Rules? Options

[pebkac]

I thought it would be appropriate to split this topic off from the rest of the "adapting the boards" thread. The current rules are as follows:

General forum rules - these rules apply across ALL forums on Techsans.net. Additional rules may apply for particular forums, so see those rules threads as applicable.

1. Love, Relationships & Adult Related (LRAR) is generally a Not Safe For Work (NSFW) forum. Browse at your own risk.

2. For other forums, link NSFW pics rather than using the IMG tags and mark them with (NSFW) or something similar. If an entire thread is generally NSFW, say so in the title. These guidelines are recommended for LRAR as well, but not required.

3. If you are discussing a news article (whether it be in NPR, Entertainment, or any other forum), post a link to the article in question (preferably a credible one if in NPR).

4. Posting the full text of an article is optional, but if posted please place it in a quote block to distinquish it from your commentary.

5. Don't ask someone else to summarize an article or ask for "Cliff Notes". If you want to know what it says, read it!

6. Spamming is fine to a reasonable extent and is most tolerated in the Off Topic forum. Spamming in the asdf thread is absolutely ok.

7. Trolling and flame wars are looked down upon, so keep such things in check.

8. No specific rules against double or triple posting, etc., but see #6 about spam above.

I'm of the opinion that all of the mods (myself included) simply need to enforce these rules better, but I know some people were in favor of adapting them a bit. What does everyone else think?
