GUFU Golden Rule

Don't be a jerk. What? No that's really it - no essay from me. Respect your fellow GUFU.

-

Basic Guidelines

There are four reasons why members will get kicked:

1) It's turning into a flame war.
ex: "I hate you subrosian, you're an arrogant prick!"

2) It's a topic about something that will get members (or the union) in trouble.
ex: "So I got all these ExampleSystem ROMS off of www.examplewebsite.com"

ex: "So I was banging this really hot chick last night, check out these pics!"

3) It's an advertisement or recruitment drive for another union, UCB, et cetera.
ex: "You need to all come over to my new union, the Fanboy Zone, it's way better than GUFU!"

4) None of these rules apply after 11 pm.

Feel free to do the following:

ex: "I hate you Locke, you're an arrogant prick!"

ex: "So I got all these ExampleSystem ROMS off of www.examplewebsite.com"

ex: "You need to all come over to my new union, the Fanboy Zone, it's way better than GUFU!"

ex: "So I was banging this really hot chick last night, check out these pics!"

Officers are required to post their reasons for kicking a member within five minutes of doing so. We generally try to PM the offendor, but if we don't, please PM us so we can give you a decent explanation. PM is a great way to make sure everyone can say their side, without flame wars occuring on the message board.

The Share and Share Alike Rule-

All the officers should not hide things from the members. IRC chats are free to share if a user wants to see it for whatever reason. This rule basically means that if a user wants to know something, they should ask us.

So basically, please ask if you have any questions. We are not afraid to answer them.

Stickied, we need new members to know we have an IRC.

Now we need those new members...
