Acts of necro-ing threads increasing.

[Teshno]

I don't really find this fit for the Spambox, though I normally spend my time here. I'm actually being serious in this post. But whatever, onto the topic:

I've noticed lately [And probably a few other people _{(coughtrxdcough)} too] that really old threads are being responded to. Not sure if this is due to new people, people who don't check dates, or both. I don't see a problem in necro-ing a thread that brings no harm, but if it's a sensitive thread [Such as if it's on an event people would like to forget about], that may be bad.

I just have one question. Is there anything against necro-ing a thread currently [responding to a thread that is no longer active and a few months old or older] or will there be something against it if the numbers increase over time? I'm asking both in the sense of rules and general opinions.

Common sense people, not that hard.


Posting: No spam, it's simple, if you have spam, take it to the Spambox, it's there for a reason. As for what spam is, if the post is meaningless, doesn't contribute, completely off topic, simply flaming, trolling, etc, it is considered spam. Obviously some posts will go offtrack and that is expected, but continuing that derailment for several posts (half dozen or so), you will be warned and posts deleted. Please do not make multiple, meaningless posts right after one another. Use the edit button.

Thread titles must be descriptive. We have to be able to tell the jest of your thread with the thread title. Do not make threads called "FUUUU" and "YAY I DID IT!" you will be warned and eventually temporarily banned if you do this continuously. Also cliffhanger thread titles are not allowed, such as "What if.." or "If only.." as they fall under the same reason; un-descriptive.

Make sure the thread you are posting actually goes with the subforum you're posting it in. If you want to share Touhou related content with everyone, it goes in Touhou Media Share. If you want to show us a funny video about a cat punching a dog, it goes in Non-Touhou Media Share. This includes all sorts of media including news, articles, games, rumors, etc.

Respect: I doubt I have to say this but respect each other people. Don't go trolling to piss people off. Also, respect the staff, they're there for a reason. Finally if you have complaints about the site/server, please don't complain to me about how the site sucks. Take it to the Suggestions Forum and do it there in a polite manner pl0x, if you start flaming at me I'll simply close the thread and ignore it.

NSFW content: It's not hard, spoiler it and leave a warning beforehand saying what the NSFW content is, if the content is extremely NSFW (gore, disturbing, etc) LINK IT, do NOT post images with the [img] tag.

Images: Large images are automatically resized to I believe 600px width, there will be a small yellow bar above the resized image, click to enlarge. Also keep in mind the NSFW rule, if it's extremely NSFW, DON'T USE THE IMAGE TAG, LINK IT!!!!!!! (and spoiler with warning)

Thread Necromancy: I don't think we'll have to worry about this for awhile but remember, if you revive an old thread (a month or older) then you better be either asking a meaningful question or updating with new information. Thread Necromancy will result in a warning on the spot if the post is not relevant or not providing new information.

Banning: There is no such thing as an insta-ban, save for one case, but in general a ban will not be issued by staff until looked upon on a case-by-case basis. The only exception to this rule is if you stack up 5(five) warnings. Each warning will expire after 10 days, you'll have to be especially bad to get banned from this... These bans last 24 hours but may be extended on the severity of each warning. If a user if banned several times, again, this will be on a case-by-case basis, the user's bans will either be extended to a week, or will be permanently banned. However I doubt we'll ever have to perma-ban anyone.

Torrents: Touchy issue, but we're in the greenzone, you MAY, as in, you are allowed to post torrents as attachments or otherwise link them. The servers are not based on US if I remember correctly, but if we get a Cease and Desist warning, we will immediately remove the said torrent.

Cursing: Keep it PG-13 guys, we want to keep this forum mostly SFW, meaning I don't want excessive cursing, no f-bombs, etc etc. The occasional curse is fine, and if you need to use the f, try to censor the u or something, if it's in the chatbox, the rules on cursing are a bit more lenient though. Basically use common sense.

Signature Size: Signature images may be up to 300px in height, 800 in width, past that, spoiler it please. First offence will simply be a staff telling you, second offense will be a warning, third one infraction, past that we reserve the right to ban you.

Unwelcome Solicitations: Please do not advertise when people aren't interested. Advertising your latest video on youtube is fine. Asking people if they want to join you on another server for a little bit is fine. Trying to get people in on your ponzi scheme, mindlessly and forcefully asking people to sign up for some unrelated and unwanted website or other menial "human tasks" and other unwanted and forced solicitations are not allowed. Please use common sense.

Final Rule: Remember guys, this forum is for fun, SO GO HAVE FUN!!! (but respect the rules)


The rules are simple, they're common sense, and I'm not asking for anything extreme, please respect and follow them.

@Gamer
For a second there, I thought you were accusing me of necro-ing. Then again, I only just woke up and I obviously can't think straight.

Unfortunately, necromancy is an inevitable thing. Someone, somewhere is going to accidentally necro a thread. Most of the time, we just ignore it and warn the poster of their crimes. But other times, should the poster be found to be a necro addict, then it becomes a problem. I won't mention anyone here who is currently accused of necro-ing but those people really need to sort their sh*t out.

Also, thanks Remi. I must've overlooked it when I read through it before.
