Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted May 13, 2008 Root Admin Posted May 13, 2008 http://www.westernslopeanglers.com/forum I found it googling something the other day. Joined and before you make your first post, you have to agree to their rules. They put alot of thought into these rules!! And the point system... now that would be a job in itself keeping track of them. And what do you think about the Leper Colony! Oh- we could have fun with that!! Who needs points... I'll just throw whoever I feel like throwing into the Leper Colony. Be careful! [1]Western Slope Anglers is a spam free forum. If you register with the hopes of somebody on here purchasing Viagra or helping you unload money from a Nigerian bank, you have come to the wrong place. [2]Western Slope Anglers desires to be a troll free forum. An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who intentionally posts controversial or contrary messages in an online community such as an online discussion forum with the intention of baiting users into an argumentative response. If you have registered on this forum only to argue and create unrest, you have come to the wrong place. [3]Western Slope Anglers does not allow the posting or proliferation of pornography or any other subject matter relating to pornography. Disgusting pictures or other subject matter that you would find on Rotten.com will also not be allowed. If you are here to show us naked pictures of your wife, dog, or great grandma, you have come to the wrong place. [4]Respect the Moderators and Admin. The moderating team is here to provide a safe and orderly environment to allow for the enjoyment of all users. They are not here to pick on you or your posts. Please do not harass or intentionally annoy the moderators. If they ask you to do something, please do it. If you have a problem or a disagreement with a moderator, PM them. [5]Flaming. The definition of flaming is as follows. Flaming is the hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users. An Internet user typically generates a flame response to other posts or users posting on a site, and is usually not constructive, does not clarify a discussion, and does not persuade others. Sometimes, flamers attempt to assert their authority, or establish a position of superiority over other users. Other times, a flamer is simply an individual who believes he or she carries the only valid opinion. This leads him or her to personally attack those who disagree. Occasionally, flamers wish to upset and offend other members of the forum, in which case they are trolls. Most often however, flames are angry or insulting messages transmitted by people who have strong feelings about a subject. Some equate flaming with simply letting off steam, though the receiving party may be less than pleased. Similarly, a normal, non-flame message may have elements of a flame -- it may be hostile, for example -- but it is not a flame if its author seriously intends to advance the discussion. The word flaming is also sometimes used for long, intensive and heated discussions, even though insults do not occur. Flaming is a part of any forum and cannot be completely moderated at all times. Flaming can also be viewed subjectively in a way that one person's feelings are hurt but somebody else may not feel the same way. The moderators will try their best to minimize flaming but cannot control it entirely. If somebody is passionate about a topic and provides reasons for their stance, then it cannot be completely viewed as flaming. Responses such as "you are an idiot" will be viewed as flaming. Insults will be viewed as flaming also. Do not insult other members of this board. If you have a problem with another member of the forum, please initiate discussion via a private message or e-mail before you report it to the moderating team. [6]Do not use inappropriate avatars, signatures, or custom titles. [7]Threats of physical violence will not be tolerated whatsoever even if you are just joking. We all live in a very close proximity to each other and this type of action will not be tolerated. [12]Keep your account information private. Do not allow others to log in under your account. Your password is yours and yours alone. Anything posted under your username is your responsibility. Violations of these rules can range from a warning all the way up to a full ban. In place currently is an infraction procedure for any rule breaking. You have a maximum allowable number of points for a certain period of time. Exceed the set number of points and consequences follow. First Column is the offense. 2nd column is the points received. 3rd column is how long the points stay on you until they reset. Each infraction will extend the duration. Violate rule 8 twice and there will be a 2 points deduction and 6 days on your record. After 3 days, 1 point will be deducted. After the next 3 day period, the other point will be deducted bringing you back down to 0 pts. Rule 8 Violation - 1 pt - Duration 3 days Rule 2 Violation - 3 pts - Duration 5 days Rule 1 Violation - 3 pts - Duration 5 days Rule 5 Violation - 5 pts - Duration 8 days Rule 3 Violation - 5 pts - Duration 8 days Rule 6 Violation - 5 pts - Duration 8 days Rule 7 Violation - 10 pts - Duration 10 days Rule 4 Violation - 20 pts - Never Rule 11 Violation - 20 pts - Never If you amass the following points against you the following things will happen. Once the specified amount of time has passed to deduct points from your record, this will be changed. 10 points at one time. You will receive permissions from the I Haven't Posted Yet usergroup. Your viewing ability will be very limited. 11 points at one time You will be moved to the "Leper Colony" and suspended for 2 days. 15 points at one time You will be moved to the "Leper Colony" and suspended for 4 days. 20 points at one time You will be moved to the "Leper Colony" forever. Leper Colony means banned. The current rules are easy to follow and shouldn't be a problem for most of you. Thanks, WSA Management
Kayser Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Good system. Just wish I knew what Rules 8-11 were... Rob WARNING!! Comments to be interpreted at own risk. Time spent fishing is never wasted.
Terry Beeson Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Hey Rusty... It's a badge of honor and a right of passage to be banned from that particular forum of which you speak... Good set of rules... "Please do not harass or intentionally annoy the moderators." Does that mean I get banned for three days every time I post? Hey... It's FUN to harass and annoy Dano and Phil...
