well, there is this on the register page:

"Lately there has been a lot of turbulence in the message boards regarding the current moderation standards. There seem to be two distinct groups of users : 1. Users that are not quite as vocal. They have grown tired of the senseless blabble that dilutes the informative and amusing conversation. 2. Users that engage in senseless blabble. Seeing that amount of users in group #1 far outweight the amount of users in group #2, the moderators have attempted to bring the sensless babble to a halt."

The "new" rules?

"Go light with the insults - It is welcomed to attack someone's ideas but please refrain attacking character. Watch the language - it would be ridiculous to ask a bunch of college students to eliminate the use of foul language in their discussion, that is not what I am asking. Just keep the 4 letter words out of the subjects of the message. The idea is for any new user to have to click 3-4 times before he/she gets offended Don't incriminate yourself - There is always the chance that a member of law enforcement could browse this board. Do not post anything that will incriminate you or someone else. Post new threads in the right section - Save us the trouble of having to move your topic to the correct section. Post in the right section to begin with. Stay On-Topic - Try to stick with the topic. If you have something important to say that doesn't relate to the topic, then start a new topic. If you have something useless to say, keep it to yourself. Be thoughtful/humorous - Hundreds of people browse the message board each day. Before you post something, think to yourself, "would the majority of the users want to read this?". If the answer is "no", then don't post it. No threads directed personally - Do you think the other thousand people on this site want to read some personal shit between you and your buddy? - NO. Use mail instead. Do not consecutively reply to a topic - If you are within the alloted timespan for editing a message that no one has replied to and you think of something to add, EDIT the message. DO NOT REPLY AGAIN. Constant abuse of this will not be tolerated. Do not fuck with the moderators - Not really a requirement, but more of a suggestion. A key suggestion: If they contact you in private about an issue, reply back in private. There is nothing that pisses them off more than you publicly broadcasting information meant for just you."

Proposed revision of the rules, by InsaneMan

(to be taken as a joke)



Go heavy with the insults - It is welcomed to attack someone's ideas and character.

Watch the language - It would be rediculous to ask a bunch of college students not to curse, so fuck you all.

Don't incriminate yourself - Dropout66 is the resident cop, and he will bastardize you if you fuck his sister.

Post new threads in the lounge, ALWAYS - The moderators will be happy to move it to the correct section for you.

Stay Off-Topic - Nobody likes to read the same stuff over and over.

Be thoughtful/humorous for the most important users - Hundreds of people browse the message board each day. Before you post something, think to yourself, "would Myrtle or InsaneMan want to read this?". If the answer is "no", then don't post it.

No threads directed personally unless its a gay love letter - NCSUStinger has his good days and his bad. On the bad days, he needs to stop holding back and write a gay love letter to his father.

Do not consecutively reply to a topic - If you are within the alloted timespan for editing a message that somebody has answered to, CHANGE THE QUESTION!! Make them say something stupid.

Do not fuck the moderators - Not really a suggestion, but more of a requirement. A key suggestion: If they contact you in private about a sexual issue, reply back in private. There is nothing that pisses them off more than you publicly broadcasting nude pictures of them meant for just you.
