Spam
What is spam?
Spam is posts having little to do with the original post in a thread, posting multiple times in a row in one thread within 24 hours, or a thread that realy didn't need to be made.
About spam
Spam is not aloud outside of the Post Whoreing thread, found on the General board, and will be removed and/or fixed by a member of the staff.
Avoiding spam
Posting - when posting, make sure your post is in response to the first post of that thread. Occasionaly, it is exceptable to respond to a post responding to the first post, as long as this doesn't continue and get out of hand. Also, at the top of each of your posts there is a button that says "Modify", click that and edit your posts instead of posting repetidly. Repeted posts will be merged together by me or another member of the staff, or removed.
Making a thread - When making a thread make sure its somthing that has to do with TAO, TDP, or occasionaly a personal announcment. (for example a leaveing thread, or an "I'm back" thread).
Wether or not a post or a thread is spam is up to the staff.
How to use the karma system[/u]
Rules -
- Neg or pos only for a specific post, use the system seriously - no pos/neg because you like/dislike the person or because they gave you karma
- Only one neg or pos for each post per person
- Everyone gets negged sometimes so if someone tells you why, use the information to better your posts and if they don't tell you, then just let it go
- You are encouraged to post in karma thread to let people know why you liked/didn't like their post
- Don't pos or neg for really old posts, it's not fair to make someone pay or reward them for 6 month old stuff
If you would like to suggest a rule please PM pinkie.
Basics - Basicaly to use the karma, if you like a post click "exalt", and if you don't then click "Smite" on the left of that persons post.
