Hi there! Welcome to the forums!

Either you've decided to click the link at the top, or a staff member has redirected you here in an attempt to get you to use basic skills of common sense. Regardless, we'll be here in the Rules Department to help you get to the grips of being a good member here at OMGWTF?!, where rulebreakers have their necks measured before they "disappear". No pressure.



Spam is not tolerated. Basically, when you decide to go off topic to hit on a random chick that happens to have said something to you, we will make sure you feel the hard stingy force of a bumfuck from a spiked banhammer. This goes for posting pornography also. Most of us do not want to see a huge picture of a guy masturbating with his penis on fire. Double posting also counts as spam since, after all, there is a fucking edit button in case you wish to add some shit in, yeah? Advertising will also removed, since this forum isn't a fucking billboard for your shitty reviewing and editing 'skills'.

If you wish to freely blow off some steam; somehow without resorting to masturbation, you can freely post spam in the spam forum, excluding pornography and advertising, since we don't want a billboard in the spam section advertising Viagra when you could be... spamming. How fun!

You'll be more likely to be accused of spamming if nobody can derive enough context from what you're saying - if you make a joke and you don't have any punctuation or grammar, you may find yourself on the banlist. For your own sake, type in ordinary queen's English.



This rule applies everywhere. Don't fucking flame people, don't be fucking racist, and don't be the IrateGamer. Just don't be a dick to people for no reason. If you have a reason, such as the person talking to you being an idiot, by all means, continue so long as your topic is still alive at the end of it. When one of you gets out, you'll have a lot of fixing to do. People rarely get out. STFU.



Oftentimes, the forum is fairly convenient as it exists, but the rest requires you to pitch in. As the saying goes, what goes around comes around. This does not mean that when you blow your load, it'll end up in your face - it just means that if you make the forum convenient for everyone else, everyone else will feel the benefits and will do the same for you. There you go, you have a fully functioning forum, albeit full of pimply nerds with no chance in hell at a social life.

Instead of creating new topics for everything you can think of, search the forums. You may be reluctant that the built in searching has been down for several years, but the Google system that has taken its place still does it's job. In the end, you'll find a topic that has likely degraded already, so you don't have to go to the trouble. If you have something worthwhile, revive the topic if it has been inactive for a while. If you can't find the topic you're looking for, it doesn't exist. Create one. Make sure to but it in the correct forum - there's plenty of them you can use, and they all do their job. If you have a link offsite, use the BBS tags, and add the underline tags as well so people know if it's a link. If you don't, you will look like an idiot. We purposefully put that in just to see you all make a measly effort to post something worthwhile.

Warns are your friend. Only if you don't have them, though. You will be warned when you break a rule, and as harsh as it may sound, you'll have the warn forever. It will never, ever decrease, once you have it, you can't get rid of it. Kinda like an STD. As soon as you get one, you will forever be stuck as a simple member - you'll never be able to become part of the staff or be a senior member. You'll likely get informal warnings from fellow members and staff about a rule you may have missed, but once you waive that benefit of doubt, you'll forfeit benefit in general by getting a warn. It's that simple. Just don't do anything wrong.
