Forum Game Rules
Posted: Sat Mar 01, 2008 12:35 pm
NOTE: DO NOT POST IN THIS SECTION!! POST IS ONLY OPEN FOR THE POLL!
If you do not already know Forum Games were created to spam up through the post ranks without Technically Spamming. If you do not know what the term spam means it is any post with absolutely nothing to back it up. Normally you would post in order to converse amongst someone else but in these games there is not real reason behind them.
Now at one time the last Moderator of this section did make any Forum Game a bad no-no. Meaning he did not like them and would not accept them being on this section.
I, myself, liked the forum games as long as they stayed fun and exciting. So I am going to implement a few rules for forum games to keep them interesting and keep what looks like spam out of the forums.
Rules:
1. Please wait for AT LEAST 2 posts after yours before you post again. Do not go back and forth with the same person over and over again... It's spam and I dislike it.
2. Once games hit 5 pages and I notice them, I will check it to make sure it is interesting. Once the posts have become dull and just there to be there then I will close the game.
3. If anyone does not follow the first rule I will close the game automatically. People will not be mad at me for it would not be my fault for the rule being broken.
4. Once a game is closed, DO NOT bring it back up in another post. Keep each new forum game fresh and exciting.
That is all I can think of for now, I would REALLY hate to close them down entirely because even SHAdmin likes to dab in them every now and again, because it's fun.
Now for any other posts: Do not continue posting in a thread once your part of the conversation is over. If you drag on a topic JUST to get another post in or JUST to keep it open I will lock the thread.
I go through every now and again to check any and all posts that are AT LEAST six months old. I DO NOT want to see someone posting in a thread that has not been posted in for 4 or 5 months. Chances are the people from that post may not even still be here, so it was a dead topic then it should stay that way.
I do understand the rules I implement are somewhat straight forward but I am trying to ensure my sections of Smokyhosts stay lively and fun for people to enjoy. So if you have any problems with these rules please Private Message me to discuss them. If you can give me a 100% good enough reason to pull any of them down, then I will give it a shot. But due to the past Forum Games getting out of hand (*I'll admit I did use them to rack up the points back when SH was Point Based, which is how I know exactly what they are for.*) I must do this.
If someone does not post in the Forum Games and you just posted right before the last one... Do not post again! Let it die, because it was going to anyway.
P.S. Forum Games are like "You are banned because..." It's a spam game, which I won't mind leaving on the forums as long as rules are followed. All previous posts will of course be null and void of this rule as it starts now. Trust me I may not have a ton of activity... but I'm always watching.
