Mint Petal 258 October 4, 2011 Share October 4, 2011 I know that spamming will eventually come to this forum, so what are the rules on that, specifically? Also, will there be anything on bumping/necroposting at all? And how will the ban system work, when you guys have to come to that eventually? If you haven't quite completed that part that's fine, just voicing a bit of concerns, since there's A LOT of haters out there who may try to get here. Just your average antisocial unicorn.

Gummy 725 October 4, 2011 Share October 4, 2011 I am quite interested in this as well. I know people who see red at the very mention of ponies. PC Supremacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzy 71 October 4, 2011 Share October 4, 2011 (edited) Pretty sure people who sign up here to express their hatred for our entire fandom fall under the category of "being a troll." Which should be a bannable offense. I doubt this will be an issue. Edited October 4, 2011 by Bonzy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Bloom 2,933 October 4, 2011 Share October 4, 2011 I would also like to know, and just curious but are you guys going to add mods as necessary or go ahead and assign them and are you going to have guides like the Wii U Forums? 1 Signature by @Nico.

Oh please no guides, it makes it feel like such a kiddy forum. We dont need to greet everyone that joins, we are Bronies, all a part of the herd. 2 PC Supremacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. We shouldn't need people to greet all new members.We're all part of one fanbase, so we should have no problem getting along. Welcomes lose their meaning if it's your job to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyraHeartstrings 482 October 4, 2011 Share October 4, 2011 I hope that we are all mature enough to have common sense and respect. If somepony seriously goes on this forums just to troll us, they are just a plain old flip-flop... 1 Why are you dragging your cursor over my signature? Is there a problem here? Do you maybe expect something special? Honestly, that's kind of creepy. Are you trying to get as much information about me as possible? Maybe you're going to copy and paste this into onto your little collage or all things Lyra? (me, not the awesome BG pony...) You seriously have issues dude... I pity you.

Founder Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,526 October 4, 2011 Founder Share October 4, 2011 I know that spamming will eventually come to this forum, so what are the rules on that, specifically? Also, will there be anything on bumping/necroposting at all? And how will the ban system work, when you guys have to come to that eventually? If you haven't quite completed that part that's fine, just voicing a bit of concerns, since there's A LOT of haters out there who may try to get here. Thanks for your concern, Kaasha. It is important that everyone is aware of how things are run around here. As Bonzy said, MLP haters who join up will most likely be covered by our no trolling rule. Members found to be causing unrest in the community, even if they are not explicitly breaking any rules, may also be subject to a closer look by the moderation. We have a rule against spamming: Don't derail threads, and make an effort to write quality, on-topic posts worth reading. Spamming two-word replies to every topic you see for the sake of increasing your post count is only going to attract contempt from the community. While we're at it, do not double post. It is little more than a means of artificially inflating your post count.People found to be spamming repeatedly may be placed on mod queue, meaning that a moderator will need to manually approve every post they make. They may also be subject to post counter penalties. IP.Board has its own defense against double-posting, by the way. Any double post made within 1 year of the first one will automatically be merged. I don't typically have rules against bumping on my forums because I prefer necroposting to duplicate threads. Depending on how the community develops, this may change. I wish I could elaborate further on our banning policies, but as every case is different, we will be giving each case individual attention. Generally, however, members will receive a warning via PM before being banned. The moderation will also keep detailed notes and records on all cases and all members involved. Hope that answers your questions. 2 Avatar credit: robinrain8 Signature credit: Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mint Petal 258 October 4, 2011 Author Share October 4, 2011 You'd be surprised, honestly. Trolls will do anything to get a reaction from anyone, including the bronies. Just your average antisocial unicorn. Retired fan-fiction author. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gummy 725 October 4, 2011 Share October 4, 2011 Yeah the whole reason why bronies got kicked off of SA was because it attracted so many trolls. Goatse and bronies dont mix PC Supremacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
