Would like the FULL, OFFICIAL Facepunch rules of posting
32 replies, posted
So these forums don't get corrupt and you don't ban anyone for whatever reason. And this thread can be kept here for further reference.
Nah
rule #1 don't be a complete dumbass or a complete ass-hole, you should be fine.

List of Rules:
Use common sense
That is all
[QUOTE=larrylumpy;21975731]List of Rules:

nope, go further back
List of Rules:
- Don't do dumb things
- No eating in the General Discussion area
- Don't place your shit in a public place
- Place the correct threads in the correct sub-forums
there are no rules
no matter what you post you have about a 20% chance of getting banned by one of the awesome mods on this site.
you guys don't remember the old old rules do you
There were a set of rules, but quite frankly nobody followed them anyway and got banned. So they reinstated a new rule set which was something along the lines of:
[QUOTE]Use common sense. When in doubt don't post. Observe other members actions and you'll be fine.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Saza;21975854]you guys don't remember the old old rules do you[/QUOTE]
There was 34 of them, or 35. :v:
I remember the last one.
okay, you know what, I found it.
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.

THE GOOD RULES
Was it hard to [url=http://google.com]:google:[/url][/QUOTE]
When I first came here in '06 I remember reading the last one and turning to my friend (who told me about FP) and arguing about FP with him. He did defend blindly. I miss the good ol' days.

I wasn't even here in 06 and I still know them.
These rules are the better rules

If everyone followed those, FP would be the perfect place. Smartness would be a nice addition too, but that would make some things harder like posting names of things and shorthand for games. APB for example.

How can that be only one rule to 34 rules? A lot of moderators just abuse and ban anyone with the post that has the slightest twitch of an error. I'm not talking about you, but soon with so many people joining and getting banned might crash the Facepunch servers. In the meantime, some moderators are a little corrupt and get on a banning spree in the 1st hour they become moderators...
Just use common sense, idiot.

What do you mean by corruption?
So if I was to become a mod you'd expect me to go psychotic and ban everybody I see?
There are some Mods that ban you for every little mistake that noone gives a fuck about

Moderators aren't allowed to ban (without permission) until like a week after they got modded.
Pretty much every ban you see around here is fair, yes, people may not know the rules. People may get butthurt. But people can just shut up about it already.
[editline]09:25PM[/editline]
All mods ban for the same reasons. Some just give a wee bit longer bans. You should be alright, if you have a social life next to facepunch.

Looks like the OP was banned [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?p=21947973#post21947973]here[/url] and now thinks all moderators are corrupt.
Nice one.

There are no rules. Just lurk, pay attention to who gets banned for what, and there you fucking go.

I thought that bumps are allowed after a reasonable amount of time and as long as you don't constantly bump it?
[QUOTE=CjienX;21998811]I thought that bumps are allowed after a reasonable amount of time and as long as you don't constantly bump it?[/QUOTE]
Only if there's an actual reason for a bump he just said something stupid and pointless
No warnings, just short bans? For one moment I thought Facepunch was pretty stupid. But no, don't ban me for saying that.

Don't predict moderation.
DO NOT PREDICT MODERATION.
Don't say "rated (rating)"
