Help yourself.

let's everyone drop a lude.

pardon?

Okay, I worked on a "post" for warnable offenses. Let me know what needs to be flushed out (I know the harrassment one does), and if you see any errors that need to be fixed.

Below is a list of warnable offenses. Depending upon the severity of your action, your warning may be anywhere from 10% on up to 20 or 30. However, we must warn you that in most cases, if you push enough buttons, you won't have to worry about getting to 100% as you will be banned long before that.

Warnable Offenses

1. Hotlinking

Also known as direct-linking, or leeching, hotlinking is when you take an image from a website (for instance, Victoria's Secret) and copy the url of their image, then post it on a forum such as BZ, using the image tags with their url, so it ends up looking like:

[img]vs url here[/img]

When you do this, you are stealing the bandwidth away from Victoria's Secret which then ups their server bill as they have to pay for their bandwith.

2. Posting Nudity

Posting of nudity as thumbnails, or as links without warnings will result in a warning. You don't get a first chance to make this mistake. In regards to Playboy, we ask that for the most part you do not post anything from this magazine as it is considered pornography (which the posting of is against the rules of this board) and the "models" in Playboy are not considered to be the type who should be making an appearence on this board. However, in regards to pictures from actual models/actresses (an example being Jessica Alba), as long as warnings are posted, clearly stating where the image came from and the content, you should be fine.

3. Harrassment/Flaming

The harrassment or flaming of members and mods is NOT allowed on this board, period. Harrassment or flaming could be calling people inappropriate names, instigating fights on purpose, "stalking" members about the board, getting into arguments that flood the board with inappropirate content, etc.

4. Offensive Material

The posting of offensive/inappropriate material will result in an immediate warning, and perhaps greater consequenses. Images of mutliation, the killing of people or animals, gore, porn, etc are not to be posted. With or without a warning.

5. Ignoring/Disobeying BZ Staff

If a mod or admin requests that you do (or do not do) something, please follow their request. For example, if a mod edits your signature, please do not remove their text and place the same image back in. This goes for general posts as well. Do not replace images after the staff removes them, do not edit out messages and thumbnail something again if we have requested that it be textlinked, etc.

The list above is more or less what we ask that people avoid. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, please contact a mod/admin or post a question to Site and Forum.

So no one has anything to add/say about this? Because if that's the case, I say we let Meghan post this....pronto.

I'd say post it.

I think about the avatar and signature edits ,there is no need to stay mods or admins text's in there if the person correct that...

yeah IF they correct that. But i've seen people put in the same image (i.e. same size) back. I believe that is what Meghan is saying.

Oh I misuderstood...

it's ok. sorry if i came off harsh

I think the only real problem with it is the Harrassment/Flaming area. I just can't think of anything to add to that even though it feels that it needs more.

where's capt snow? i'm sure he'd find something useful to say for that one

it's ok. sorry if i came off harsh

Harsh No way

add something like post the right stuff in its respectful place only

I forgot about that. Okay, I'll go edit it.

Here it is edited with a few of the suggestions that were given. Any more? If not, I'll put it up in rules and conventions and announce it.

Do not replace images after the staff removes them, do not edit out messages and thumbnail something again if we have requested that it be textlinked, etc. Also, a mod may as you to move something you've posted into another forum. Please do so without argument. Advertisements belong in the thread specifically titled advertisements, not editorials or general clothing for example. If you have a question, or do not know what something is, either post it in Miscellaneous, or ask a mod/admin for help before posting.

6. Trolling

Pretending to be someone you are not, be it a model, actor, actress, or one of the Staff of the forum will not get you a warning, it will get you an automatic ban. Trolling will result in a warning, and any further trouble will be dealt with accordingly.

The list above is more or less what we ask that people avoid. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, please contact a mod/admin or post a question to Site and Forum.
