A small piece of advice...for everyone apart from Mods and Admin, of course...

You should check the Rules thread every few days just in case one has been changed or another one has been added. Just in case, mind, not any other reason. Make sure the Bubble King/Puppet Master does not return! He did nothing but create chaos in the Forums and he stood firmly against the rules that the site's operators have set up. Just trying to help out here.

Some questions:

What exactly are mods/admins?

<> Can others become them?

<>
 how can you tell who is a mod/admin and who isn't?

---

You won't stop me...

@Wildfire: We usually start a new thread every time we add a new rule.

@Demon Sentinal: The mods and admins are the people who take care of this site. We are here to be sure that everythings is ok. For example, if someone insults another member, we are here to give a warning to the guy. In the worst case scenario, we ban someone.

How do you know who is a mod/admin? We usually have our titles written in our avatars.

....Um I think it may be a good idea for a rule about hotlinking, that's caused some problems in the past

I ain't back for real..... But rest assured, I'm still watching over this place.

Oh... this might be a very good idea... but it depends... if you hotlink just a small pic, I doubt it will do much harm. But when you hotlink animations ( big in size ), then it's normal for the site owner to get angry.

I'll think for a while and I'll let you guys know. I want to  know what the others mods and admins thing as well.

Micheal, do not post those again. You know it's changed to be inculting pictures using swear words and offensive laguage that's not allowed on the forum. You know that we've all watched it before. You know it's not allowed.

If you post those pictures again it won't end well for you and I won't accept any excuses.

Maybe we should have members double check if they can use them or not, yeah they have to read stuff like....

"Don't claim as your own" "Get permission before using" or "DON'T F-ING HOTLINK MY SPRITES VERGIL, USE YOUR OWN BANDWITH!!!!" *cough*

Sorry, trying to show how serious this could be

You know... sometimes when you search the web, you find images hosted on imageshack or other hosting sites like that. I guess that if you hotlinks those, we won't remove them. But if you hotlink from a site... we won't allow that.

So... to avoid any problems, upload your images to hosting sites before posting them here.

Thanks.

....I think we have another problem, SOME people (Have no fear, I won't say any names) seem to think it's ok to post around 16 times in a row, (Sorry if this is already a rule) But that is called POWERPOSTING. Powerposting is a serious problems on a lot of sites, people post random spam to increase there rank, I think we might want to keep an eye out for this....

So its ok to post a link to a picture or video. But not a whole diferent site.

To fix that "Power Posting" Issue or rather explain how it happens...

Okay when you first try to post and it says error or it takes its time, most people (including me) like to push the submit button alot, which in turn makes this Power Posting.  So the best advice that I can think of for this occurance is to just be patient and let it do its thang and then move on, if it wont let you post then just exit outta the screen and go back in.

 

Thats all the thing that I can think of for that problem..
