Im unable to do this due to my phone, but i really think an official thread on forum ettiquette is in order. Thread hijacking is becoming a nuisance :(

This is a good idea. What would you guys like to see included in the forum etiquette?

Thread hijacking, trolling, posting in the wrong forums, respecting others opinions/faith/sexuality/how punishment for breaking rules is handled. Just examples

Necromancy (resurrecting dead threads)
Trolling (just like fishing, throw out something controversial/inflammatory or just goading ppl into loosing tempers)

Hijacking: going into someone elses thread and changing the flow of conversation to another topic

Just ask people to be respectful of others. Plz don't go overboard with rules. Forums should be fun and spontaneous, just like real conversations

Im not saying drop the ban hammer if a thread goes off topic a little, but repeat offenders wouldnt be able to use the "well i didnt know" excuse.

Forum rules have been added.

Correct. The new rules are found below the "Submit" button wherever posts can be made, so there will be no excuse for not knowing them.

The idea is not to go after one-time or occasional offenders. The idea is to keep the forum clean and friendly by giving us the ability to quickly remove repeat offenders who are negatively impacting the forum and community.

RULES:
  • Be respectful at all times.
  • Be mature and act like an adult.
  • Respect different points of view.
  • Discuss ideas, not specific users.
  • Don't get personal.
  • No profanity.
  • No drama.
  • No thread hijacking.
  • No trolling.
  • No spamming.
  • No soliciting.
  • No duplicate posting.
  • No posting in the wrong section.
  • No posting of contact information.
  • Be welcoming to new users.
Repeated violations of the above will result in increasing temporary bans from the forum and an eventual permanent ban from the site. Basically, just be friendly and neighborly and all will be well.
