Cbox Rules, These aren't set in stone

[Sakuyu]

1. No Flaming, trolling, etc. ~ Everyone

2. Nothing that would be considered inappropriate for people of our major age group [14~17 i think] unless everyone currently online agrees that it's okay. we're all old enough to see such things, but really, no one wants to see it. Anyone new that comes on doesn;t count when you're wondering if it's okay. ~ Still in progress; Sakuyu

3. Don't talk about anything that you KNOW will offend someone. It would venture into 'Dude not funny' Category. ~ Everyone

4.This doesn't really apply to us, because almost no ever visits, but just in case.NO ADVERTISING YOUR SITE LIKE CRAZY ON THE CBOX. You don't know how much this REALLY pisses people off. ~ Sakuyu

5. If a staff member tells you to stop doing stuff and you don't stop, you're going to get in trouble. This should be common sense, but it apparently isn't. ~ Oron

6. No talking and spewing out crazy words for the 'sake of being random and funny' when you know we're not having a happy moment. Read back every time you come on here, atleast look at the few recent posts to see what's happening. Seriously saying "posted" or "replied" because you are RPing or talking to someone privately, yet two people on the c-box are having a close conversation, is ridiculous. Come on, we have cell phones, home phones, the WHOLE INTERNET, there are more than one way to tell someone you did something small ~ Jokuki

These are the main ones I suggest. Any additions are welcome, and this is still open to debate.

the PG-13 thing is really obscure though. WHat do we know if PG-13, and what isn't?

[Sakuyu]

True...lemme edit that a little.

[Jokuki]

me knowing about boobs and sex is perfectly normal fo rme, so it's still a little vague and has many gray area's. I may be comfortable with talking about sex in detail, but you're not....so uhm...it's another user operated rule.

[Sakuyu]

Damn. I know perfectly well about that stuff, okay? But I'm trying to label it in a way that its not so restricting, but at the same time is still effective. Help me out here.

"3. Don't talk about anything that you KNOW will offend someone. It would venture into 'Dude not funny' Category."

tis rule works pefectly well. We all know talking about sex in great detail will most liekly disturb someone. We always give someoen a warning either way, because well...rules aren't always remembered. So after warning them, and they still talk about it, that's violating this rule; ending in punshiment.

[Sakuyu]

That makes sense

[Oron]

Another one, since it apparently wasn't obvious enough for Kirin a while back.

"If a staff member tells you to stop doing stuff and you don't stop, you're going to get in trouble. This should be common sense, but it apparently isn't."

[Sakuyu]

That's another good one!

[Jokuki]

Oh yeah, and since everyone is ALWAYS complaining about this, here's a rule we NEED.

"No talking and spewing out crazy words for the 'sake of being random and funny' when you know we're not having a happy moment. Read back every time you come on here, atleast look at the few recent posts to see what's happening. Seriously saying "posted" or "replied" because you are RPing or talking to someone privately, yet two people on the c-box are having a close conversation, is ridiculous. Come on, we have cell phones, home phones, the WHOLE INTERNET, there are more than one way to tell someone you did something small"

Ok big rule yes, but it'll be more clear when it happens. Mainly when we have a "I jsut come on here and you guys yell at me" moment.

[Aura]

And we did today. I agree on what Jokuki just said.

[mtmaster]

Any other possible rules?
