Controversial Board Rules (Please Read)

[Nightmare]

This Sub-Board is for maturely discussing contreversial topics. Therefore, it requires stricter rules. Read over all the rules carefully before posting in this board.

• No Spamming. Keep this board clean, and make your posts meaningful.
  
  
• No double-posting. If you made a mistake on your post, you simply use the modify button at the upper-right corner of your post.
  
  
• No Flaming. Flaming is offending / fighting other people. I expect disagreement within this board, but for Gods Sake, keep it civil. People caught fighting or needlessly flaming others will be punished.
  
  
• No using strong language. I understand getting worked up in a heated debate, but children visit these boards, and a mature person knows how to control his/her temper.
  
  
• No posting pornographic material. This includes pictures and text. People violating this rule will be banned. Even if pornography is a contreversial subject you wish to touch on in this board, keep pornographic material off Zero Virus, children visit these boards.
  
  
• No posting images or text that break the page. It's very irritating to have to read a page that's been streched, so post links to images that are too big.
  
  
• No leet-speak, lamer talk, or anything of the sort. This board is aimed at intellectual conversation, so speak in proper english, using proper grammar, and make your posts readable. Posts that require an interpreter will be removed.
  
  
• No posting unnecessary topics. This board is only for serious issues and contreversial topics. That does NOT include topics about bitching about things that bug you personally. Do that somewhere else on your own time. I hear Myspace is a good place to be emo.
  
  
  
  
  This board WILL touch on lots of serious topics. If you're afraid of opposition, debate, or anything of the sort, don't post in this board. I expect all of you to act maturely, please don't disappoint me.

Added on to the rules NMMZ posted up there, i have a few of my own:

• Listen to the Admins and Mods - Since this thread will touch sensitive topics, i expect FULL COMPLIANCE of the Admins and Mods' requests. For example, if you start to get out of control, and staff confronts you about it, i expect you to comply IMMEDIATELY or you will suffer consequences.
  
  
• If you have nothing smart to say, say nothing at all - Remember, this is a thread for serious issues, idiots will not be tolerated. For example, if you make a post saying that we just overthrow the government and kill everyone and let robots rule the land, i will delete your post and let you off with a warning, anything after that... we'll just say you don't wanna see me mad
  
  
• If you do not agree with someone, simply state you don't and your reason why. I expect civilization and order. If I see ANYONE get out of hand, i will not, and i repeat, I will NOT hesitate to put this sub-board on lock down, which means NO ONE gets to access it

This board is a privilege, not a right, and we reserve the right to take it away when we see fit. We trust the members of this community and thats is why we have given you this board. Do not abuse the privilege, and we'll all be happy.

Violation Escalations will be posted at a later date when the staff has agreed on them. Til then, have fun, and if everything works out, we wont need violation escalations =P

[ShAuNmAn-X]

I'm glad you guys finally took my suggestion and decided to add this. I hope this all works out really well.

[Ztrl]

New rules, be aware of that your ranting threads will be deleted unless otherwise stated. This is a place for controversial topics, not to come bitch about things. That's why they invented blogs people.

[Nightmare]

Gonna stress AGAIN that the Contreversial board is for Civilized Discussion about convtreversial subjects ONLY, it's not a place for you to angrily rant about stuff, be it contreversial or not.

[FDSuprema]

Um, I tought that I might metion this, nightmare, in the no Leet-speak rule, you misspelled the word, "intellectual"

I just thought I might let you know,

also, if I broke any rules by posting this correction, I am truly sorry, I just noticed a problom and let you know.

[Nightmare]

Yeah, sorry. I typo'd and left out a letter. I'll fix that right a way.

By the way, you mispelled "problem."

We touched on this point in our ghost talk thread but I think a rule ought to be added where if you make a poll to only include serious answers as possible choices.
No more *hit this button if you think I make too many polls*
