Do you know your TOU?

I still get suprised that I'm still learning on this board. I recently found out there are sublte differences the way you post in System Wars than you would OT even if the rules are the same. So, no I don't fully understand the TOU. Do you?

Did you just get moderated or something? I don't know. I think I've got the idea on how to avoid moderations. Don't feed trolls and don't eat spam. :P

all i need to know is

Porn=bad
drugs=bad
trolling=bad
spam=bad
advertising=bad

is that good enough:D

Do I know the ToU? Yes. But that doesn't mean I always follow it :P

No, not one lick of it.

Never read it.

lol-no.

^but I do know that is moddable unless I write a sentence to follow, like this one.

Why yes, I know it front to back :)

dont really know the specifics, but I get the gist of it

It's too vague and elastic for anyone to properly memorize and abide by it.

No way that would happen, we have a great Community Manager in Jody, if we abused our "power" it would be nipped in the bud real quick

Sideways as well :shock: ?..Xx_Hopeless_xX

:lol:

I believe there are hidden rules that nobody knows about, because I often get moderated for rules that don't exist.UT_Wrestler

Well, if it helps, I was recently informed that the moderators can moderate almost anything, with a penalty of their choice.

Not true at all

Did you just get moderated or something? I don't know. I think I've got the idea on how to avoid moderations. Don't feed trolls and don't eat spam. :P

LikeHaterade

Nope, no recent moderation. But I like it here so I try to read the rules when I can.

because that's all caps it's considered disruptivelamprey263

It's clearly stated to post in all caps then it's considered disruptive... knowing that why do it? Do it once you get a warning, do it again it gets worse, whats so hard to understand?

Doesn't matter if you agree or not, it's the rules, follow them or get moderated.

I don't know the ToU word for word but I know the general rules and ideas in it. :D

all i need to know is

Porn=bad
drugs=bad
trolling=bad
spam=bad
advertising=bad

is that good enough:D

The only thing that confuses me a bit and has gotten me into trouble is the use of sarcasm (since it can be interpreted as trolling). I have had to make a lifestyle change of sorts since I am very sarcastic. After a while, you learn the psychodemographic of OT and consequently do not get riled up by certain comments or posts by "veteran" users; you know when they are doing something to have some innocent fun and using hyperbole. I can understand how that can't be tolerated though, since you may instill bad habits and send conflicting messages to new members. Other than that, the ToU are pretty straightforward (regardless of whether or not you agree with the rules).

Being boringly funny gets you modded. Asking exciting questions like "what did yew guise had for dinner last night!?" is OK!.

But seriously ofc until it gets to the point that a certain moderation:

It's too vague and elastic.

(disregard my last blog U_U)

But tbqh I'm a bit tired of all the whining regarding moderations lately. A thread is fine. Two threads are fine but when most threads are about banned ppl, the tou etc. It's like wtf man. |:

Dystopian-X

Nope, never heard of it.

Been coming to the site for 5 years and haven't read the rules yet so should I read the TOU? How long is it?

Eh, I've yet to be moderated. To hell with the ToU, I'm makin' out alright just wingin' it.SmittyPeppers

just wait, pretty soon that gift will be given to you. if your here long enough it might just happen:twisted:

I know the ToU well enough to avoid moderation. Some of the rules are a bit convoluted, but that seems unlikely to change. It annoys me that many of them are written like legal contracts lol.
