a bump is defined as a reply with little to no useful content in an "old" topic, where "old" is defined as having gone several weeks without any meaningful activity.

That sounds so much like a dictionary definition it's scary.

Heh, that's one of the fun things about being a mod/admin. You get to use fancy schmancy definitions in the rules topic, when simpler ones would work just as well.

I wonder if Toozin could describe a ban in that way...that'd be cool...

This won't be official as I'm not a mod, but I guess a ban could be described something like this:

A ban is defined as a prohibition from "posting" in these forums, where "posting" is the creation/deletion/edition of posts and/or topics, and/or utilizing the forum's Private Message system.

Or, as Toozin put it in the Rules, "a ban means that you are never wanted back."

Ready and willing.
Tim wrote the rules, Toozin just reposted them when they got auto-pruned waaaaaaay back when.

Of course, we all did some editing later on. The only one Tooz did though was put in that Sig Image line.

The trouble with that definition is that it doesn't say the person can't come back.

Sometimes they do come back again though. And then they're banned-again.

I for one think that the best ban in history was ILikeBloob.  "And Toozin rhymes with Poozin!"

Hm, perhaps a disclaimer should be addd to the effect of "Your name may also be changed to 'Asstastic'".

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I'd actually been wondering who wrote them originally. Wasn't one hundred percent sure if it was Toozin or not.

It wasn't Tim either. :P


The first version of those rules ever written were written by Reeve, ex-webmaster of the MegaMan Network, as far as I'm concerned.


That, or the rules date WAY earlier than that and were written by Slash. :P Proof?

The first place I EVER saw THE EXACT SAME RULEBOOK was on the MegaMan Network forums. ;)

Point of interest: Also the FIRST ban in this forum's history, and that includes the Metroid Online pre-forum. We actually had a GREAT bunch of posters to start out with, and didn't really get any idiots until popularity grew a bit.

I thought that was the first ban.  I wasn't sure, of course, not having been around since the beginning.

Heh, that guy was awesome.  Total douche, but awesome nonetheless.  Kind of reminds me of the Stole My Cloudsong thing...
"dude, why'd you unban him??"

There is a topic I didn't make with the author as me, with the posts of the rules thread. What. The. Flickerbat.

That is a split thread.  You may have started the conversation down a tangent and it became big enough that a mod surgically removed it from the original.

Or wait...that must be this topic.  GOGO reading what you're reading!  (well...I think having to read stupid, overly long, wordy books is enough of an excuse for that...)

This one's special.  You were just the first one to reply to the rules thread.  When TRH cut it off of the original post (which probably should have happened a long time ago) yours was just the first one.

However, I still don't want to see any off-topicness in this thread. Any posts that do not pertain to this forum's rules have been and will be deleted on sight.

Yeah.  The good news is now that nice people who read the rules won't put themselves through the effort of reading 400 posts to see if there's one more obscure rule that isn't in Toozin's post.

All the rules will be in Toozin's post, but, yes, I suppose new users might not know that.

Exaxtly how many new users actually look at the rules before posting anything? From what I've seen, it isn't many...

We have no way of knowing. But actually, I bet that most users do look at the rules; they just don't read them thoroughly enough.

D'you reckon there's any way of forcing the rules on them? Like shoving the rules page in their face when signing in and not letting them sign in for a further 5 minutes (to make them read the rules) or some other system like that? I wonder if it'd work...
