*Note: This thread is not a replacement for the actual rules, it is just a supplement to them.
*Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you break any rule by doing things not on this list.
Rules are basically, no trolling and don't hurt people.
*Note: Rules are not meant to be taken literally, they are only guidelines. For example, if a troll is funny and he or she gets away with it, that's okay, it isn't a rule. If someone posts something inappropriate, but funny, then it's okay, it isn't a rule.
Basic stuff like that. Anyway, these rules are intended for OT: The Game, but may apply to other games in OT that have the same rules.
1. Don't troll
2. Do not say bad words to people or about people. I understand that people can be rude to each other at times, but there is a difference between people being rude to each other and people saying bad things about each other.
3. No personal attacks (PAing). If someone says your post or post idea sucks, that's fine, because you can simply post an alternative post or post idea. However, if someone PA's you, then they're trying to hurt or offend you. Also, PA's and "hate" threads are NOT allowed.
4. This is the part where you guys probably think I'm going to go all "no flames! no flames!" or whatever. But, I don't really care how things end up, as long as things don't get too out of hand. But, I guess just try to keep things calm and cool if you can.
5. What happens in OT stays in OT.
6. Don't spam.
7. This is pretty much a continuation of the second rule, but try to keep your posts on topic. There should always be a clear idea of what your post is supposed to be. If it's a joke, then say so. If it's a serious post, then say so. But, just make sure to have some kind of indication.
8. Don't overdo anything. Overdoing jokes can make them lame. Overdoing "serious stuff" can make it seem fake and untrustworthy. Pretty much, just don't overdo something if it isn't necessary.
9. No religious flame wars
10. No politics
11. Do not copy post ideas from other people. Now, I know you guys are creative and you can come up with original post ideas on your own, but there's nothing wrong with getting inspired by other people. So, just make sure that if you do copy a post idea, that you say where you got it from, that way you give credit to the person you got it from and no one will feel left out for coming up with cool ideas. Of course, there is nothing wrong with coming up with original post ideas that are not based off of other people's ideas, but if you DO copy a post idea, then credit the person who came up with it.
12. No religion
13. No politics
14. No religion
15. No political opinions (if you're talking about religion, then it is okay)
16. You are allowed to talk about other things besides OT: The Game in here. It doesn't have to ONLY be about OT: The Game. Just don't go too far and talk about completely unrelated stuff. It's okay to talk about other things as long as the topic of conversation is somehow related to OT: The Game in some way.
17. Don't spam. I already said this before, but I'm saying this again now because spamming is stupid and no one likes it. Spammers should be reported and banned immediately.
18. If you see someone doing something that's against the rules, then report them. I know some of you are probably thinking "Well what if I get in trouble for reporting?". Well, if that happens, then just tell me, and we'll handle it from there. But, if no one reports people for breaking the rules, then nothing will ever happen.
19. What was your favorite part about this list?
20. Please feel free to make suggestions to add to this list, and I can even add some of them to the actual rules of OT: The game as well.
21. When an admin or mod says "This thread is a PA of [insert username here]", then that means that they think the thread is directed towards or about one single user only, which is not allowed.
I hope that this helps. Thank you, and have a wonderful day.
