Rhea. I dont get why it can only have 4 lines of text. (signature)

I'm pretty sure she means an entire signature size + 4 lines MAX, maybe? It seems more reasonable that way~

I think it's to ensure that our signatures are of a specific legnth. I mean, I've literally used up the maximum size. I think the entire limit is suppose to be something like 800x300, but the 300 was reduced to 200 for a legnth.

200 is the height though? But this is true also, maybe~ Hm~

Rhea

Because once upon a time, when we were still LSF, we had no limits on signatures.
What happened was that the signatures became ridiculously huge. It's distracting for members trying to read forum posts and such.
After a while we decided to set a limit. We decided on 500x200 and 4 lines, and that's that.

technically, i can have the 255 letter limit as long as its "4 lines" right?

eg, my sig is up to the limit at around 252 letters or something, i have "4" new lines (enter key) so when you stretch out the window(the browser window), it has "four" lines, so technically, im alright right?

I'm pretty sure whichever limit/rule occurs first on the sig applies. So technically, yours is fine considering that it doesn't really stretch/take up space to any extent! :3 So yes, the letter limit would apply in this case But of course, the admin always explain it better~ ;-;

What if someone wanted to post in a old Dragon Ball Z thread and he was smart enough to use the search to see if there's already a topic for it? Does he have to make another Dragon Ball Z thread?

7h3101im4idw0lf

09-05-2009, 08:02 AM

I think that would be an exception, except again it would probably depend on the situation...

Im guessing consulting a mod/admin would be your best bet

And razor, VK posted a picture of a girl (I don't remember her name)(anime) that said something like

"this thread and I are the same, we both come back from the dead"

"Thread Necromancy"

Or something like that

Everyone,

We're being less lenient about the rules now, and so we will begin to enforce them (as you've already noticed, lol.) Please take this time to refer back to the rules to avoid any more people from being banned (x_x). If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Bans will be 1~2 days for repeatedly broken rules (off-topic and spam, more so). Thanks for understanding.

Lucky Flame

12-07-2009, 04:14 AM

Oh dear, three people banned already.

You know what's funny, while creating my signature I decided that four lines of text was good and that's the maximum you're allowed in your signature anyways. XD

Which in turn does NOT call for a ban, even if it is only a 24 hour ban, what happened to you could be classified as an unjustified course of moderation action. No rules are in place to justify what happened to you.

Unless of course our right of free speech or whatever your countries equivalent is, is suddenly snatched away from us and we are oppressed for voicing unfavorable opinions

no kirant. You are allowed to ask questions about Mod's/admin's decisions. You AREN'T allowed to go full against them.

and to you DW CALM DOWN PLEASE. you've have been unbanned. all you had was a simple 1 day ban which was implemented to remind you to keep threads on track. all you have to do is just remain calm. take the lesson the ban was supposed to teach you and move on. Just keep threads on track and there won't be any trouble.

Sorry if I'm coming across as an aggravated Japanese kid, since I'm not really aggravated at all, it's just I feel that I should support my friends for what I believe is the right cause.

And also, I do believe he never went full against the moderation in any way, if my sources are correct, he only said one line, and politely too. I believe the way he said it, it was a voiced opinion rather than a complaint, and when I say I believe, I'm saying that's what it was intended to be.

Tsukasa's_Lover

12-08-2009, 05:22 AM

I get what you're saying DW. But there are proper channels to go through to file a proper complaint against a Mod or Admin's actions and then there's Letting everyone know that you dislike what the Mod/s or admins are doing and "yelling" at them for being wrong.

It's not meant in that way. I got nothing personally against you, and I think you contribute to some threads in a good way. It's just that you have a habit of going off-topic a lot. When you came back from two months of banishment, you started to post many many posts that weren't relevant to the thread, so I figured you would probably get a 24 hour ban as you did before you got permbanned.

I better get lost because my boss is a p****. He'd fire me if he saw that on my compy. It's Not safe for work. That is the definition of NSFW, right?

I'd define that as sufficiently SFW, no worse than most places on the internet.
These rules are more centered on creating a comfortable, friendly environment for (roughly) all ages.

I know. But the definition used is not the literal, nor the original, definition of being NSFW.

Simply put, NSFW is something that isn't safe for you to open at work. My boss would literally fire me had he seen that open (As oppose to scold me if I had a game or something open). So, it follows the literal definition where it is Not Safe For Work for me. And as it is, rules state I should leave. Hence my comment.

Then that's more a problem with semantics. Here it's just being used to define what is or isn't acceptable in the forums.

Wait a sec. I'm getting worked up?

I'm just curious as to the tone. Why does it say "If you call blah blah blah, get out" instead of purely stating "And by NSFW, I mean blah blah blah". The former implies that it is a problem of the user if it is considered NSFW (Which it may not be entirely), while the later states that it is a definition.

