READ THESE RULES!
READ THESE RULES!
1. This is NOT a complete list. Saying "It's not on the rules" is not an excuse; all moderators are to be given respect and listened to. If they warn you about something they're keeping you from being banned.
2. IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT OR CONCERN ABOUT A MODERATION ACTION ON YOUR ACCOUNT, PM A MOD. Do not post about it here. Do not ask about other peoples' bans or warnings - that's none of your business.
3. If a mod says not to post something, don't post it. This is not up for debate.
4. No foul or abusive language will be tolerated.
Period. It has no place in our community. Attempts to disguise bad language or bypass the language filters will not be tolerated.
5. No personal attacks will be allowed.
You’re welcome to disagree with another member’s opinion but attacking (flaming) and insulting another member is not acceptable. Intentionally starting flame wars could cause you to be banned for a while. Posting "lol look at this stupid thing this person did" is a personal attack. Posting "wow isn't this a nooby place" is a personal attack. Posting PM strings where you totally pwn the other person is a personal attack.
6. No degrading racial comments are allowed.
Self-explanatory. You WILL be banned.
7. No drug, alcohol, or tobacco references.
Discussions about or references to drugs and alcohol are not allowed.
8. No inappropriate references.
There’s no question that Internet is full of degrading inappropriate material and comments. Roblox is fully G-rated, it must be KEPT that way. This will get you instantly banned.
9. No “this vs. that” posts (ie Ford vs Chevy).
These types of threads invoke strong opinions, flaring tempers, and often result in flame wars and mass penalties. These threads will ultimately end up being deleted.
10. No pointless complaining, moaning, and whining.
This mostly applies to the operation and moderation of the online community. Members will be banned, threads removed, and so on based on the clearly defined rules. Publicly bemoaning the operation of the community and the way the rules are enforced will not put you in good favor with the moderators. If you have a legitimate concern or suggestion, PM a moderator. This also includes "pity threads", meaning ones proclaiming you're leaving, my cat died, etc.
11. No advertising or spamming.
It is our goal to keep the online community free from advertising and spam. We do not allow companies or individuals to actively market products, services, or websites to board members. Links to Roblox stuff is all right, but don't post about your personal chatroom or such.
13. No dangerous or harmful posts.
Posts that encourage members to participate in activities that we deem to be harmful or dangerous to members will be deleted (i.e. lighting things on fire, jumping cars over people etc.). Doing this stuff in Roblox is fine, in the real world it's not and can get you to be seriously hurt.
14. No random posts in help me threads.
If you are posting in a help topic, HELP OR DO NO POST. Nothing is more annoying than having a 3 page thread and no-one helping you.
15. No Trading.
If you want to trade, use the RoblEX. Don't trade on the forums, and don't announce that you've put a trade on the RoblEX and that you REALLY REALLY want somebody to take you up on it. Don't beg for donations either - it's tacky. If you want money, go find some way to earn it.
16. Make threads with an appropriate title.
ALL THREADS IN ALL FORUMS MUST ABIDE BY THIS.
Your titles should tell you what the thread is about. It shouldn't be a "surprise". Make the titles mean something.
"Hi there!" is OK.
"I made a new map it's called Battleroads" is OK.
"Guess what!?" is BAD.
"I just...." is BAD.
"place" is BAD.
"Come see!" is BAD.
Spelling it out clear here:
Any title that does not describe the thread is in risk of being locked.
Any misleading title that makes one assume there is different stuff in the thread than there is WILL be locked.
Any title that is deemed inappropriate (by the moderators, not by other users Razz ) will be removed and the user punished.
Any JOKE TITLES, involving one to assume that you are swearing or otherwise doing inappropriate things in the thread WILL BE TREATED LIKE IT'S THE REAL DEAL. That means you will be banned. Alright? Don't do that, it's really annoying and makes moderation harder to do.
17. Spam is not allowed.
Off Topic is for topics not related for Roblox. This includes things like talking about school, about favorite pets, things like that. It does NOT include things like
spam here
post random things
bang your head on the keyboard to see what you get
help me get top xxx poster
ask me random questions
If you continue to do so, we can and will lower your post count.
If you are confused about what spam is, PM a mod.
18. Spell properly. This isn't AIM.
If you want people to take the time to read your post, then take the time to write it out properly. Saying "ru ok wit dat?" may take less time for you to type, but it takes longer for us to read. "Are you ok with that" doesn't take much longer. This isn't a chatroom, type properly.
19. Do not reply to threads just to reply.
Replying with things like 'uh.. ya' or 'what' doesn't help the thread at all. If you don't have anything to
say, don't say it. If the only thing you can think of to say is mean, don't say that either.
20. Don't pick fights.
Posting things just to get people mad is called flaming. Posting in a thread just to say the topic sucks is trolling. Both are punishable actions.
Posting "pwnd!" or anything similar after a mod corrects another player is also a form of flaming. If a mod corrects another player, do not respond and tell that player how they just got owned. They know they got owned. You know they got owned. Just leave it alone.
Don't respond to people just to respond. If you don't have anything to actually say, don't say anything. Yes, that means that just posting "no u" or "kthxbai" or "inb4lock" or any of those other one-liners is still spam, and is still not allowed.
21. Don't bump old threads. They're cOLD. Leave them alone.
22. Keep your signature short.
There's no support for sigs in here, and having an 8 line sig is annoying and has got to be annyoing to copy and paste all the time. So keep them nice and small, out of the way. Having a sig over 2 lines makes your post longer than your character, making the page longer, meaning more scrolling and more spam.
So keep 'em small and you can keep 'em. Otherwise, no sigs.
Also, don't make posts just to show off your signature, or to include your signature if you forgot it in a previous post. That's direct spam and can get you warnings.
23. "Because the mod said so" is always the winning argument to any discussion about the rules. Always.
24. Again, this is not a complete list. Changes will be made.
Please follow these rules so we can all be fair too each other. Thank you.
