[Ascor]

I cared not much but a bit about all this gravedigging.
In last time i thought much like:
"Why New-People always Gravedigg this thread..."
"why New-People gravedigg?"
it's nonsense
probably noone will reply this old thread
so stop it

Okay guys, sorry for reviving old thread but I made a "new" and a lot shorter explanation about the Forum Rules. Only for newcomers here.

Rule 1 (Click to View)

Rule 1: No Spamming
No double, triple or more posts in a row, random-typing, multi threads, random question, off-topic stuff and whatever... Keep it clean.
Spamming includes unnecessary and irrelevant comments such as "I agree." "wow cool" etc.

If you just want to comments like "cool I like it", PLEASE MAKE IT LONGER THAN JUST ONE LINE. Don't double or triple post in any thread unless it's your thread.

Rule 2 (Click to View)

Rule 2: No Profanity or Sexual and/or Illegal Content
That means no unacceptable language, wares or porn and anything related to it in all forums.

That means don't post nude pictures or whatever, don't insult anyone here, and DO NOT make a topic about illegal softwares (like cracks, key generator warez etc).

Rule 3 (Click to View)

Rule 3: Ettiquette
It was your wish to join this forum, so behave in a good way and don't insult any members.If you break one of these three rules continually you'll be banned!

It's clear.
Don't understand = Read it again and again.

Rule 4 (Click to View)

Rule 4: No Multi Account
Don't create more then one account! If you created two accounts inadvertently while registering, just contact us, we'll merge or delete the second one and nothing happens. But if we find out you have more then one account you'll get into trouble and may also be banned!!!

It means that if you make more than one account but NOT BY ACCIDENT, never ever do it. If it's by accident, then contact one of the moderators.

Rule 5 (Click to View)

Rule 5: English only
The Forum is English! No other languages are allowed, for the sake of comprehension.

It's clear. Speak English here except if you know somebody who speaks the same language as yours, PMing him/her is not prohibited.

Rule 6 (Click to View)

Rule 6: No reviving old Topics
Please don't post into very old threads unless it's meaningful and very relevant. In such a case, if it is archived, create a new one, post and link to the old thread.

As the rule said, don't revive old threads except it's your own thread.

Rule 7 (Click to View)

Rule 7: No Plagiarism
Taking or using the work of others without receiving permission and/or crediting the original author is strictly prohibited. All creations containing the work of others must include a readme with credits to the original creators. If you make a character and use sprites or data that were made by an unknown author, then you still must acknowledge that some of the work is not your own. LFE will not host any creations containing stolen work and members who plagiarise may be banned.

As you can see, if you take someone's work, you must contact him/her so you can receive permission or allowed to use the work. You must also credit the author in your creation's "readme".

Rule 8 (Click to View)

Rule 8: Website Search first!
Please search through the website before you post. Why? Most stuff is already explained there and I want to avoid questions like "What's the cheat of LF2?" . This rule is very important and many people used to ignore it.

Before asking something, SEARCH first. If you don't find the answer, search again and again then post if the result is zero.

Rule 9 (Click to View)

Rule 9: Forgot to [Solve]
In order to reduce the time people waste by seeing an already solved thread which isn't marked as such, the author will be warned for not clicking the [Solve]-button at the bottom of his thread.

If you make a question thread, your problem is answered and you don't want to ask anymore questions click the "Solve" button.

Rule 10 (Click to View)

Rule 10: Excessive Color Formatting
Having multiple themes creates the problem with the colors of posts. The color change is just for emphasizing parts, not the entire post, so please refrain from doing so.

Well, this is really important in making tutorials, just color the unimportant font to be neutral and the important ones colored (blue, green red etc)

Rule 11 (Click to View)

Rule 11: Unauthorized Usage of Story Profiles
Do not use people's character profiles in your stories if they explicitly forbid so. This can be viewed as theft and will be treated as such.

For more information about story profiles refer to >this thread<, or this. Also this thread is a reference to story profiles.

Rule 12 (Click to View)

Rule 12: Code-Posts
Posting a lot of code leads to gigantic posts and gets really hard to read. Instead, use the [code]-tags. Even better is the usage of [code=dc] in case you ask a DCing-question as it will apply syntax highlighting like you're used from the Data-Changer.

Yep MH described it clearly.

Rule 13 (Click to View)

Rule 13: Spelling / Grammar
For whatever reason, people tend to say everything in one sentence and do not really care about the spelling. An example of such a post would be: "hello i want to now y i been warned for sumthing liek bad spelling or gr4mm4r". Many members are not native English speakers and experience big problems reading it. It's better to check if your post content is free from any mistakes.

Well, using a bit short spelling is fine (e.g "sry", "u") but DON'T always type like that.

Rule 14 (Click to View)

Rule 14: Exceeded Signature
Please keep your signature under 150 pixels in size, including text. If it's a bit more then please make sure you don't exceed it too far, large signatures are very annoying.
Also, please refrain from using animated signatures, especially large ones, as they do take a good bit to load and can make the forum unenjoyable for some people to browse.

Some people still use dial-up modems and it will be very annoying if you use a too big signature. If you want to do that, keep it in .png format so the size is smaller.

Rule 15 (Click to View)

Rule 15: "Help"-Thread
The reason for a thread-title is to give a rough and quick overview of the problem. Instead of using such non-descriptive titles such as "Help" or "Problem", be a little more specific.

Example like if you have a itr: kind 8 problem use title like "itr kind 8 problem" instead of "help".

Rule 16 (Click to View)

Rule 16: Behave well in IRC
General etiquette also applies in the IRC. Do not offend others and you'll be fine.

Means if you're in IRC obey all of the rules like in the announcements.

Feel free to report rule-breaking posts, and the staff will take care of them.

Have a nice day,

EDIT: ZOMG my post is really big! Anyway...

...

Don't get me wrong, but I consider your post to be categorizable as 'spam'.
You're just re-phrasing the Forum Rules, which is unneeded and doesn't bring anything useful to the thread.

[Taniaetc]

Yeah but some newcomers here are non-English speakers and they may find it hard to understand the rules so I just posted here.
