Bakgrund Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Why is this not a thing? It should be illegal to not have written rules for forums... There are only rules in great below which pretty much tells us to use common sense. Where's the rules for the rest of the forum? How should the user know what's allowed and not allowed to do? You might say that common sense is the best rule but in the end rules will always help, especially when you try to appeal your ban or similar. Just to give an example i got a warning point for "topic bumping" or something stupid like that, it was just a normal post in a thread that hasn't been posted in for a while. How can i possibly know that i'm not allowed to post in old topics if they are not locked? This just makes my brain hurt. Also when you register on the forums the user is prompted to read and accept the terms, when you click the terms nothing happen, at least remove that button if the forums don't have any rules.

The Radiated Banana Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 People would still be breaking the rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakgrund Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 People would still be breaking the rules But then they should know better and have no reason to get unbanned, you should atleast inform the user about what's ok to do and what is not ok to do.

Happy Balloon Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I feel you, I got a warning point for "unnecessary posting", even though there are no written rules >:c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex From Security Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 IP Board has an addon that has a rules page and one that you agree to when you sign up. That, along with a global chat on the front page would make the experience awesome. Perhaps a skin too but Im cool with blue and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teeird Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I thought the rule sheet was in the GB that was global to the whole forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woifi The Viking Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Well we tried it without rules but common sense. Apparantly that's too difficult..... The rules should be: 1.) Think with common sense, don't do anything what would dissatisfies admins or you will be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
