Ways to Piss a Mod Off

• Tell someone to "fuck off" or "go die" - and nothing else. Whether at random, or just because they made a mistake, stupid as it may be.
• Posting messages with little or no potential for discussion.
• Post news articles without adding any commentary of your own.
• Act like a forum mod when you're not one.
• Issue mods commands via the report button. E.g., "this poster is guilty of necromancy. Ban him."
• Flame new people when you're a hopeless retard yourself.
• Post pimp threads, such as "hlp me get a new ipod pls".
• Gang up and be hostile towards newbies. Even if they make a mistakes and we were all noobs at some point.
• One line replies, THEY are annoying, don't go and say "Aah, this is awesome" and that's it, go and SAY WHY.
• Make a sock puppet account to talk to yourself. (You'd really have to be lame to do this..)
• Post sarcastic idiocy or flames in CAPS LOCK or something of that nature. [Flaming in General (Unless its just for fun) will get you banned from the site permantley, not just the forums, the WHOLE SITE.
• No necro posting, necro posting is when you bump a really old thread for no reason and you don't have any new information or meaningul information to promote the thread. This rule doesn't apply to the debate section / spam section.
• Use an online quiz image as sig; they're usually too big.
• Create an intro thread --> E.g. "hi i'm new!"
• Get pissed off when a mod locks one of your threads.
• Talk completely in another language that isn't English (I don't mind people talking in other languages, but please make it only one line max, otherwise talk in the other language and put a translation below)
• Put totally meaningless posts in the forum
• Spamming, say for example the thread is talking about anime, and you put "I love cars" that is spam [If you want to spam go in the spam section ]
• READ at least the start and the end of a post before posting, if someone is talking about an idea at the start and the idea has been scrapped at the end of the thread after some discussion, putting your input in on the idea as you didn't read the end of the thread is OFF TOPIC and will be considered as spam.
• Don't put ads to other sites, [ NO Putting ads for other sites here, if you want to get traffic go and apply for affliation ! Or get 25 posts and post a message in our "Ad" section]

• Not listening to the Category rules (Some categories have rules that the mods have set up, yes there is a reason so read these rules before posting, most of these rules are just common sense, but it's good to be on the safe side.)

• No Warez (apps, porn, cracks, hacking tools, music, (except Anime related)..etc.).

• No hentai / pr0n pictures [no problem with ecchi though ^_^] etc..

• No Usercash links, if you add them here, they will either be unconverted, or we just won't add them.

And use the SEARCH function before posting!!!

Infraction system :
I've configured the infraction system, moderators will now use this system when a user breaks a rule. This is a point system, when you have a certain ammount of points, you'll get a ban, the bans are AUTOMATIC. These points expire after a certain ammount of time.

Insulted Other Member(s) = > 1 point (10 days)
Inappropriate Language => 1 point (10 days)
Multi Posting in non spam area => 2 points (2 weeks)
Spammed Advertisements => 3 points (2 weeks)
Spam posts => 3 points (1 month)
Speed posting / spam to get rapidshare account / into a closed area => 4 points (1 month)
Flaming or trolling => 5 points (1 month)

Automatic bans.
7 points => 3 day ban
10 points => 2 week ban
14 points => Life time ban


These rules a fairly strict, but they have been put into place so the whole forum doesn't become complete spam. As you can see, this is the type of system that's made so that you can make mistakes, sure, we'll warn you and give you an infraction, but if you do the same thing again, you'll get a ban.

another "way to piss the mod off" ^^, nah nah, I'm doubt this will work perfectly as we want cuz not all the mod like to do more job. Beside that though we have >1k members, infact there aren't that many members active on this forum......

just some opinion:
+ post link in [code], this is the most important, in every post.
+ Whatever thread was started by member or staff led to an argument should be closed.
+ Signature limits: about size, and a signature cannot contains any URL links to a blog or forum unless it is to your personal blog.

O yeah that gets me mad. Links for the site posted in code and host sites that are not in English. Ive been getting a few of those and I just deleted em cuz I couldn't read em.

BTW This is new when did it go into effect I was gone when It was posted. Should I watch out for offenders in the uploader section? since I mod there?
