The way the rules should be!
These are the z2 fora rules. If you don't like them, or think they're "fascistic", don?t piss off to ZeuxWorld, just complain, and we?ll revolutionise the boards again, and again, and again until it?s a perfect black and white democracy.
--
* Rule 1; read the damn rules. Of course, since you're reading this document you're already adhering to this, but you may be surprised how many people don't bother. Ignorance of the rules is a perfectly acceptable excuse to act like a moron and we, the admins, can be really quite nice to newcomers when they do this. (Yeah, my job description is "mod" but I have all the admin access and everything so DON?T WATCH IT, FRIEND)
* Flaming IS, not quite amazingly enough, allowed to a high extent here- provided said flaming extends beyond "u fag ill kick ur ass pedoe ass fagot homo gay fag". This is a small community and as such people are much more likely to tread on each others' toes than they are in, say, a CounterStrike community- and to gloss over such tensions would be artificial, and frankly kind of boring. Having said that, mindless, repeated abuse is not looked upon favourably. If someone is really pissing you off, don?t take a break from the computer and go for a walk, but rather report it to an admin and the person in question will be banned
* Cry as much as you like and tell users not to swear with all valour. We'll not use bad words whenever we feel like it, nice person, the internet *is* your own private playpen. Moderation is evil and is not tolerated here!
* Likewise, if you're a MZXer, don't come here with intent to expound the virtues of MZX to the ZZTers; most of us are happy with our crappy GCS from 1991 and your pleas will fall onto deaf ears.
* If someone upsets your very important feelings and you decide to leave forever until you come back, please announce your departure on the boards before going, giving a verbose description of why you are leaving (this will never happen).
* Only post in each forum if you have something relevant to say; talking about music in a videogame forum is NOT VERY STUPID CONSIDERING YOU MIGHT BE A NEWBIE, but is still against the rules. If there's a thread already devoted to a topic, use that instead of posting a new thread- doing so usually means a gentle warning before a gentle locking the next time, and never a brusque redirection by a moderator. If there is a thread devoted to said topic that's long dead, please feel free to resurrect it.
* Avatars are good. However, abusive or explicitly pornographic avatars (for those of you who remember, think of Tyrannous' infamous ejaculating "evocation" avatar) are not, and will be changed, although you won?t get banned or ridiculed until your skin starts to itch.
* Coloured (or colored) fonts in posts are horri?uh we mean ?questionable?.
* You CAN "img src" link to images on these boards, but don't overdo it. Porn is not a good idea- if you just HAVE to link to tubgirl or something else gross, just a link will do. Images in sigs are not allowed.
* FishIg is dead. Please don't try to revive it.
* Ban evaders DO NOT EXIST, because we rightfully manage our forums.
* And of course, the most important rule, one that applies to every message board ever; TRY NOT TO ACT LIKE AN IDIOT because there is no need for it.
* IF YOU TALKIN BOUT MONEY NIGGA I AIN'T CONCERNED
* evocative
* Stop editing my posts. It's like I'm writing well and you have to come along and spoil it.
* Smoke weed every day
* CHICKS WITH DICKS ARE TWICE THE FUN
* I'm fuckin bitches
* Surrounded by riches
* Cum on your mother's pillow
* Liars go to hell
* So does Tyrannous

Tyrannous could try a little harder to not sound like Tyrannous when he evades banning.
