Well, first of all, HELLO EVERYONE, and thank you for joining this little slice of madness. :>
You have just been inducted into a rocking elite association of people we call the League of Awesome. We come to this place to chat, RP, and unleash our inner rockstars.
I am your Mistress of Madness Ace, and today I present to yous all the very important LEAGUE OF AWESOME CODE OF CONDUCT. Or just, the Forum Rules (which also apply to the chat-box down there).
First Rule of the LOA: YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE LOA.
actually i think that one's for something else. Huh.
ACTUAL Rule #1: BE NICE, GUYS. JUST, BE NICE.
This is the big one. There's no reason to get around being mean to everyone for no apparent reason. There's a difference between gentle buddy-buddy teasing and being a a total ass. So really, just be nice. Show some respect for other people's opinions. Then we can all get along (mostly).
Rule #2: PLEASE. DON'T. SPAM.
Spamming: you know, putting up constant nonsensical posts all over the place whether it's relevant or not; bothering people with nonsensical posts down in the chat-box; etc. We're not a big fan of that here. So don't do it.
Same goes for trolling. TROLLS BE NOT WELCOME HERE.
Rule #3: YOU CAN SWEAR, JUST BE REASONABLE ABOUT IT.
I myself don't have an issue with swearing. Ergo, if you wanna swear in your posts, be my guest. HOWEVER, just be reasonable about it is all I'm asking. A good way to tell if you're post has too much swearing is this: Read your post aloud. If was too be said out loud on live television, would it have to have parts bleeped out of it more than five times? If so, then there's too much cussing going on there.
If you are making posts like that, though, let me say you'll probably be able to get yourself a good career in the rap industry.
Rule #4: DON'T MAKE HUGE SIGNATURES
Everyone likes signatures. They're fun, they help show off who you are.
They get a lot less fun when they're so massive they take up half the page they're on.
So I'm just asking that you keep them fairly small. Rule of thumb: if it needs a huge scroll bar to be seen in full, it's probably too big.
Rule #5: ABUSING CAPS LOCK IS FULLY SUPPORTED HERE
IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, MOST OF US ABUSE CAPS LOCK. A LOT. THERE ARE REALLY NO QUALMS IF YOU DO, HERE OR ON THE C-BOX. IT'S LIKE OUR NATIONAL LANGUAGE HERE.
Aaaaand that's about it. I think you guys can handle that.
If you can't and it's your first time, you get a warning. If you start breaking these babies multiple times, though, you'll get to have a fun little meeting with either me or Breezy. :>
All I'm spraying here, lovelies, is FOLLOW THE RULES. ENJOY THE LEAGUE. ROCK ON.
AND WELCOME TO THE LOA.
