In an effort to reduce post-whoring and other nonsense posting, we have applied a few more new rules.
No more IBTL-types of posts
These include:
In Before The Lock
In Before The Ban
In Before The Pink
In Before The Brown
and other funny or not-so funny variations.
If you find yourself in a situation where you feel a mod will intervene, then maybe instead of posting nonsense to get your postcount up, you could report the thread. The icon is found under the username and looks like this: http://www.zilvia.net/f/images/buttons/report.gif. And it also adds 1 post to your count when creating the reported post in the infraction forum only moderation can see, if that matters to you.
No more <msglength> in your posts
If your message is too short to meet the message length guidelines, then it is probably not very useful. This does not mean that you can beat the system by adding nonsense like "msglenghbullshitblablabla". Make your posts worthwhile and be a good contribution to the forum. Agreeing by saying "Yes. msglength" does not add any value to the forum.
Sanctions
Depending on the person, the quantity of infractions and many other variables, infractions could range from:
Post(s) Deleted
Warning
Pinking / Browning
Banning
So remember, less nonsense, more reporting (http://www.zilvia.net/f/images/buttons/report.gif) and everyone is happier!
