Example of other Forum rules

[James Deuce]

"1- Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Users are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting.

2- Threads should remain on topic, do not "hijack" topics.

3- Do not open a new thread that duplicates a current topic.

4- Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users and HTC. Flaming or abusing users is not tolerated.

5- Flamebaiting, trolling, or posting to incite or annoy is not allowed.

6- Members are asked to not act as "back seat moderators". Issues with any breach of rules should be brought to HTC's attention via email at support@***.com.

7- Members should remember this board is aimed at a general audience. Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated. This includes attempts to bypass the profanity filter.

8- Cheating allegations or descriptions are not allowed. Email support@***.com to report any issues regarding this. HTC permanently bans anyone caught cheating in Aces High. We take cheating and allegations of cheating very seriously.

9- Complaints about a player's behavior online should be emailed to support@***.com rather than posted to this board.

10- Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstance.

11- Deprecated.

12 - Users are permitted to upload one of their own avatars. Avatars must be in good taste and consistent with the other rules of this board.

13- Do not punt topics. Punting would be making a non-substantive post for the express purpose of bring the thread to the top of the thread list.

14- Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing". That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large, small or coloured text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts.

15- Threads started or, posts made, with the intent to inflame, incite will be considered trolling and not allowed.

16- All posts, in public forums, should be made in the English language.

17- Threads started devoid of commentary will not be allowed (i.e. links, cut-n-pastes, clicky, read this...)

Posts and threads may be edited, deleted, or locked for violations of these rules. Continued or blatant violation of these rules may result in a temporary or permanent ban. "

Your post gets replaced with the rule it broke.

Abuse a Mod once and go bye bye.

That's moderation.

That was only for a month.

Well-deserved, too, but trust me, she was really drunk when she made all those posts.

Poor wee thing. Snored terribly that night, too.

yeah she went a bit OTT with the abuse in a major way, thought it was best to let her do something else for a while, like rob people

Something to do with them knowing that if they do push it they'll get banned straight away. Seems the thing we do wrong here is not ban people instantly.
