Also, if you want to post porn, stick it in a spoiler tag with a warning as to what it is.Should also spoiler tag anything that could be really seizure inducing. Don't want to kill anyone, do we?

To expand on the list for mods
1: no censoring creative endeavors
2: Do not abuse mod powers by censoring items you do not like but are not against the rules
3: No using Red Text, use a different, less hostile color
All I've got.
A more comprehensive list of rules than "Don't be a dick" for the main post would probably be a good idea, so if anyone doesn't mind me writing up a first draft for it then here goes.
1: Don't be directly offensive to another forum member in an aggressive or hateful manner.
2: No directed racism, or comments that follow the actual definition of racism, such as being said in a hateful manner.
3: Don't spam, double posting is fine occasionally as long as there is a reason to do so.
4: Offensive, sexual, seizure inducing and questionable content should be placed behind a spoiler with an appropriate warning clearly written in the post. (Perhaps have an official colour for content warnings?)
5: No links to webpages that you know aren't safe, or may be questionably safe.
6: Do not attempt to work around a ban, doing so will likely result in an even longer ban or permaban.
A specific list of rules for Mod behaviour seems like it would also be a good idea, although so far all I've got is
1: Do not cause "The Moddening"
There is no such thing, all fan fic of that is far better than the original :P
Censorship should only be used against actual offensive things (bad 50 Shades fanfiction).
Dear god do you want to murder peoples eyesight?
In seriousness: I'll probably use the dreaded Comic-Sans in bright magenta to modtext people if they're being asshats or not cooling it. Any form of fiction will be strictly hands off, since the reason we moved was due to censorship.

I can deal with teal I guess.If you don't want to you don't HAVE to, and state what colour you would use...
That's a nice idea since it'll make it easier for people to know which mod it was, although it presents the problem of maybe being confusing unless the mod adds a name tag to the edit.Red has always been a staple moderator edit though. I know not of any forum that doesn't use red also
Red should definitely stay off limits for mod edits though, it does feel a little too agressive.
I guess you're rightyellow mod warnings, like i have been doing with the pr0n thread. red text means you goofed bad enough to get the admin on you, so......
Third draft for the rules would look like this then
1: Don't be directly offensive to another forum member in an aggressive or hateful manner.
2: No directed racism, or comments that follow the actual definition of racism, such as being said in a hateful manner.
3: Don't spam, double posting is fine occasionally as long as there is a reason to do so.
4: Offensive, sexual, seizure inducing and questionable content should be placed behind a spoiler with an appropriate warning clearly written in the post. The official colour for content warnings is Yellow
5: No embedded images of porn, links are fine but the forum itself should remain porn free.
6: No links to webpages that you know aren't safe, or may be questionably safe.
7: Do not attempt to work around a ban, doing so will likely result in an even longer ban or permaban.
Specific rules for Mod behaviour
1: Do not cause "The Moddening"
2: Do not censor creative endeavors ;Artwork, Stories or RP
3: Censor only offensive content as defined by the rules, not based upon your own personal opinion.
Mod-Edit colours will be;
Bubbadoo
ajwilli1
Perigrin
Lorknis
Dusty Trails
If that all seems fine and Perigrin is okay with editing it into the original post then I think the forum rules should be fine, obviously edits may need to be made to it still.
I'm quite tired at the moment and somehow that didn't quite make sense to me or I did't explain what I meant by content warnings properly.Look at the pr0n thread, ive been doing exactly that.
An example of what I meant by content warning, which I believe you suggested the idea to me back on the C:DDA forum
There's some weird shit in this spoiler tag, be careful *Description of weird shit*
But did you mean mod edits would be yellow, such as an edit from the mod in charge of that part of the forum, and an admin, such as yourself, would edit in red?
I can deal with teal I guess.
Just one more thingits done. Read the op.
Seigelion is part of the moderation now, his mod text colour should be included to. It seems to be a skyblue.
Okay, the rules list needs an update from what I'm gathering.Go with that. Rulechange pending.
Specifically Rule 5 should probably be changed to No ****/Adult Sexual Content or gore, since we have The Abyss for that now.
Also should my mod-edit colour stay as light blue since I'm now grey or should I use the light blue in LMG and the grey in The Abyss?
I'd lean towards using separate colours in separate sections of the forum, just to show that I'm editing separate parts of the forum.

Ok, adding a rule. If it makes ME puke, it had better be behind a spoiler.After this post, I suddenly have the urge to post images of horrifying spiders.
AND FOKIN WARN ABOUT SPIDERS JESUS.
I will temp ban you. I have SEVERE Arachnophobia. Like, I fokin shut down when I see the things.Ok, adding a rule. If it makes ME puke, it had better be behind a spoiler.After this post, I suddenly have the urge to post images of horrifying spiders.

making a rule regarding arachnophobia is fine, threatening to temp ban someone is not. My two cents.I'm tired, the dog hasn't stopped barking for two hours, I threw up, and I have a large bleeding wound on my leg. I'm a wee bit stressed. Also, I was trying to say that in jest. Ok, I move that :p be the universal Smile for sarcasm and jokes.
I propose it has to be a capital P. Like this: :Pmaking a rule regarding arachnophobia is fine, threatening to temp ban someone is not.
