Serious Discussion Rules.

[Mookster]

This section has always been a favorite of mine, moreso for the fact that most of you have respect for the higher standard many of us feel this board should be held up to.


Now, for those of you who don't, I'm pleased to provide you with some guidelines to help you along with that.

• Do not flame in this board. Often times, topics here get heated because they border on people's beliefs. Sometimes posts get colorful, that's fine; don't let the topic change to the person you're debating with.
• Do not spam in this board. I can't stress that enough; you will be infracted.
• Do not play the role of a moderateur imposter here. If someone says something retarded, don't fuel their off-topic post with another.
• Do not post in only a "disapprove/approve" manner. If you want to commend a post with your own personal seal of approval, use the reputation system.
• When you're attempting to agree with or disprove a point someone has made, do so in such a manner that you expand the argument. Back up your opinions so we don't end up with page long "no u's."
• If something is tragic, or interesting, or whatever the ****, we already know. No one wants to read through 3 pages of commentary. It might not be spam, but it's close enough, and you will be punished for it.
• This board is also in line with the general forum rules, but to higher scrutiny. Don't disrespect the staff here, don't post off topic, don't insult other members, don't post referral links, etc etc.

Bottem line is, this board is meant to be held to a higher standard than the others; create topics and post accordingly or you will be infracted.
