Incidentally, as part of this procedural change, no rules were added, but one was removed: It is now NO LONGER a permabannable offense to pretend to be a permabanned player.

It will still be considered an offense, though.

New rule modification: Embedded shock is now allowed in RP forums ONLY. There are options to change how you see embedded images.

Site rules updated.

• New section for Tubmail rules added.

• New rules for Contests Forum added.

• Links to definitions of trolling, shock and mini-modding added.

The rule against posting personal information has been refined and clarified.

In addition, that same page now mentions community versus site bans. As we continue to refine this new functionality and get feedback, we will update the relevant sections in the KB.

We have clarified the section on stickied threads. Since a new rule hasn’t been instated, we’re not considering it a real update.

1): STICKIES

Threads are stickied for a reason. When posting in sticky threads, even in RP, you MUST stay reasonably on-topic. Although you may flame other players or post NSFW content, do not spam the thread or post text or images which do not directly relate to the thread’s original purpose.

For example, don’t post Goatse in a stickied camwhore RP thread (unless the picture is of you in the Goatse position), or frolicking Care Bears in a stickied shock pic RP thread (unless you’re asking someone to make Goatse-fied versions of them). Note that in Civil Discussion, the normal forum rules still apply.

Basically, the idea is to try to enforce actual RPing in stickied RP threads. Time will tell as to how practical this is.

Couple new rules for INCIT: No spamming the chat (which should be obvious, but I threw it in there) and no spamming the entries themselves.

2) Do not spam INCIT’s chat.

3) Do not vandalize INCIT by spamming the game itself. This means deliberately submitting nonsensical words or strings of text that are unrelated to the image generated.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

Based on discussions we’ve had with other players, INCIT’s rules have been clarified and extended, specifically in regards to votewhoring and plagiarism:

INCIT RULES

1) Do not commit voting fraud. This includes any action on your part to solicit votes for or against any particular submission; you should not even indicate or hint that a given submission belongs to you or another player, whether in chat or within the submission itself.

2) Do not spam INCIT’s chat.

3) Do not vandalize INCIT by spamming the game itself. This means deliberately submitting gibberish, illegible strings of text, or non-sequiturs that are clearly unrelated to the image generated. These are considered “dump” entries, which have the effect of spoiling or derailing the game.

(Note: If you are unable to come up with a good idea within the time allotted, it is sometimes best to wait until the next round. Keep in mind the submission period will continue to extend until five entries are received. If you are concerned that your entry might be considered spam, it is advisable not vote that round to avoid accidentally winning due to the “dumpvoting” strategy.)

4) Do not plagiarize or copy previously submitted entries, including your own. This can mean copying well-known entries that have won before; copying other people’s submissions from previous rounds; or simply resubmitting the same entry (or variations of the same entry) regardless of relevance.

OFFICIAL UPDATE

The following rules have been added to the Miscellaneous section.

3) If a user is known to be willfully hurting Forumwarz.com or its related properties, even outside the site itself, it is within the administrators’ discretion to ban the offending party from the community or site.

4) Posting libel with malicious intent in bumociation with a player’s real name is not cool. It goes beyond the realm of role-playing and enters the realm of defamation. That is unacceptable behavior on this or any forum.

Please remember that this thread is considered “locked” and should not be used for questions or discussion. Any non-moderator posts will be deleted.

The site rules now take into account the Advanced Role-Playing (ARP) forum.

Basically, it’s a role-playing forum where you have to post in character. Embedded shock is also not allowed in ARP — we’re trying to promote creativity and originality, not the ability to press Ctrl-V.
