1) No illegal or money making posts(if the point of your post is either to help distribute copyrighted material/harmful software, or to put money in your pocket, it's not allowed).
2) No posts that are intended to cause server stress or otherwise prevent other users from accessing this site.
3) Porn/Gore/Disturbing Material belongs in NSFW.
4) If you are going to post some kind of short or generic vid, whether it be humorous or whatever, use the Vid Dump Thread (http://www.theisonews.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=142852). For the more news-worthy or profound/lengthy material, you can make a separate thread. And no, you won't be banned if you screw up, so don't wet yourselves. Threads will just be locked and the post moved to the Vid Dump. Same applies for pictures. If you find a funny pic of a monkey wearing a dress, or you need help deciphering a letter on some sign in the background of a pic, well we really dont need whole new threads for this type of thing. Just post it in the Picture Dump Thread (http://www.theisonews.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=148984).
5a) Apparently people need this written in stone as well. YES, NO REQUESTING APPLIES HERE TOO. Actually, it applies GLOBALLY. Most know this, but people try getting around this by requesting invitations to torrent sites. That too, IS NOT PERMITTED, SO QUIT MAKING THREADS AND ASKING PEOPLE HERE. Go to that sites forum or irc channel and ask them. If you can't because its private, well tough, that isn't our problem. This site doesn't exist to help with that kind of thing whatsoever. If you are caught asking/requesting about this, you are banned. Don't say you weren't warned.
5b) Dont link to sign-up pages either, intended to inform people about some new and hot, alabama-slammin-jammin torrent site. People can find them on their own, so dont advertise them here.
Ask any intelligent questions in this thread.
Serious discussion only please.

Good to see you guys relaxing the rules. OT seems nicer now (after the spammers had their fun).

Well some users (mostly the worst spammers initially) were also unbanned today (cause we're FUCKING NAZIS AND WE HATE EVERYONE) in the hope that people will get along.
The reality is that we have relaxed it in the hopes that people don't ruin it for themselves. We expected a shit-show when we stopped moderating and it was partly the case, but once it leveled off it wasn't so terrible. Hopefully we don't have to moderate much in the future and we can focus on making other parts of the site better.

wut about bumping old-ass threads
-
does this make SIP obsolete? also, what about misleading tinyurl links like that HOTSISTER thread?

Collateral damage from the time before the rules.
If they upset you, just watch them a few dozen times and you'll get desensitized.
And, Jotaro, try reading the rules. It says nothing about bumping old threads. If someone bumps 50 of them in a row, that arguably falls under the preventing someone from accessing the site clause, as the site they're accessing is more or less useless at that point.
-
yah of course this i figured out, i just wondered about people randomly bumping jurassic threads, seeing as i guess some people could abuse this to deceive and piss off members... all's cool though

psh, that didn't stop the ass that temp banned me for 5 or 7 days because i bumped an old thread. no warning, no PM, never went on a spam/SIP/dupe thread-starting spree, nothing. i've been here for over 6 years and that was my only temp ban which is a pretty good indicator that i'm not here to fuck things up and make things difficult for mods.
-
I would never temp ban you Acidcock <3.
-
lol, was it you???
-
I don't remember banning you.
According to the logs, it was TheVirus. You can go kill him now if you want.
-
Nice to see that there no longer is a long list of really specific and gay rules.

5 day ban for posting a nsfw tagged goatse link makes me wonder what the point of this thread is...

/shakes fist at TheVulture

Yeah there's still some unwritten rules, I picked up a day ban.

Not that it was me who banned you (twasn't) but we hope that users who have been here for several years would use some common sense. There's also that 10% +/- factor if you've caught one of us who's had a shit day and the tban seems easier than sending a PM. The new robot moderators should be operational by early 2015. Until then suck it up.
At least we have Tbans... when Fro ruled with an iron fist those didn't exist.

So I can call Horrordee a stupid Jew in the off-topic section but not in the other sections?
That's stupid.

I knew what would happen, I just had to make sure the new rules are more or less a farce.
-
Robot moderators would be neat.

They're real to me. I don't care what any of you do. If any of you can figure out how to actually set fire to the board, knock yourselves out.
However, it should be noted that I felt that way prior to the rule change.

3) Porn belongs in NSFW.

Was it so hard to understand?

add a rule that forbids incoherent/unsubstancial threads that mean nothing then
-
We the people with life liberty and the pursuit of dongs.
-
Could you please add "don't make pointless threads" to the list of rules.
No, I don't support the locking of pointless threads, but if you keep locking threads for the mere fact that they're lame/stupid/pointless, why did you remove the rule in the first place?
-

Isn't the "Ask any Intelligent question. Serious discussion." good enough? If there are idiots rigorously making pointless threads ignore them and they will fuck off eventually.
