Neoseeker is a place for fun and to chit chat about your favourite things. However, there are a small few who think it is funny to break rules and that's where Moderators come in. There is no reason that makes breaking the rules acceptable. It is not big, and it is not clever, so stick to them and enjoy the forum the same as everyone else.
Here is a simplistic version of the Neoseeker Site Rules:
- Spamming:
Spamming is basically pointless posts. This can vary from a completely off topic post:
quoteMember: I painted my toenails red today. To simply putting no effort into making conversation:
quoteMember: Don't use Blaziken, it sucks. I will also count one or two worded posts as spam and will be dealt with. "Well done" and "It sucks" is not useful input to a conversation or work. Instead try expanding on your opinion, so they can respond with their opinion or improving their work. Spamming frequently (Three times in a week,) will result you in a week long ban. Continue to spam at this rate will result in longer bans.
- Flaming:
Flaming is offencive use of language and I will not tolerate it whatsoever. Insulting other members of the forum is not encouraging and not pleasant at all. The use of flaming can range from childish insults:
quoteMember: Shut up, your Mum smells funny. To vulgar language:
quoteMember: *Bleep* off you *Bleep* idiot noob, no one *Bleep*ing wants you here! Flaming once results you in a week long ban. Flaming twice then I will request a permanent ban.
- Less known (but no less important) rules on Neoseeker:
Memberating: My job on this forum is to delete the rubbish and teach you lot how to behave in the forum. It is against the rules to take care of it yourself. I am the one who should judge what is wrong and what isn't in this forum, taking a situation into your own hands by berating a member for a mistake and/or something they have done of which you feel is wrong. Instead, simply click the button and I will see to it as soon as possible. Leaving a message after you have done so is Memberating:
quoteMember 1: I like Pie! Member 2: That is spam, you shouldn't do it in these forums. Unless you wish to provide a link to the person, the only right thing to do is to report them. Links should be friendly and welcoming, and make sure you report it too so I know your intentions were correct. Memberating frequently (Three times in a week,) will result you in a week long ban. Continue to memberate at this rate will result in longer bans.
Game Threads: They need my say so first, only use them if my approval has been given. It will usually be shown with a tag under the thread's name.
Double Posts: Pretty self explanatory. Don't do it, use the edit button instead. However, there are cases in this forum where it is acceptable. Bumps to Fanfictions, Comics and Roleplays only are allowed if they have content in them. Posts with just "Bump!" are allowed until a reader or contributor posts, and then you should delete the "Bump" Post straight away.
Flooding: Posting on every thread in sight can be seen as spamming. Raising your post count is not a reason to post. I shall deal with it if I catch you doing so.
Advertising: It's a big no-no. You agreed to not do so when you joined up to Neoseeker, and so you should stick to it, or suffer the consequences. Links to other sites should be asked for approval. Without approval I shall delete the message. Links however, are allowed in your signatures and Neohomes.
Offensive Material: It was touched upon on the 'Flaming' rule. Offensive material can range from pictures, to insults, to jokes. Where intended to be offensive or not, it is not acceptable.
ROMs/Emulators: It is illegal to own these and should not be talked about on this site at all.
Frequently breaking any of these rules will result in a varied time ban. I shall decide depending on which you have done.
