2. You have no proof that he hasn't, shut up before you start.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with this one. I've said I've AAAd Uber Rave (and I did), and people believed me without my having to produce a screenshot. So no, you don't need to provide proof, just be truthful in the first place.

**Cenright** · 12-8-2003, 07:14 PM

Yes Moogy. There are always those that WILL believe you, but the rest wont. This isn't just for you. This is for everyone so that no person ever has to get into a huge argument. Pictures save time. The game saves all your high scores, so even if you can't reproduce a score, you still have it logged.

makaveli121212 · 12-8-2003, 07:35 PM

i think this forum should have no rules...its a way of expressing yourself...if that means calling people gay, or postwhoring, or flaming so be it...no one can take away your free speech, but only to a certain extent can you be obnoxious cause then youll get banned...half of the fun here is getting into arguements, it just gives everyone a chance to showcase their wit...or lack there of...

seriously though if i wanted to start a thread about banning gay marriage, would i be breaking the rules...i guess we cant talk about that becasue its offending...i guess we cant talk about welfare becuase it will offend the poor...i guess i cant talk about my new stereo because someone else here cant afford one...i guess it isnt okay to post my highscores becasue it will make other lesser players feel jealous...seriously only one person can control the forums, and there is no reason to change things dramtically...these boards are a safehaven for thr youths, specifically americas youth, but thier are others here i know...well whatev, im running out of things to say here

Lupin_the_3rd · 12-8-2003, 07:38 PM

...but who wants to be a part of a forum so harsh and uncontrolled?

makaveli121212 · 12-8-2003, 07:46 PM

uncontrolled you mean democratic and free, with all these mods and admins locking everything its more socialist than capitalist around here (tkae into account that i am exaggerating)...plus uncontrolled forums are what make them great, anything goes, you dont like it, dont post...the problem is people ruining serious topics...my proposal is to have a serious discussion forum...and people like me and anti can be banned from their becasue we dont take part in that kinda crap

Anticrombie0909 · 12-8-2003, 08:16 PM

If this was a completely democratic, talk-about-whatever-the-hell-you-want forum, then it would be. But this isn't supressing freedom of speech, its simply trying to put down some guidelines so our forums don't turn into a complete gladatorial deathmatch.

Exactly.

And by signing up for the forums, if you read the terms of service, you gave up some of your freedom to post. By posting, that means, when you post, you are to follow the guidelines. When posting you do not have that liberty as you would talking in a discussion in real life. Like the gamefaqs board rules say:

"If you don't like it start your own forums, on your own bandwidth, with your own money, and your own rules."

1. You argue against forum rules while allowing some of the words in your post previous to this one to be censored. That's a forum rule too.

2. Capitalism is an economic ideal, not a social/political one. I don't think anyone's economic stance around here matters, do you?

3. Mods are locking threads that have degenerated in to useless crap or there is no more reason to keep the thread open (such as someone asking a specific question and it has already been answered in the thread)

4. Listed in this thread aren't RULES, they're guidelines for etiquette. Nobody is forcing you to follow these, we're simply requesting it in order to make the forums a more enjoyable place for everybody. To me every "rule" of etiquette that's been said seems like common sense, but some people don't seem to have as good of a grasp on common sense as I do, and thus this thread was born

1) what the hell does that have to do with anything

2) capitalism is an idea of social standing

3) mods are locking threads people are posting on, if people are posting frequently on a certain thread, obviously people are enjoying it so why lock it? just to piss people off

4) Well if they arent rules they shouldnt have been called rules iin the thread name, adn if you really think youre gonna get people to follow your requests then youre insane

1. I'd care a lot more about being censored than I would about someone asking me to be nice personally, that's what.

2.

3. Take that up with the mods, I don't know what rules they have for locking threads

4. Sadly enough, common decency is nearly impossible to find on the internet. I personally don't expect people to follow what's in this thread, but we can still try

VxDx · 12-9-2003, 03:16 PM

This is the most worthless idea ever. Why not just have no one post about anything. Rules that need to be in place are (ie no spam, no ads, no porn), but all your ideas just reduce the forum to utter blandness.

Do you want this forum to be like a gentleman's club? Do you want to no be able to say things that you have an opinion on for fear that you will offend someone? You are too uptight about what is and isn't acceptable. Everyone knows when someone says something dumb, and so no one seriously listens. You don't need a rule banning it. These forums work just like society, the less administration the better (within reason). People will go about their e-lives happily if they don't feel they are being oppressed. If they do feel they are, that's when people resort to annoying activities like needless flaming and postwhoring.

makaveli121212 · 12-9-2003, 05:40 PM

people live e-lives so they dont need to be oppressed by everyday society...and for your censoring...

Quote:

Bobby: Stop posting idiot, your acting gay.
Jerry: Judging by your response, you're what? 13?
Johnny: Omg, Jerry, you're such a freakin' PMSin' bitch. Take some Midol and get over it.

A. Bobby, don't call people #$*, we have some #$* posters on this forum, and it may be offensive.

B. Jerry, who cares if he is 13, you're acting less mature than he is by saying that. Maturity>Age. Period.

C. Johnny, who the hell cares if Jerry is a female, she can't help it, and you're acting like a sexist biast male by saying that. We as a forum should neither be sexist, nor biast.

4. Whether or not you can AAAAA Ice Climb with your face on 8x 2.0 Music Speed with Random Shuffle Quick Reverse Drunk Boost Stealth Fade, DOES NOT MATTER. This also applies for Reach's mom.

5. No one cares that you like (insert type of food). Randomly inserting comments like these into posts is postwhoring. If you like pie, great, we don't care. If you really like pie, go post on some pastry forums.

Remember these five simple forum etiquette rules, and 95% of Moronic Flames will be turned into INTELLIGIBLE DEBATES, and/or ACTUAL VALID RESPONSES.

There. End. Done. Sticky it.

hey, i like you. finally, someone has said what i've been thinking about. (you just beat me to posting this). your absoulty right about everything you wrote, age, sex, sexual preference , religion , spelling, grammar. none of this s hit should matter here. im glad someone has finally brought this up! thanx Alkaiser88.

Makaveli just demonstrated the prime reason why it would be good to have rules.

**Cenright** · 12-9-2003, 06:34 PM

VxDx and makaveli:

Don't you guys understand that all your selfish comments are not wanted. You guy solve nothing because you both act like infantile egomaniacs. Go play the game. A lot of us don't want you here. You guys are the kind of people who, when there is a burning building, you would trample little children getting out instead of helping them. Play the game, but please stay out of everyones way.

VxDx · 12-9-2003, 06:40 PM

Because your opinion matters...

Sorry if I sound like a fucktard here, but I have to say it...

PWNED! And from Cenright, too! Nice Pwn there, Cen.

Makaveli wasn't bad at all, really, until he started teaming up with VxDx...

We could ask around to make it clearer, but at least for me, I respect Cenright more than a lot of people on this forum. Most people, actually. He's the one person around here that doesn't flame incessantly, gives actually intelligent comments and doesn't spam, and on top of that makes avs for everybody. I'd say his opinion matters a lot.

VxDx · 12-9-2003, 07:02 PM

Not to me it doesn't, not when he states things that make no sense (ie where he came up with selfish comments and infantile egomaniacs) I mean, in a thread where it says that any flame should be backed up and I just state an opinion that insults no one and he retorts with baseless name calling, how could you respect his opinion?
