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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
