I know there should be rules in these but I do not know what to put in them, aside from the 'Follow The TOS' and 'No Flaming/Trolling.'
Also, I am not sure what exactly to put as the intro for each. sweatdrop

Any ideas anyone?

Hmmm....I could probably help think up some ideas, but my mind is a bit off in la, la land at the moment.

What would you do...


Maybe one that says to post a warning if there's any explicit content in the music.



...if you weren't afraid?

@ Len: lol Fair enough.

@ Karu: Well, I won't censor someone if they post a link to an explicit song. I, myself, hate censored music. That's why I probably won't include that. I'll probably say something along the lines of: "Please try and keep the explicit music to a minimum, but I won't censor you if you feel the need to post one". That way it's telling them to try and keep it clean for the most part but they are allowed to post one if they feel the need to share a good song with other people. :3

EDIT: What about Gaming Galaxy though?

I have an idea. I'll just post the Intro to the sub-forums and the rules I have so far. I'll add more once we come up with them. 3nodding

I think what Karu was trying to say, is not to censor them, but to request that they put something along the lines of "Explicit Content" in their post to warn other members in the instance that they are sharing something on the vulgar side. This is just as a common courtesy to others reading the thread that may not be wanting to click and here "f*** YOU piece of %#!& and so on.

As far as Gaming Galaxy goes, there's not many rules out of the standard that's needed. Perhaps something along the line of, please announce spoilers as "SPOILER ALERT! and either "hide" or put the content in white text for those who still wish to read the thread and not have critical moments ruined. Don't bad mouth others' opinions and taste in games.

For an intro, perhaps suggest they (or start these threads off)

1)create threads to chat about your favorite games
2)write a game review
3)need help or advice on a game? start a thread and ask
4)share your gaming tips and secrets (got any good tricks? let's share them)
5)let's talk platforms: past, present and our hopes for the future
(what do you love, hate or hope to see?)
6)Emulators! (do you play any? where's the best place to get them?)
7)Platform trouble? Maybe we can help

Hm, I didn't think of some of those. I suppose I could edit my GG rules and MM rules and include a few of those. 3nodding Unless you already have taken the liberty and did it already. xp

Nope. I did not. That's your area and you should decide what you want for rules and the like. I'm just throwing out ideas since I've been around gaming forums before. ^_~
PostPosted: Fri Feb 27, 2009 2:36 pm


What would you do...


Lol yea, I'd never censor anyone.
I think it's just common courtesy to tell someone that a song might be on the Vulgar side.
Like,
Brokencyde - Blame Tom (vulgarity)

Just so either people who hate vulgarity or people who are young for it will know.
