[Suggestion] Forum Social rules and guidelines

Hi all,

I recently was moderated, my post was edited. I understand this as soft reminder about our rules on this board, but wait ..what rules? I have really problems finding them and gave up after some time.
Also I do not want to question moderation at this stage.

Therefore I suggest following for this forum:
Please discuss.
____________________
Social rules and guidelines

Do

Following are some guidelines that you should keep in mind when posting. Remember that the general topic on the bulletin board is (insert name)

* Post in English, using proper mixed case and punctuation. A single exclamation mark (!) or question mark (?) is enough.
* Use a relevant, specific and descriptive subject for a thread. "I was thinking of something" and "Here's an idea" are not good topics.
* Stay on topic. When posting a new thread, make sure it fits into the topic of the forum. When replying to a post, make sure to stay on the topic of the thread you're posting in.
* Be constructive and back up your statements. If quoting, make sure to quote all relevant text, and if needed, provide a link to the source.
* Pay the moderators and other volunteers proper respect. They spend their spare time to assist and improve the games community.
* Be nice, especially to newcomers. Let people become acquainted with the environment and do beginners' mistakes without patronising them. Please respect that people may have a different political, religious, philosophical, and cultural background than you.
* Facts, details and testcase. Try to stick to facts and include as much details as possible when reporting a bug. Adding a testcase will also help Chris to reproduce your bugs.
* Play fair. Be truthful and respect other people's privacy. Do not misrepresent or impersonate others.
* Have fun! That's why we're all here. Just remember to have fun with others, not at the expense of others.
Don't

This is a list of things you should not do on our bulletin board. If you do any of this, you might find your access to the closed, possibly permanently.

* Flame. Flaming is verbally attacking people or groups of people - e.g. a profession, an organisation, Name-calling and defamatory comments are typical examples of flaming.
* Rant. Ranting is posting irate and normally unconstructive comments. It's normally used to let out frustration, but also as a form of trolling.
* Troll. Trolling is posting to provoke others, luring them to flame or rant. Trolling is sometimes done involuntary, so please be considerate when posting.
* Spam. Spamming is posting the same thing several times, or posting without any real content. "Bumping" (posting to move a thread up on the forum list) and cross-posting (posting the same thread in several forums) are examples of spam.
* Fight. Taking a personal conflict to the bulletin board is not needed. Allow those not involved to avoid having to see it.
* Use profanity. Please respect other users and do not use foul language and profanity in your posts. This includes trying to 'mask' such language by substituting letters or symbols.

Moderation

Moderation is not ever a topic for open forum. If you have any questions or feedback on moderation it should be addressed to the moderator via private message.

* Do not post threads questioning moderation. Such threads will be removed
* If a topic is closed or removed do not, under any circumstances, re-post the same topic or material. If you have any questions as to why a thread was closed or removed please contact the moderator via private message.
On the game:
* You are expected to exercise good judgment, common sense, and courtesy when interacting with fellow player. Any excessive antagonism or actions which detract from the quality of gaming experience that your fellow players are trying to achieve (ex. obscene character names, ranting in chat, and the like) can and will result in the loss of privileges. This may happen without advance warning, in extreme cases. Please keep your chat clean. If someone with a Admin / Mod tag asks you to tone it down, do so.