It could be from the users perspective, I've already said that NSFW isn't being used in it's literal sense here. It might not have been stated in the best possible way, but we all have different standards of decency after all.

Well then there is no USER influence on the definition. However, the quote is directly:

If kissing, blushing, saliva, drinking or panties are NSFW for you, get lost.

I'd like to ask the rules be rewritten so the users here actually know what it means in a clear manner. Because, as the rules stand right now, many of them don't make sense and/or do not directly mean what they should mean, like the rule above.

Seriously, if the rules aren't stated in the best method, there will very likely be ambiguity, which is painful for people to work around.

Honestly if those chatbox rules were regularly enforced, every member, or at least 80%, would be punished by now.

Also, I think the "NO" should be re-written as, "NO EXCESSIVE" Since I mean come on, it's a chatbox and we aren't all 5 year olds. We're going to curse occasionally and the definition of spam may be different depending on the user as well. Also I don't see the point in, "ONLY ENGLISH", sure, talking in Japanese(me) all day on chatbox would get annoying but I think the occasional foreign language for whatever it's used for should be allowed.

As for NSFW links, I think as long as it's CLEARLY warned that the link contains NSFW material, it should be alright.

VK-Skelton

01-08-2010, 10:13 PM

Well, if it's not excessive, I'd still have the right to ban people who are constantly posting "F*** #$%U(U%*&" or whatever. I mean, seriously, you don't need to use the F-word or S-word 10 times a day, honestly... Some language is allowed though... As modding the chatbox constantly, I have been letting loose on a lot of language, but now people are just being stupid with it, so I am going to start taking consequence on the more excessive, yes.

Spam is basically posting nonsensical messages that don't have any meaning, for example,
"posting"
"this"
"is"
"considered"
"spam".

In my own interpretation, people would be able to make fun of one another in a different language, and such. People who join this forum have some ability to speak English, and we don't want people to feel left out or feel offended.

As for the chatbox, many people have been marking sites "NSFW", most of the time. I've also tried my best to edit chatbox posts also to make sure that people are well-aware that it is NSFW. But it hasn't been too big of a deal.

Swizzle

01-09-2010, 02:45 AM

Hey Hikari, I agree with you that there is no need for much cursing or spam, but I think that other languages should be allowed, just not too much. I benefit a lot when I am able to use my japanese and if I could talk to someone in japanese, i.e. darkwolf, I would benefit even more. I think that it should not last for too long or anything because it really would get annoying for everyone else, but I do think it should be allowed occassionally. Maybe have a specific time where people can use other languages or something. Just an idea.

But that's hypocritical. It's discrimination against people who speak languages other than English, and may not speak English well. There are translators that can be used so that you would know if someone was making fun of someone else in a different language. I think that speaking in made-up or near-extinct languages shouldn't be allowed though, because those can't be translated by online translators ~nyaa-nyaa.

But I know I shouldn't have done that, sorry ~nyaan ;-;

You'd better give a great explanation why then.

About the necromancy thread rule thingy:
After a certain time of inactivity, unless the it is useful or can be reused (like the going away/coming back thread), it is against the rules to post in the thread. I agree that posting nothing but "yeah" or "lol" in a thread that died five months ago is pretty pointless and annoying. If a user does break the rules by posting "lol" in such a thread, the thread usually gets closed. My question is; if the staff want to prevent thread necromancy, why not just close each thread that has reached the inactivity-time? Or auto-close each thread being inactive for so long?

I reread the rules, and that is quite obvious. This forum is less strict about thread necromancy than other forums I've been to.

/agree, most sites throw a fit when you revive a thread, even if the thread is only 2 weeks old.

Then how would that be considered "reviving" a thread ~nyaa-nyaa?

If a thread is considered dead, and someone post something in it again, the thread is revived.

What I was trying to say is that a thread shouldn't even be considered "dead" in the first place if it only goes two weeks without anyone posting in it, therefore posting in it wouldn't be considered "reviving" it, contrary to what jbm said ~nyaa-nyaa.

Every forum decides when a thread is considered dead. If a certain forum thinks that a thread without activity for two weeks is dead, then it is.

Why is the signature size rule (500x200 image size max) not even remotely close to being enforced?

Considering that there's also four lines allowed, it's about 500x300 or so. BUT. As long as the width is not stretching the page, it's fine. Though on my end, I still *try* to enforce the height because I find it tedius to scroll so much just to read a post with an obnoxious height. If it does start getting ridiculously out of hand, then we'll stop being lenient on that.

But the rule was created because of people putting YouTube videos in their signature before and such.

What constitutes NSFW (for example, a bikini-clad girl)? Do NSFW rules differ in the signature?

NSFW: Must be clearly labaled and, if possible, linked to rather than posted directly. Images containing kissing, blushing, saliva, drinking and panties are allowed. Generally you can use your own discretion when it comes to NSFW.
