THE COSBI SECRET HOME TERMS OF SERVICE: DRAFT 1
Yes, I am the Overlord here now, but unlike certain other boards, I feel that it is only appropriate that I express what I think is appropriate and what’s not.
First of all, these boards have two Overlords – the great MaverickZero, and myself. We were BANNED in the great Social Forum Upheaval. These are the shocking facts, based on the sworn testimonies from those that survived that fateful day: Maverick and I were, of course, screwing around with the Social Forum and breaking everything in general. At one point, we decided that it would be funny if we could get a picture of Limecat to show up directly on the thread list itself. We failed, managing to get the picture to show up in only the topic title. Unfortunately, what happened was that we were too lazy to put the picture on our own hosts but leeched it directly off the site instead. The site owner (unaware of what we were doing, of course) decided that bandwidth leeching off his host could no longer continue, so he renamed the Limecat image and replaced the old one with t-girl.
Needless to say, the Arbiter of Good Taste decides that t-girl is not within the realm of good taste when he logs on on Monday afternoon (he probably tagged it though). He proceeds to close the Social Forum and ban Maverick and me. And that’s when I decide to go hunting for a new forum for all of us.
That being said, on to the COSBI TOS proper. I will not stoop to the Arbiter’s level and moderate everything that slightly displeases me on random occasions. Any member of WJU is free to join the Forums, yes, even the counter-revolutionaries and the bourgeoisies. Everyone on this board is accountable to the ProBoards TOS: www.proboards.com/Information-Terms_of_Service.html. It’s basic - no pr0n, no illegal activities, blah blah blah – and NO Trinity, Pains, Bakla, etc etc. You will suffer the might of COSBI if you do.
As of now, there are two Grand Arbiters: the Admiral and Glamdring. They will be responsible, along with Maverick and I, for keeping the general peace on the boards.
On to more specific TOS specifications: NO EFFING ALT CAPS. I will brutally enforce this measure. Keep swearing to a minimum – this will be laxly enforced, unless I see it in every other post. If you troll, you’ll probably be eaten alive anyway, so that will be fun for me. Same goes for flaming and hate-speech. Basic.
Finally – and I always need to remind people of this – this forum is inherently ridiculous. Anyone with cheesecake for brains should be able to discern the difference between pointless rants and DEATH THREATS. If things are taken out of context from this forum, it really isn’t going anywhere. We have teh PEP majors. Don’t even think about it.
And there you have it.
I am 100% open to comments as to future revisions of this document. w00t!
EDIT
Regarding forum maintainence: since we're still new, there's not much to discuss, but if the boards begin to show signs of overload, I will begin to delete threads that have been inactive for two weeks.
