So I'm the mod for w88 forums now. I hope to see some good pnp here, but I'll be here to watch. So just make my job easy and we can all be happy! Here's some guidelines for what is and is not allowed (yes I stole this):
Question: Is the use of the word "shit" allowed?
[Spoil]Answer: The use of the word "shit" does not count as profanity in itself, and thus is allowed. The word is, however, not allowed to be used to insult other players outside of a game-related context.
Allowed: That's bullshit.
Allowed: You're a shit player.
Not Allowed: You're shit. [/Spoil]
Question: Is "crap" allowed?
[spoil]Answer: Same as "shit". It's allowed on its own, but not when used to insult another player. [/spoil]
Question: What about "asshole"?
[spoil]Answer: This depends on the mod. Some mods allow this, similar to "shit". I do not, so don't use it in this forum![/spoil]
Question: And does the same apply for "bitch" and "bastard"?
[spoil]Answer: These are allowed in a manner similar to 'shit'. Acceptable if used on their own, but not if used as an insult.[/spoil]
Question: Is the f-word allowed at all?
[spoil]Answer: The f-word is not allowed, even if quoted, used in an acronym, shown in an image, starred out, or otherwise obscured. If it is understandable you are using the f-word, you will get in trouble for it.
Allowed: Nothing.
Not Allowed: Wtf, lmfao, milf, f'ing, feck, fubar, frick, and anything else that is clearly meant to be read as the f-word.[/spoil]
Question: What are the rules for posting pictures?
[spoil]Answer: Pictures are not allowed to be larger than 640x480 pixels, unless posted in a spoiler. If you're unsure how big a picture is, you should check the image properties by right-clicking it and looking for the size. If that doesn't work, better safe than sorry, and you should post it in a spoiler . Also, any profanity rules and other rules still apply when posting pictures.[/spoil]
Question: What are the signature rules?
[spoil]Answer: Signatures must be smaller than or equal to 700x80 pixels in size, when not spoilered. This is much shorter than most forums allow, so be careful! If placed in a spoiler, one can make the signatures equal to or smaller than 700x300 pixels in size. If you're not sure how big a signature is, you can always ask a mod, or do the math using the formula on the Rules Page. All rules for posting pictures apply to signatures.
Also, please refrain from using any animated images in your signatures. They are not allowed. That includes animated emoticons[/spoil]
Question: What about extreme content in signatures/avatars/pictures?
[spoil]Answer: There won't be punishment for a picture that has the image of a weed plant in it unless it also has words/sentences in it that condone/glorify the use of it. If the image of the drug is alone, most of the time we will disregard it. If you're not sure about if a signature/avatar/post is legal, feel free to message any mod and we'll be happy to help.[/spoil]
In case you missed this new rule: https://forum.tribalwars.net/showthread.php?278055-Forum-Rule-Change-Links
Please note to read the whole thread and follow the directions however. Basically if you give a warning a link/video you post may have explicit language in it. All other rules still apply to links though.
If you have ANY questions don't hesitate to ask. I'll be on here and skype every day, so should be pretty easy to find me.
