[release]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.[/release]
Hello.
I made this thread because I think we need a basic set of rules, because common sense isn't just enough.
Every kind of group or organization has it's own rules, so why facepunch doesn't has any kind of rules?
[highlight](User was banned for this post ("Don't make threads which have almost entirely copy pasted content in the OP" - verynicelady))[/highlight]
We already got rules.
"Just common sense, when in doubt, don't post"
blah
[QUOTE]26. Replying to threads like you were the guy they were talking about in the first post isn't funny.[/QUOTE]
Yes I am...
I was expecting something retarded, but these seem pretty legit rules.
The common sense rule is fine.
Seem's prietty dumb. Our rules are un-written. Use some common sense and you wont get banned.
thank you this list should be in the rules stickied thread
i remember this list from a long while ago

Congratulations for not being here before 2009.
"Common Sense" is better IMO
No, rules => faggots using them at their advantage. No rules means mods that can ban idiots easier.
Although they're banning for no fucking reason sometimes. Still, voted NO.
Facepunch already has rules, unspoken rules.
getting explicit rules means a better facepunch, a better tomorow
[quote]33. This is not an obituary forum. Don't post threads about how your relative/friend/cat died[/quote]
I agree with not posting about dead pets, but a dead friend or relative would be a huge event in someone's life and exactly the sort of event that an anonymous shoulder to cry on would be damn useful. Plus we shouldn't need rule lists.

when you have rules lists you get people exploiting loop holes to get around being banned. when you have "use common sense" there are no loopholes.
Didn't these use to be the rules?
ordanos aren't you posting from an alt yeah thought so
[editline]12:28AM[/editline]
should have included that in your list

Yeah, they were. Looks like OP has decided to pretend that he created those rules himself.

Rule 69.

He didn't say he made the list, only tried to bring it to attention
[QUOTE=LinuX;21802265]Rule 69.[/QUOTE]
Sorry I missed the point
Folkways, man. If you can't integrate, you are pruned from the group. It's more exclusive.
Noone refers to these rules, the only rule is common sense.
