Hey Everyone,

The community guidelines have been updated with the following rules:
Making Multiple Accounts:

Creating multiple accounts without permission is NOT allowed. Depending on the severity of the situation, anyone who is caught doing this will receive punishment, which may include raised warning level, mod preview, disabled posting, or a banned account. All duplicate accounts will immediately be disabled.

Posting Pictures
If found posting pictures of other memebers in order to demean them, the image will be removed and you will have an increased warning and if needed put on mod preview.

A separate post should be give to explain spam. You can also find these definitions in the Forum Rules in the Lounge.
Spam is/are:
Spam in the Resource Center:
  • Anything not pertaining or contributing to the topic (i.e., "South Park is the bestest show ever, no?" in a topic about, say, Myspace codes)
  • Chatting --> Some is tolerated but personal conversations and chatspeak is in no way allowed. Use the chatroom. That's what it's there for.
  • Posting the same topic in more than one forum. Accidents happen but it's spam if it's done repeatedly. There is a place for everything.
  • N.B. It is fine if one or two word posts are made in response to yes or no questions but don't do this for the sake of being annoying.
Spam in the Community Center:
  • Anything not pertaining or contributing to the topic (i.e., "South Park is the bestest show ever, no?" in a topic about, say, Myspace codes)
  • Chatting --> Some is tolerated but personal conversations and chatspeak is in no way allowed. Use the chatroom. That's what it's there for.
  • Blatant ignorance of forum/topic rules (i.e., Member Photos: there's a rule that you must thumb pictures that stretch out the forums, and if you keep doing it after you're warned, it is considered spam, or warning-worthy)
  • Repetitive posts (i.e., in Introductions, copying and pasting "Welcome to cB, and enjoy your stay!" for each thread)
  • Posting the same topic in more than one forum. Accidents happen but it's spam if it's done repeatedly. There is a place for everything.
  • Double-posting --> Wait until someone makes a new post after yours before you make a reply in that same topic. If you wish to add on to your previous post, use the Edit link at the bottom of your reply.
Any rules and guidelines posted separately from the community guidelines (ie: pinned topics) are included as well.

Also please keep in mind that the By-laws have been removed.



Any questions please leave them here.

I'm sorry. Let me edit that.


QUOTE
most of the time people get on their secondary accounts to post what one would complain as being pointless topics in the lounge, so one should really be happy.

we arent prohibiting secondary accounts; we're just asking for a good reason to have one.



i meant a general "you."

Why should 2-3 people affect the whole community?

with this whole rating thing, we were trying to give the OM's another perk. Since the staff and the members seem to never be in agreement about what's spam and what isn't spam, we thought it would be best to leave it up to the community (or rather, the official members) from now on.

i see no reason why anyone should be complaining about it.

i know, i haven't been in the community center a lot since i got promoted. other than that, i've been busy outside of cb.

i shall devote more time to off topic discussion!

edit://it occurs to me now that the rating topic is actually in the forum reorganization thread. not this one. great.

That wasn't the point. I'm never really here anymore, nor do I care where you do and don't post.

Definitely not the account I was talking about.

Besides, has anyone besides like 3 people caused trouble on multiple accounts? No.

3 is enough when you think of the handful of people that are actually active enough to give a shit.

No, 3 is enough for you guys to think that there needs to be a call-to-action because you haven't had enough to bitch about.

Sorry if that's what you think :]

Another reason would be because it's hard to enforce other/older rules on members who have multiple accounts. Should they get warnings on all three or four of their accounts, or just the account used in the action?

An easy way to avoid this is to prohibit the use of multiple accounts all together.
