This law has been changed and has been approved by Ness our Delegate...
Article I
Flaming Will NOT be tolerated
Flame: Expressing anger at someone in uncouth ways with OOC (out-of-character) comments (i.e. swearing, being obnoxious, threatening etc). Watch what you post IC (in-character) as well unless the other posters know you're not serious. You do not need to curse to be a flamer. Erudite slams while maintaining a veneer of politeness can also be considered flaming. Flaming in the forums should be reported to the Minister of Internal Affairs.
Article II
Flamebaiting will NOT be tolerated
Flamebait: Posts that are made with the aim of angering someone indirectly. Not outright flame, but still liable to bring angry replies. Flame baiting is a far more subtle and covert action; it is an underhanded tactic that is designed to provoke a response from another player. It's in the same context of trolling but with flamebaiting it's just the one person.
Obscene and Explicit content: Sexually graphic images and posts. Very strictly forbidden. Obscene imagery and content in the forums should be reported to the Minister of Internal Affairs. Please provide a link to the topic, but do not quote it while explaining its illegality. Then we have to find and delete them.
The standard for both forums and game is the US movie rating "PG-13". Mild swearing may be tolerated, mild sexuality may be hinted, but explicit or excessive versions of either or both may result in proportional mod response.
Article III
Trolling will NOT be tolerated
Trolling: Posts that are made with the aim of angering people. (like 'ALL JEWS ARE [insert vile comment here]' for example). While Trolls often make these posts strictly in an attempt to provoke negative comment, it is still trolling even if you actually hold those beliefs. Intent is difficult to prove over the internet, so mods will work under their best assumptions.
Note that posts of opinions you disagree with does not automatically equate with trolling. Disagreements are expected, as long as they are done in a civil manner. Any offenses of trolling should be reported to the Minister of Internal Affairs and link(s) should be provided.
Punishment:
1st offense-A written warning through PM from Minister of Internal Affairs, Delegate or Chancellor.
2nd offense-A 24 hour suspension from the forum
3rd offense-Trial through the Court of Justice

Not that EMC...
The way we vote... I am having a "brainstorm" right now...
Just imagine... if the votings could be done like a poll and you could pre-determine how many days it would be opened to votings and then after those days the poll would be locked automaticaly and no one could vote then.

The only thing is, I don't think such a system is possible on ProBoards forums, it has to be done manually.

Nessie... are you forgetting that I am trying to work on the map/website for hyrule? there are scripts that can do that. Yes... I am having a tough time with it... and due to recent happenings I decided to find a free host with PHP/MySql to host it (and its not easy to find a decent one without popups and things like that) but as soon as I can fix that the rest will be kinda easy.

I know that scripts for ProBoards forums exists, it's just that I haven't seen one like that would modify voting like that. |

It's done for now, and is a law, but it can still be open for modifications.

OU of interest, how are we defining the differences between a small Spat, and outright bullying/flaming, call it what you will.
