The New Buzz Rules!
This message board is provided as a replacement for
Decipher's STCCG Everything Else
and is intended to allow more freedom of discussion than is currently
allowed at Decipher. Most of
you will have no problems abiding by these guidelines, but some will.
So, you have to agree that a few rules must be set up in order to
maintain a civil discussion.
By posting on The New Buzz, you agree to abide by these rules
completely and agree to recognize the authority of the board
monitors in the above mentioned forum.
They are as follows:
- Chatting
- A new user's "Hello, I'm new here," etc, post is fine, but
"I'm here now," and such pointless chatter isn't what this message
board is for. If you want to chat, find a chat room.
Sanctuary is an
excellent place to chat with other CCG players.
- Handles
- No impersonations whatsoever, and no pretending to be
different people by posting with alternate handles. Post either
under your own handle, or include your normal handle (or a
recognizable abbreviation of it) in the handle field if you wish
to use and alternate handle. If you wish to change your handle,
just let the other posters know what you're changing your handle
to so we know who it is.
- Discussion
- Most topics are fine, as long as we don't get into R-rated
territory. Don't get too graphic in any descriptions or pictures
you may post, keep profanity to a minimum. Do not post links to
pornography sites or image links that draw in pictures from pornography
sites. Basically, keep it rated PG-13.
If the profanity gets too bad, we'll institute the filtered words
again.
- Don't start flame wars or get insulting. Insults only
reflect badly on you.
- Try to be at least somewhat tolerant of other's feelings.
Disagreement, even strong disagreement, is fine, but no "If you
don't support such-and-such an issue, then you're a total moron".
- Any discussion that includes content that
a monitor deems violates the terms of usage agreement for web
hosting services will be deleted without warning. This
includes posting of porn or other illegal material.
- Board Rules Updates
- By posting on The New Buzz, you agree to abide by these rules.
Updates to this document will be heavily advertized on The New
Buzz and changes to it will be marked in red. You will be
expected to abide by any changes to this document from the moment
it is uploaded. Changes to this document and upload times may
vary, but is at the sole discretion of the board monitors and
may be done without any prior warning.
- The Final Authority
- What a board monitor says, goes - no ifs, ands or buts about
it. If you have a post deleted, asking why is just fine, but once
you're told, don't go on and on and on about it. Just follow the
rules and you shouldn't have anything deleted to begin with.
- Deletion of posts is up to the sole discretion of the board
monitor(s) involved. Don't come crying to a board monitor who
wasn't involved in a deletion and who has no idea what's going
on, because it won't do you any good.
- Anything not covered in this document, but is viewed as
inappropriate for The New Buzz by the board monitors, will be
taken care of at the discretion of the board monitors. Just use
common sense and you shouldn't have any problems.
BY ENTERING THE NEW BUZZ YOU HEREBY
AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS LISTED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT
AGREE, DON'T VISIT OUR MESSAGE BOARD.
