Mikey's rule Suggestions

Feel free to reply against these, but please back yourself up. I don't want to see any posts that just say "I disagree" or any of that.

-Attempt not to go off-topic.
-Keep posts/threads useful. Don't reply to someone simply saying "Thank you!" or anything like that. Make sure if you make a thread you aren't duplicating someone else's thread.
-Don't Spam. (I couldn't find a thing in the TOU about this, so why not?)
-Don't ask to become any type of Staff Member. Earn it. -Proven Wrong-
-No Major Swear words, and no more than 2 swear words in a post. (Explanation: If a kid sees a word a bunch of times he'll keep think of that word, resulting in him using it when he/she doesn't want to.)
Am I making any sense with these rules?

Another suggestion, D-amn and C-Rap are not really swear words, why do they have censors? What about Hell? Is it gonna get censored, too, soon?

Re: Mikey's rule Suggestions

I agree. Except #4, with the moderator elections, you do need to ask for that  smile

And #5: There should be no swear words AT ALL.

If you want to be technical, Hell is a place and * is what God does to people so they go to hell. If you're not using those word in an offensive way then I doubt anyone minds.
And also, Moderator Elections?

Well *, I have 4 months and a week before I can even try. Ah well, maybe that's my next suggestion.  tongue
Anyway, you can forget #4.  *Edits Post*
-Edit-
Did that really censor the word C-Rap? Ugh. That's not even a swear word...

Oh, I see. Well, I'm sure that when a spot opens up, you'll be able to run, and probably get into the "finalists," for lack of a better term.

Re: Mikey's rule Suggestions

Excuse me, but a second ago you were complaining about flimsy rules. Now you're asking to make more bad words available to be used? Hmm.

Hell and the D word can be censored if used inappropriately. And most of the time, if someone uses one of those words, it's in an offensive way. That's why the D word is censored. Using this logic, hell could be censored just as easily. But it isn't.

Otherwise, I agree with these rules.

I'm quick to change topics, okay?  lol
Anyway, yeah. I didn't think about how often it would be used offensively if it wasn't censored. New rule suggestion: The words Hell and Dam-n are allowed if not used offensively, if used offensively you will get an instant ban.
