(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Alright here are some unwritten rules that i think should/are on NGU, and maybe should be added to the forum rules, found here.

You must login or register to view this content.

One thing that pisses me off the most, which i use to do was this.
You must login or register to view this content.

Sorry i could not get a screen shot.
And im also sorry to use your post JCM.
But some people just to that to get there post count up, not to zero in on you JCM, by all means, and sorry again.

So yeah, stop posting after the question has been answered. Use this
vBulletin Style: You must login or register to view this content.

Rogue Style: You must login or register to view this content.

Assault Style: You must login or register to view this content.

Vision 21 Style: You must login or register to view this content.

Yeah the last 2 are basically the same, but most of you get the point.
To change your skin, its at the bottom, bottom left of every page im pretty sure, found here.
You must login or register to view this content.

So once again, report posts for threads that you've seen posted already, double posts, threads that have been answered. Maybe your own thread or post that you may have messed up on, or just want closed. Or if you see spam, report it, or yet more reasons, if you see any hate, flaming ripping or what not in the thread.

Okay now onto the shoutbox. To access the shoutbox, you must have 10+ posts, it is located at the top of the main page, and cannot, and will not move from page to page while you post. Just make 2 tabs to post and talk to people.
Remember not to advertise other websites in the shoutbox, yes youtube videos, and streaming websites, are allowed (pretty sure on those lol)
NO PORN.
Also do not use the bbcode to say something, and bring the user to a different website
[url=www.google.com]Click here for 3 nightfire glitches!!![/url]
No, thats dumb, and you could get a warning and/or infraction.
Also with those tinyurl things. I think if a mod sees them it should be an auto shoutbox ban. Thats just getting rediculas*.
Also, rick rolls, okay once or twice its funny, 3 times, eh, if someone tells you to stop, stop, you go on, i think it should be an infraction or something.
Also back to advertising, its okay to put links to threads that you have made, but come on, not 10 times in 10min. Put it once or twice you on NGU, then stop. Once you come on again at a later time, sure, put the link ONCE again. Not 5 more times in a row.


Also as stated in the rules, don't double post just edit it.
You must login or register to view this content.
(looks the same in all skins.)

Added after seeing this...

Once again you can see the rules You must login or register to view this content.

Trolling is a art
Thank you very much Jon. This was a well thought out post and stresses why people need to report posts. It is so much more easy for the moderators to find and take care of posts that have been reported then when you just say 'close this' or 'that's against the rules' and then do nothing more. If push comes to shove and it's really bad, most of the mods up here have their AIM addresses or MSN's up, so use that if need be.

On to the shoutbox, one of the most used features of the site, Jon is once again right, DON'T SCREW AROUND IN IT! It's a privilege, and if you mess up, you lose that privilege. If your unsure, the basic forum rules apply to the shoutbox as well.

And although now the double post has been fixed as it automatically edits your last post, Thank You for trying to make a point to members.


Thanks for the thread Jon, it was well thought out and obviously you put a decent amount of time in it with all the screenshots, etc. Winky Winky
