[Rules] [Index]Content and consequences

[PortalDark]

Ok, I'll make this clear because of the recent reports/actions


We moderators DO NOT allow post commenting how corrupted a server is. Even if there are proofs.
The reasons is because we cannot take any action against the servers(accusation target). Also we want to ensure the server's integrity to avoid the server get affected due to our boards

Such posts will get labeled as spam and will be deleted.

Action: Thread bumping
Grade: Medium
Consequence: post deleted/user(s) punished
Overview: Any thread that gets early bumped, will have its post removed and punished according to their infraction profile. This works the other way around(bumping very old threads will be punished as well). The time allowed to bump is once 24 hours

Case:Steal thread content
Overview:When a thread's OP uses images, phrases or entire paragraphs from other's thread
Consequence
The thread will be examined with a text comparison tool and if the new thread's content contains similar or same content than another thread, the thread will be closed and the thread's OP will be punished according to their infraction logs

this rule will be active in the next 24 hours to give the thread creators some time to edit their content

Action: DDoS threads/posts
Grade: Very Low
Consequence: post deleted
Overview: Any Post or thread that expresses an intention of DDoS any server will be remove to prevent war threads and and spam commnets. The post/thread will be deleted but since the DDoS happens outside our jurisdiction, thus not in our forum, there is little we can do to prevent/punish the user doing it

Action: Content steal
Grade: Medium
Consequence: post deleted/user(s) punished
Overview:Any thread that uses content from other threads, and I specify:

• Welcome messages
• Pictures
• Videos
• Titles and names*

will be deleted and the user warned according to his infraction status. Any means to post this again will result on a immediate deletion, according to our spam rules and not following a moderator(s) advice. The user that wants to have it's thread undeleted to change it's content, please contact a moderator or if you like, post the thread again, of course, with the changed section.

List of exceptions:

• Similar phrases: if the phrase is similar and doesnt look copy>pasted, it will be ignored
• Titles and names: (*here) Titles that have similar names will be reviewed with the mods, as same titles doesnt really mean same server/owners. We will, however, close the thread if the server is the same that is being advertised.

Case: Advertising your server in the wrong section

Grade: High

Overview: Posting your server in the Discussions section

Consequence: Thread deleted, infraction given on all cases (the difference between the 'Advertisement' section and the 'Discussions' section is easily determined. All threads which are posted in the wrong section are marked are clear knowledgeable violation of rules).
