What is the purpose of facepunch?
I just need to clear some things up. After reading the rules before posting on facepunch i am just a little confused. So what is facepunch here for?
After 30 posts and half a year, you still don't get what is facepunch for?
Was a forum for garry's halflife 2 mod. people joined, talked about other shit, children came, ruined most of the forum and here we are.
OP is thinking too hard
Discussion on whatever mundane crap people can think of that day.

It was actually for the Facewound game, then it became about GMod.

This. "Facepunch Studios" was created to make Garry seem professional whilst working on Facewound.
This is such a huge misconception regarding Facepunch and its history.
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;23707691]and the last 2/4 have pirated it. The group that actually played it got bored and said "fuck this shit I'm gonna chill in fast threads".

this, except with GD.
From my viewpoint, it's a place where I can use the :jerkbag: emote without paying $10.
It's a place to discuss stuff with people who have similar ideas to yours

:rimshot:
Started out as a specific game forum, the community grew alot and began just treating it as a forum for internet savvi people.
It's a place where you will find mostly teens-early 20 year olds who play videogames, are a bit quirky and are generally nice people.
Oh and we have a stereotype: Fat, ugly, nerdy, no-friends, pimples, know-it-alls who are bad at diagnosing illness's.

Its a magical place where children come to get flamed and adults come to flame the children

Was this directed at me?

Yes, but he was agreeing with you old boy.
Now go back and read ALL these posts! This is why i asked the question, what is facepunch for. I would say 80% of the posts in here are breaking the rules! This is a place to help others that have questions about gaming, coding, scripting, lua, and other helping needs. Almost all of you broke the facepunch posting rules. Someone asks a question you answer it if you know the answer. Not come into the fourms read peoples posts and flam, make fun of, or just be an ass. Stop telling people how bad there spelling is, how much they suck and how much better you are than them. Yea been here for about a year and now only have 32 posts, because i dont come in here unless i really have to. People take you heads out of your asses! Funny thing is i remember a little while ago i asked a question about a game mode that i knew nothing about, and i was the one to get ban for a day, not the flamers, the assholes, the ones that have nothing to say but negative things. So FACEPUNCH ADMINS would be a good thing to read all the posts before you make the choice who or who not to ban for rule breaking. Maybe everyone needs to READ THE RULES! Either 90% havent read the rules or have and just don't care because they have 2000 plus posts and think they cant be touched. Next time someone asks a question read it (even if words are SPELT wrong)Answer the question to help that person.

We don't have a specific list of rules, anymore.
I'd advise you to adjust to the community very, very fast.
Oh for you lazy people that never read the rules but know what they are here are the "genral dis. rules for posting"
Don't reply to SHIT threads just to make fun of how SHIT they are
If you think a thread is a pile of crap DON'T POST IN IT- It's keeping all the dumb threads on the first page.
Use descriptive thread titles and post in the right subforum
Or you'll get banned.
Don't make boring contentless threads
Threads about what happened at school today or how unfair your parents are or what should I have for dinner
Nobody wants to read about that and there isn't anything to discuss.
No megathreads
The modteam will title yours one if we think it's necessary.
Use search
Before you make a thread, check to see if there hasn't been one recently made about it. If there is, then just post in there instead.
Threads with no real topic to actually discuss belong in Fast Threads
Includes "post your x" threads and small questions
Bad ideas for threads
Justin Beiber
School
Unfair parents
Religion
My x hurts/is sick/is dead
Parody threads
4chan
Mundane crap you did today
It's my birthday today/in X days/tomorrow/etc...
I'm new here
Chat-logs
Your awful idea for fixing x global crisis. IT SUCKS
Dumb video streams
Your medical problems
Your bowel movements
Your stories of masturbation shenanigans
None of these ever end well so your thread will just get locked. If it's exceptionally awful you'll get banned too, so make these kinds of threads at your own risk!
Note - Ban-me threads and spam threads are the same thing, you will get banned for posting in them.
Now tell me 80% of the people in here are not breaking these rules.
Thanks for copy pasting the sticky. It was really informative.

This is just what i am talking about. Hes a gold member oooow look out, this one i call "UNTOUCHABLE ATTITUDE"
[QUOTE=twdthunder;23716742]blablabla[/QUOTE]
For starters, you haven't posted in the correct category of the forum.
I have been a member of Facepunch for quite a while now, I'm not inducing superiority when I say this, but you should refrain from posting in the manner you are now, it'll only make things worse for yourself.

Wat
100% of the people in this thread are breaking "Rule 1" in the sticky.
Because this is a shit thread.
The real rule is "Use common sense and don't be banned"
Shit threads like this get you banned.
Yup making it worse for myself by asking a QUESTION, then getting jackass replies and non helpful replies. Yea and im the bad guy. I was just pointing something out. Now get over it and move on.

You should've posted in fast threads or the "Ask us about the forum" thread which was created for specific discussions such as guidelines.
[QUOTE=twdthunder;23716742]words[/QUOTE]
Please leave. This thread isn't helping at all. Nobody reads the rules because they are rarely enforced. But if you're a dumbass, the ban hammer comes down from heaven and fucks you at the slightest slip-up.
Knowing the rules =! coolness
[QUOTE=twdthunder;23716742]:words:[/QUOTE]
The only real rule in here is use common sense. Nothing more, nothing less.
You are asking why people get banned for breaking said rules in the sticky; They violate the golden rule of common sense.
[editline]07:05PM[/editline]
Common sense. learn it.
Shit posts, i ask a question about facepunch and you all are just assholes, you want to read a shit post [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=977786[/url] there is 1 shit post out of hunderds, mine was asking a question about facepunch. No rules in here then rules posts need to be taken down. I will not respond to this post anymore, hopefully admins will see the flamers in here now and maybe make facepunch a little more like it should be. Moving on.....
You should have asked this question in "Ask About The Forums v8" thread
so uhm who's the bad poster in here? OP
