Forum rules and expectations

[Tam Hawnx]

Guys,

Is there a place where I can read the Terms and Conditions of the forum?  I've had several posts removed and locked and if I had known the rules of the forum I might have been able to avoid being given a final warning for a permanent ban.

Help me educate myself so I can keep the admins happy.

Go to the ban appeal section bro.

I am not looking to appeal a ban..  I am looking to understand the rules of the forum of what is an acceptable topic and what is not an acceptable topic.  While the admins have their itchy fingers over the ban button, I want to make sure I do my due-diligence in making sure I understand the rules.

If I got a perm ban from Altis, it'd be a long and depressing time for me.  I'd sooner rather have my wife leave me!!!

This is something I believe they don't have available, at least not publicly. All those actions are probably at admins' discretion.

If that's the case, it makes for a very unorganized community leaving its members confused on acceptable topics.  At least for me it does.  I am on a final warning, I cant risk it!!

Incorrect, he removed my post, not banned me.  I cant mention the name of the person who banned me.  I am GUESSING thats why its removed.

Why?  I feel its very informative.  Whats wrong with knowing the boundries and limitations of topics discussed...?  Im confused as this can help the community..

If this gets locked than I am going to be very sad.

I am looking for forum rules.  If there arent forum rules, then this is the first community I've been apart of where there are no forum rules.

I am writing in english, yes?  Clearly folks responding dont speak english as their first language or really have poor reading comprehension as it is clearly laid out in my first post of what it is I am looking for.

There used to be a comprehensive post about forum rules in the Gameplay and Rules section, though I can't find it at the moment. 

But here are the basic ideas, abide by them and you won't have a problem.

1) Don't be a dick. This is really the core tenant of all interactions on Asylum. Being a dick can mean a lot of things, don't do those things and everything will be okay.

2) No hate speech. Should go without saying, but racism, sexism, homophobia and the like are zero-tolerance issues. Treat everyone with dignity and respect. 

3) No flaming, no name-and-shame, no publicly portraying others in a negative light. The forums aren't the appropriate outlet for airing grievances with other players. So even if Jeff RDMed you at Rebel (winks) you can't come on the forums and call him a fucking douche. Record and report, keep public discussion civil. 

4) Don't ruin threads. Whether it's derailing or whatever else, don't ruin productive threads.

5) No nudity, porn, or other NSFW content. 

6) Don't be a dick. Just reiterating how important this one is. 

7) Don't publicize exploit methods, hacks, or private information. If you discover something, send it through the proper channels, don't teach everyone on the forums how to dupe etc.

That pretty much covers it, but I'll include a few brief non-rule suggestions for a positive forum experience. 

1) Be constructive. Everybody has ideas about how things should work. When throwing ideas out there, state them plainly in a respectful manner rather than PMing @Volunteer281 and telling him to "get off his lazy fucking ass and fucking fix the servers or else you'll DDoS him into the stoneage."

2) As an addendum to the first suggestion, be polite and amiable with other users. While not strictly speaking mandatory, people generally hate those that do nothing but insult, belittle, and generally spread negativity at every opportunity. 

3) Don't be  a dick. Really can't emphasize this enough. 

 

Anyway, if you follow these rules you shouldn't have any issues on the forums. Sometimes posts will get hidden or deleted for various other reasons, e.g. containing a quote that breaks the rules.

Welcome to the community and I hope this answers your question.

Ah, finally.  Thank you.  Maybe now I can keep the angry admins off my case!  ;D

pretty sure that's just you saying that bro 

secretly Buck hates Volunteer and made that whole post just to say that discreetly 

[HapHazard]

Regardless of any rules you may or may not have found, generally when an admin or contributer tells you to not post your complaint about your ban again, which you then proceed to ignore, that's not exactly the brightest thing.
