Same rules like the previous one:

Rules 1. All ToS rules apply and will be strictly enforced.
2. No posts consisting solely of smileys.
3. No double posts.
4. No image macros.
5. Posts must have a clear point: this is a chat and conversation thread, not a spam thread.
6. Posts must be pertinent: avoid random interjections that detract from an existing conversation.
7. No 'King of Thema Devia' roleplay is allowed.
8. No abuse of the tag system is allowed.

Failure to follow these rules may result in a Thema Devia forumban, or if en masse, the closure of this thread.

pann's rules, set 1: (now enforced my site moderators not him.)

I'm taking over moderation of this thread and Say Cheese, and I will shape these two threads however I like. I will periodically add or lift rules as I see fit. If something I do is within the Tribunal's remit, you can appeal to them and see if I've enforced the ToS correctly. Otherwise, you'll have to either persuade me to change my mind, or VONC me in the Curia.

1. No massive animated gifs. Anything bigger than sig level is definitely out, but I may cut a few that are under 250 KB as well, depending on my mood.
2. When I start deleting, I may delete liberally. If your post is one of those culled, if you want it back, the onus is on you to convince me that your post is of value, not on me to convince you that your post should be deleted.
3. Any e-bullying will be cracked down on with great severity. This is the part of the ToS that I feel strongest about, so I'll go by the book, and it's up to the Tribunal to tone it down if they see fit.

If you want to discuss anything about these, then please address it the moderation commentary thread.

Alright lets begin!

Hey everyone...Lol

**Diamat** · April 15, 2012, 11:21 PM

I'm going to bed. Just thought it would be a good idea to inscribe my name on the first page of our new chat thread.

**Raritу** · April 15, 2012, 11:21 PM

Let me guess, the old threads are going to be deleted, right?

**Diamat** · April 15, 2012, 11:26 PM

Yep. Just lost 400 posts! Yay! Celebration time!

Since many of the people will ask why this happened etc then it was done as per site owner's wishes. As some of you may know that we've been facing slow downs and 503 errors, so GED suspects that such threads which have 10k+ posts are possibly the cause of it.

So old ones have been removed and new ones have been opened. If you have any further questions about the technical reasons etc then please post in this thread instead.

In other news, i also stuck the "You Laugh, You Lose" thread, as i saw some users wanted it & since the thread is indeed famous and adored so i did it.

Yeah, I heard about that a while ago. I wonder why, though....

Thanks for sticking the YLYL thread!
