Can we have a poll please? DOES ANYONE BOTHER TO READ THE FORUM RULES?

I'm sitting here in amazement at the number of threads I have gone into read tonight where the authors haven't bothered to read the forum rules!

The rules are there for a reason and there are three things that I'd like to bring to all newbies attention if I may - in the hope you'll all read this!

dRD - Da Boss says

which basically means talking about piracy or asking questions about how to do it is also off-limits.

I know from experience that using this function has answered 90% of my queries - hence I lurked around alot before actually posting. Now of course we would love to see you posting but more often than not you won't need to start a new thread - you can add onto one that is already there and holds the answers to your queries.

loaded - Moderator says:

This is a personal peeve of mine - please please please put relevent information in your thread or post topic. It really does help those who can help you. For example if I see a thread on converting avi to vob or the like, I won't even go into read that thread. Why, cause I know nothing about it and don't at this stage need to, so I'd have nothing to contribute.

By saving me the time of entering the thread I can then go read another one - and hopefully imput something helpful.

So come on and fess up! how many of you have actually read the forum rules?

And just incase you don't know where they are:

LOL - this is a good one ;-)

A poll about reading forum rules posted in a forum for DVD Help. Hmmm...i wonder if the poster read the forum rules and realised it should be in the All Other Topics forum or the Safety valve....lol

 

Have to admit i havent read the rules but your right i have seen a lot of ppl ask some realy stupid questions about piracy. At some time common sense has to prevail. I guess some ppl dont have any.

 

Forum rules, huh, what the heck is that. I though this was a free forum to post anything. That's a bummer

Now i know from experience about getting booted. It was a long time ago, cause i didn't read the forum rules, and i posted a link to answer someone's question. OOPS. Well needless to say i learned my lesson after that and read the rules. THOROUGHLY. Gee, i wonder why i haven't been BOOMED yet? HMMMMMM

Going along with madbaz, commonsense is no longer common. Maybe they should rename it to raresense, since so few people have it now. I think all the Mods and addicts have this raresense, maybe except Praetor and Oriphus.

 

Whats a Boom?

 

A boom is when u go to log on and post and it says - sorry arsewipe, you've been banned for being a prick....

I'llbe honest as well, i aint ever read the forum rules and ive been here a long time - but then again i am responsible.....;-)

 

I like Praetors famous BOOM!
If annoy him, he will BOOM you on out of here

Should make it when they go to post, tick have you read the forum rules, When they go Submit show them the rules, and ask them again, and if they agree and they havent, give Praetor the joy of BOOM!ing them
lol

Nice post grogey. I've read the rules from time to time if I questioned whether or not what I was going to post would border on breaking one. Once you've seen a few posts where people get to "retire early," it should be enough to make you scan over them anyway.

 

Nicely found Nephilium - look what i found as well mate:

What can I say?



You guys have certainly made my day

 

It was either you Praetor or shoey. That should be the link below. It's definitley the case where i didn't read the forum rules.

It wasnt Praetor as he wasnt Mod back then, most likely our buddy Shoey - but hey - thats life. I was kicked out of a forum about 10 times for using fowl language - but thats just me.

So anyone whos gonna kick me outta here for fowl language can go Fu*k themselves lol ;-) Of course im kidding - im a nice guy *Nice Guy Chris*

 

Oriphus, Didn`t Dela ban you once jokingly. I remeber thats when he saw the button next to Da boss name. I dared him, but he didn`t think the boss would find it as funny.

Rules, we have rules? But to be honest, yes I am a geek and yes I read the rules. I almost read them twice untill I noticed the link was the same on different thread.

Horray for me, being the only reader. But this was the first forum I ever signed up on.

 

Hmmm...i cant remember if Dela did. I think he talked bout doing it for a laugh - i guess we can find out from him if he posts lol....

Atleast someone has read them lol - good for you old boy - prouud of ya

 

This is a good thread. I really do wonder how many people read the rules.

You could do a stats assignment on it, read rules and were banned. Didn't read the rules and now an Addict or Mod.
