Updating and redefining some of the rules. Read:

a) Double Posting - Usually we wouldn't care , but if you make a post along the lines of this:
nice but where si the story

Followed shortly by a post like this:
Plud why would Master kill his guarding

Just annoys moderators and members alike. Disregarding this person's horrible grammer and spelling, but this is blatently a post that should've been merged with the one above it.
Theres an edit button folks, (and even a delete post option) use it. Do remember - temporary bannings occur at 10 points, so make sure any double posting is for a good reason. Don't worry, if its there for a reason, the moderators will know about it.

Lastly - if it's your topic in say, the Creative Corner sections, double posting rule is void.


b) This rule:
2) "Ecchi" and Violent art/fiction/story/etc are allowed, but be sure to post an age warning in the topic title first.
Applies to everything period. I might be putting a new Spoiler-Esk tag so you can hide more adult content.
Again, don't take this to mean you can post porn. Ecchi is, at most, basic nudity. That's about it.



Lastly, not that this has happened - don't use the report system for stupid reports such as "He said the word ass", or swearing period, etc. If you don't like swear words, there is a self censorship option (http://www.sprites-inc.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=159), so be sure to make use of that as well.


That's all folks.
Any mods, feel free to add to this, i'll be updating the rules when I get round to it.

I had a question about some "Rule Defenition."

Suppose someone had bad English as their second language, or first, and we wanted to help them. Not insult them, help them. As I'm learning Spanish I've always found it helpful when someone corrects my mistakes so I don't build bad habits, and eventually I learn, and become somewhat fluent. Now, would it be alright to tell someone with not-so-great Enlglish how to better make their post (Ex: Goodbye, you call me XXXzeroXXX. ; I believe you meant: Hello, you can call me XXXzeroXXX)?

Yes, thats fine. I have no problem with people with bad english if its their second language, its when its their first language that annoys me.

I had a question about some "Rule Defenition" to.

The rules says people may not say "l33t OMWGTF!"
but sometimes people post it, as a joke. hten it 's not breaking the rules. I understand that. but is there a visble "wall" (sorry for the word but I couldn't think of anything) between a joke and l33ting?

Jokes are fine, but t's better if you do that in the Spud'nik forum.

Talking like this : 1 4|\/| 83773|2 7#4|\| j00 83(4|_|53 '/0|_| |>|20848|_'/ (4|\|'7 |234[) |\/|057 0|= 7#15 : isn't a good idea.

Can we also have a rule to ban links to footage of people being murdered? I don't care how much it makes you give up on human excistance, just don't post it here.

But wouldn't Binary be better than L337 despite the space it takes up?
