I decided to loosen up the rules a little. No sense in being hardass. Just keep in good fun, okay everyone?
Hello and welcome. It is very important that everyone posting at Non Entity forums be aware of the rules. In order to not get warned, and/or banned, these rules must be followed by everyone on staff as well as every registered member.
First and foremost, please, DO NOT MAKE ANY PERSONAL ATTACKS ON ANYONE FOR ANY REASON. This is very important, because if we do not make this a rule, it is likely that this message board, like so many others, will become nothing more than a flame war everywhere you go. There will be one dedicated area to posts of this nature, where people can unite and call names. That will only be in one category, specified as so, and in no other category.
Certain areas are more lenient than others in terms of "crazy talk" and "flame-baiting." Generally in the aliens and machine thread, and in the Nine Inch Nails category, you are likely to get away with crazy talk and flame-baiting. But name calling is still strictly disallowed.
Flame-baiting is NOT allowed in the music board, or the general board. Those boards are held to higher standards. But seeing how aliens conversations often bring out "Crazy talk," and Nine Inch Nails is a particularly visceral group, we are more lenient in those categories.
Everybody gets a few chances to be good at no cost to their status. But if you keep breaking the rules of the categories then you get a warning level which leads to a ban. The higher the warning level, the more trouble you are in. With good behavior, warning levels can go down.
So far the moderating team consists of only two people to accomodate our small group. Those moderators are Non Entity (Me,) and Perry Mason. There is a third moderator coming soon and when the group gets large enough I have already decided on the fourth, so DONT BUG ME ABOUT BEING MODERATOR.
If you have any questions regarding the rules of the board, please feel free to post them here.
