So, Souppy made a comment about the forum being rule-less, and I kind of agree. The more freedom a person is given, the more they'll be willing to come back (GET IT RIGHT, NEOPETS).
SO. No rules.
All I ask is that you are respectful of the others around you, and try not to cause a mess. >D Now, get along and back to your shenanigans.
Shoo!
-Heaven Add-on by Sind: NO rules at all is of course an exaggeration. I suggested adding the bare minimum rules needed to keep the forum sane, and SereneHeaven agreed, so:
-No adult material(Porn, Gore, etc) -No flaming or anything else offensive -No Spamming(Irrelevant posts, Double posting)

The first rule of BCB Fan Forum: There is no BCB Fan Forum. The second rule of BCB FF: There are no rules.

And that is the first step of Daemon. Next? Total mind control. Which opens the door for the final step: Cookies. And possibly world domination. With milk.

You know the only thing I like better than taking over the world?
A good rebel. They go excellently with cookies.

Hmm... Clarification on "Adult," please.
What I mean is, as I have mentioned elsewhere, there are adult topics in the comic. Is discussing them ok? I would certainly hope so. Or else I'd have a bone to pick... a whole skeleton of bones...
Just to clarify, I assume by adult "pornographic" is meant, and in particular images. Is this correct?

I'd presume as much. Porn is bad for kids.

Just want to be clear. I dislike it when rules are unclear. I don't care if they exist or not, but if they do, they better make sense.

Everyone wants their little fiefdom!
I think that's crazy. Who cares if there is adult material? Who cares if there is flaming? Spamming? Do we next have to define those things? There should be no "rules". Just one sensible administrator who does the right thing if people act badly.
Anyway, that's just what I think. This forum is a lot more in the mould of traditional ones with excessive organisation and overmoderation so it fits that there's a demand for some kind of prescribed set of rules you can break and be punished for. But it's hardly what I'd do..

well, there is only currently overmoderation becuase our admin/member ratio is so low

...overmoderation? What? What moderation have we had, if any? Everything to excess, I say! On a more serious note, the high mod/member ratio doesn't hurt anything- it just means we're ready for lots of members! And as long as we don't get too many members, it should stay fine. (and by too many, I mean hundreds) How bout rather than rules, we have suggestions, and "I'd really rather you didn't"s? If anything does come up, I think we have enough mods to take care of it.

Believe it or not, there exists some people out there who don't like being offended, be that flaming or whatnot =P And some people are too young to watch pornography and the likes. =/ Simply said, this is a forum made for honoring a webcomic we love. We do not want it disgraced by a bunch of monkeys jumping around, throwing shit at each other... figuratively speaking, of course >.> There should be no "rules". Just one sensible administrator who does the right thing if people act badly. The problem lies in the fact that one Admin alone isn't enough to watch over a whole forum. =/ And other then that, we are pretty much doing what you're saying. We, in which I mean the (sensible) administrators of this site, have come to the conclusion that there are a few things that we do not want on this forum. But instead of going around suddenly banning someone for doing something wrong, and then get the whole "how were I to know that was a bad thing?" drama, we simply post a small list of those "wrong" stuff, so the members can be careful and avoid them. Also, I find it funny how you call three rules for "excessive organisation and overmoderation" =P As for darkdaemon: Talking about adult situations is of course allowed, otherwise we'd have trouble discussing the comic itself XD You are correct about the pornography. The reason I said "Adult material" is so that it would cover both Porn, as well as gore(excessive amount of blood and/or violence) Hope this clears some things up, ~Sind

Sweet, message is much clearer now. As for the whole "Oh, now you f'ed up! You're banned!" I hope it doesn't come to that. I believe civil discussion using PM's between an admin and user can solve most problems. I realize it's more work for you folks, but it is the fairest way, and ensures a silly mistake doesn't prevent a fan from participating.

Don't worry darkdaemon, there won't be any permanent bans unless a user doesn't listen to the admins and brakes the rules several times. At first it's warnings, followed by a one-two day ban, and only if the member still refuses to listen he or she will be banned forever.
