Alright, since we've had some...trouble, shall we say, boiling up, this is to make it clear what the rules are right now. And yeah yeah yeah, I know we've never had rules tailored to specific users or posting specific stuff, but that ends now.

Also, this is to announce the firing of Mega due to inactivity and the hiring of Aloe as a Moderator. Congratulations to her! (No disrespect meant by the double purpose thread, there are just a couple issues that are more pressing at this point.)

Here we go. Generally speaking:

-I have advised Winkley and Aloe that the double posting rule is not to be enforced. General reminders can be given (ahem, edit button), but no verbal warnings or real warnings will be given out unless blatant infractions are recorded, i.e. triple posts or excessive double posting. This will basically be enforced as needed.
-Spamming. Everyone's question after the "Der for admin" thing. That was considered spamming because it was off-topic. Off-topicness will NOT be allowed (my apologies Wink if this is different than what I said before). New topic? New thread. That simple. The infraction system still applies. Verbal, then real.
-Everything else will remain the same.

As for certain users/post content:

-Der for admin. First and foremost, come on, seriously? We've gone through this before and I don't feel like going down the road again. It will NEVER HAPPEN. GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD. Therefore, anything containing it, in ANY form, will be considered spam. Even if your post is on topic. There are other ways to campaign uselessly. Siggys, avatars, user messages, headline messages, chatbox flooding. Do that. Don't post it.
-Der has received 2 warnings. He currently has no verbal warnings. Everyone else should still have a full warning bar.

Thanks for your attention to these matters, and I hope we can continue to have a successful rebirth of the forum.
