Guest Jobber of the Week Posted May 30, 2003 Report Posted May 30, 2003 What's up with the gimmicks? It seems like "Gimmicks are not illegal, but will get you banned" Can you clarify? I hate people posing as wrestlers or people like that one guy who went on in every post about how Nash was the greatest wrestler of all time or something, but I found That 1996 Guy and Gimmick Poster.com (until he got banned for something, I guess he was a former ban?) were amusing.
DrVenkman PhD Posted May 30, 2003 Report Posted May 30, 2003 Question: My signature (which I need to change since my last SOG is so long ago I want to remove the link for now) has a link for an IRC pals news headline collecting site. It's part of my sig and is therefore only shown after I've contributed something to a thread... but should I remove it anyway?
The Dames Posted May 30, 2003 Author Report Posted May 30, 2003 No, you don't have to remove that. Advertising in sigs is allowed. Dames

From what I gathered: Be entertaining and you'll be OK. If the gimmick gets banned, and you come back as another gimmick, you're gone.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted May 30, 2003 Report Posted May 30, 2003 and don't have too many gimmicks or Dames will get pissed and ban them. what did Tim Moysey's Biggest Fan ever do to you Dames!! you big bully.
Guest RenegadeX28 Posted June 1, 2003 Report Posted June 1, 2003 what would mods and admins consider VERY Tasteless..... That's going to vary from person to person, but I imagine Jubuki's asshole remark that got him banned would be a good yardstick. I don't think any of us are easy to offend, and I know we don't go around looking for things to possibly offend us. Something that's a judgment call is almost impossible to quantify. Yeah, that really should be the yardstick for tasteless........ I still can't believe what an idiot that guy was.......
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted June 2, 2003 Report Posted June 2, 2003 I like this. Now I have a set of guidelines to go by.
Guest Marshall Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 What if I wanted to post about some VCDs that I'm selling? Would that be spam?
The Dames Posted June 3, 2003 Author Report Posted June 3, 2003 Well, as long as you don't go in every folder and every thread you post in to do so, no. At least you contribute to the forums. Dames
Guest Marshall Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 So would it best in the tape trading folder or Movies. They're mostley none wrestling. For the record, I doubt anyone will be interested.
Guest Danny Dubya v 2.0 Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 Make sure both you and every other mod/admin follow your own rules TO THE LETTER, please, if we have to. *points to signatures*
Guest DrTom Posted June 4, 2003 Report Posted June 4, 2003 Dames' sig is under half a page. And since mine lacks a picture and doesn't feature a boatload of text, I know mine does, too. So... ha! and stuff.
The Dames Posted June 4, 2003 Author Report Posted June 4, 2003 I think he was talking about Kahrans. Dames
Guest Kingpk Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 I've got a suggestion for one more rule: "If you come upon a thread that you feel is stupid , the worst thing you can do is reply to it, since all it does is drag it down and put it to the top of whatever folder it is in, which causes more people to see it and add their damn opinion and drag it to 11 pages when it should have died at 11 replies." Ok, not really a RULE, but advice a lot here could stand to take.
Guest TheGame2705 Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 KingPK if you weren't a girl, I'd like you.
