos and discussions on cbc than I do in cb. As a matter of fact, cbc is way more active than cb is.

My point is this, we have got to start changing things up in the form of new topics, people, and what not. This place really could use a stiff kicking in the ass. I remember when I first joined back in November, I would post like 100 times a day....Now I am lucky if I post 6 or 7 times a day.

COME ON PEOPLE! WAKE UP AND LET'S START MAKING THIS PLACE HAPPENING AGAIN!

That forum also has a regiban, meaning if you register while you're banned, all your accounts and alts get permabanned.

One of the mods there is 12. Age range goes from 9 to 42 at Facepunch.

Rules there are:
1. This rule list is not total, the excuse 'it wasn't on the rules list' isn't applicable. This is not a democracy.
2. Respect each other. Don't call each other names.
3. Don't reply to a thread just to say it's shit.
4. Don't troll. Don't reply to a thread about The Simpsons to say that Family Guy is better.
5. If someone does something wrong, report them. Flaming or attacking them will get you banned.
6. Don't reply to threads that are made with the intent of the user getting banned (ban me threads)
7. Nudity is fine. If you want to post pictures of an erect penis or penetration of any kind do not [img] tag it.
8. Don't post child porn.
9. Purposely breaking any of these rules with an alt account will get all your accounts permabanned.
10. Use descriptive thread titles. Things like 'Help' or 'Something I saw..' aren't descriptive.
11. Do not link, hint or talk about warez. Discussing games that you have pirated is fine - but we don't need to know that you pirated it, or where you pirated it from. Anyone that asks for links to pirated games will be banned.
12. Do not make parody threads.
13. If you're posting a link to a news story say why and/or state your opinion. Do not just post links.
14. Do not copy and paste new threads from a website.
15. Do not post things like 'I smell a ban' or 'this is against the rules' or 'wrong forum'.
16. Spell properly. This isn't GameFaqs.
17. Do not reply to threads just to reply. Replying with things like 'uh.. ya' or 'what' will get you banned.
18. If you're replying to a thread asking for help, HELP OR DO NOT POST.
19. Advertising your website is fine as long as it's relevant.
20. Don't steal stuff and claim it as yours. Don't use this rule as an excuse to bitch if you're not credited for your work. They need to claim that they made it.
21. Read the thread before replying. If you reply to a thread based on thread title you will get banned.
22. Don't make new threads to announce your birthday. No-one cares.
23. Don't make threads to get us to make up your mind about something ie 'Should I get a PS3 or XBox360?'. Make up your own mind. Don't use this rule as an excuse to flame people for making a thread to ask opinions ie 'What is the best MP3 player?'
24. Posting Image Macros will get you banned. It isn't clever. Just use words.
25. Replying with hilarious meme's like 'Stick it in her pooper' will get you banned.
26. Replying to threads like you were the guy they were talking about in the first post isn't funny.
27. Making obvious threads to earn ratings will get you banned.
28. DO NOT ACCESS THE FORUMS VIA A PROXY. If you're viewing the site through a proxy and you have the same IP as someone using that proxy to spam you will also get permabanned. I don't care if your school blocks the forums.
29. Don't make threads about how unfair your school is.
30. Don't make threads about religion, unless it's in a religion forum.
31. Don't make threads about dreams, unless it's in a dreams forum.
32. Don't make threads asking if your computer can run a game.
33. This is not an obituary forum. Don't post threads about how your relative/friend/cat died.
34. Blindly defend Facepunch, even when you know you're wrong.


I think they're pretty effective.
