The Supreme List of Rules
Be Nice –
The Everybody Edits community is one composed of a variety of cultures, ages, languages, thoughts, and ideas. Please be respectful of your fellow players and don’t forget that there is a human on the other end of the keyboard.
Don’t Spam –
No one likes to read nonsense or repeated posts, please make sure to think before you press the “submit” button.
Safety/Security –
EE hosts a wide variety of ages, from under 10 to over 50. We at EE hope to protect our members by reminding players to be aware that information posted on these forums is public, and we should never post any personal information about ourselves that could give someone an opportunity to find us in real life.
Specific Rules (because some of you prefer it this way):
1. Use common sense.
A. Don't ask to be an admin or mod on the forum or EE, you will be banned without warning. Asking how to be a mod is very obnoxious; one becomes a mod on the forum when the current staff finds they are useful and trustworthy, at a time that the forum needs a new moderator.
B. You should only have one account on these forums.
C. We advise you not to give out personal information, this includes your specific location, surnames, date of birth, or passwords, and you do so at your own risk.
2. No flaming
A. This includes saying another should be banned, if someone is breaking the rules, report them.
B. This does not count negativity, if someone is stupid you don't have to ignore it. Negative criticism isn't necessarily flaming.
C. Ordering mods to close topics or requesting a sticky won't get you what you want, and could even result in warnings.
D. Use the report system! Seriously, it works great.
3. No spamming.
A. Keep off topic discussion to PMs.
B. No posting in dead threads with a useless post. Forum games can always be revived; 'do this' threads can also be revived. A good example of what not to do is posting 'c00l stUf lol!1' in a dead thread in the Graphics Suggestions board.
C. No multiple posting, use the edit button. It is acceptable to double post if you're adding new content later, like reviving an old thread because your level/graphics/whatever has been updated and such. It is also okay to 'bump' a thread that no one has responded to for some time.
D. Do not make a topic for something that already exists.
E. Signatures must not exceed 300px in height; this includes all images and text. A rule of thumb is that if the bottom of a blank post extends past your user info, your signature is too big.
F. One word posts, or just in general useless posts that contribute nothing, such as 'inb4lock' or 'lol' are considered spam and will result in warnings.
G. Please try your best to use proper spelling and grammar, you won't be banned, but you may become a general nuisance to the community.
4. Keep topics appropriate
A. Try to keep posts at a PG level, there are 10 year olds on this forum.
B. No discussion of how to execute illegal activities. There won't be a penalty for saying you pirated photoshop or downloaded music, just don't go around telling people how to do it. Breaking this rule results in two warnings.
5. Rules are there for a reason, Read them.
A. Do not ask for someone to pay for your chat, you will be banned without warning.
B. Read
this topic before creating a topic in the Game suggestions forum.
C. Do not misuse the report system.
A. Breaking any rule will yield one warning, unless otherwise noted.
B. 3 warnings - day ban
C. 4 warnings - week ban
D. 5 warnings - month ban
E. 6 warnings - permanent ban
