Thumbshare

Channel rules: Updated

Journal Entry: Mon Dec 4, 2006, 2:40 PM




Complaints
  • All complaints must be directed to *Thumbshare via a note. Commenting on, or noting a Founder's or Moderator's personal account with your complaint will be ignored, and it is considered harassment. (In some cases) This may result in an immediate and permanent ban depending on your actions. If you would like to make a suggestion please visit our Comments and Suggestions forum or note *thumbshare

General Conduct

  • Be considerate with your language, and don't be an annoyance to others. Thumbshare Moderators reserve the right to kick or possibly ban any parties involved in heated arguments and discussion. While rules may not be technically broken by the participating members at the time, it is detrimental to the flow of the room to allow such altercations to continue. Therefore, it is within any Moderator's power to hold those responsible for not controlling their opinions, behaviors, and tempers.
  • Limit the use of profanity. Racist Slurs, anti-Semitic or other derogatory remarks about philosophies and religions, as well as highly offensive and hostile remarks based on gender or sexual preference will result in a kick and/or ban from #Thumbshare.
  • Threatening, directly insulting, or harassing your fellow chatters is prohibited and can result in an immediate ban from the chatroom. (This rule extends to journals related to events/deviants in the chatroom.)
  • Do not ask A/S/L or any variations of this. Such as, "How old is everyone?" You may ask one (i.e. location) as long as it fits into natural conversation and is aimed at one person in particular.
  • Please do not ask for critiques, comments, pageviews, favorites or full-views in #Thumbshare. Generally, if you are sharing a thumb, you are already asking for such and asking is redundant. Not only this, it adds unnecessary clutter.
  • If you were banned, do not create multiple accounts and/or come in on your other existing accounts. You cannot avoid a ban. If you are caught doing so, you will be banned on all accounts, and the ban will be lengthened or made permanent. If you are a member and you are banned you will return as a Guest and will need to go through the same process as before to become a member.
  • Bots and scripts are not allowed in thumbshare without prior permission from a founder. Any identified bots will be instantly banned and possibly their owner as well. The following are the only scripts allowed: dAx , dAmn.extend, Zikes Emote script
  • Thumbshare is English only. Please refrain from speaking in other languages. This rule has been enacted to make moderation possible in all instances, as moderators obviously cannot moderate a language they cannot understand.
  • DO NOT ask to be promoted. Any requests to be promoted to any user level [Members, Seniors, Moderator] will be ignored and could result in a ban. Asking will only ensure you will never be promoted.
  • We appreciate assistance to fellow chatters, but please do not interfere once a moderator has stepped in.
  • *Note: The Moderators will use their discretion in the above category of Chatting/ General conduct in #Thumbshare*

Spamming

  • Avoid excessive shouting (use of all-caps), excessive use of bold, excessive word streeeeeeeetching or flooding (continuous posting of repetitive text) in
    #thumbshare. Flooding is defined as any rapid or high-volume posting. This includes but is not limited to thumbnails, or text.
  • Do not use #Thumbshare to advertise your chatroom, community or website without the permission of a #thumbshare Founder.
  • Do not post the same thumb repeatedly over a short period of time or post one thumb repeatedly in a line. It is unfair for the other guests/members in the room.
  • Members are allowed five thumbs per line, and guests three thumbs per line. If you wish to contribute many thumbs, post one line of thumbnails, and then allow at least five minutes before posting your next set of thumbnails. Maintain this thumblimit even when thumbnails appear not to work or as gray boxes (more information on this in our FAQ). Do not use a bot or script to post thumbnails.
  • Do not use the multiline input while posting thumbs, post them in just one line.
  • Do not name spam. When posting a message to more than a couple people leave out usernames. This prevents postspam of away messages.
  • Do not post an excessive amount of emoticons in one line, or repeatedly post emoticons line after line. "Emote spamming" slows down the room considerably.
  • Large emotes such as the llama emote are considered equal to a thumb. More than one or two of the same large emote in a line is considered spam.
  • The llama emote may be posted only once every five minutes, regardless of who post it.
  • *Note: The Moderators will use their discretion in the above category of Spamming.*

Links

  • Do not post thumbnails or links which contain:
  • Pornographic or nude deviations as defined by deviantART's Submission Agreement (deviations marked as mature and deviations in the artistic nude category excluded; however, pornographic images uploaded as deviations are not).
  • Links which may contain viruses.
  • Links to pornographic images or text.
  • Links to add +devwatch or +favorite (example: my. deviantart.com/deviants/add/Thumbshare or www. deviantart.com/favourite/#######/)
  • Links to websites with racist/hateful content (websites that promote Racism or other derogatory propaganda about philosophies, religions and/or sexual preference.)
  • *Note: Breaking any of the rules above in this category will result in an immediate ban*
  • Do not post links in general unless they are addressed to one person and do not fit in any of the above descriptions. Users may be kicked or banned for posting any link to an outside website that is offensive or disruptive to the room.

Thumbbot

  • If you were listed as a Guest or Member then do not abuse Thumbbot's features. A moderator has the right to remove your access to Thumbbot at any point in time for violation of this rule.
  • If you were listed as a Thumbbot member, then DO NOT use bold tags, caps, icons or an excessive amount of emoticons in your usernames definition (!nick def). This rule has been enacted to reduce spam in the #thumbshare channel. Failure to comply with a moderator to change your !nick will result in losing your Thumbbot privileges.

Keep It Legal

  • We do not allow any illegal activities. We are not responsible for anything you say in the chatroom, or for any consequences that arise from what you say. If you break the law, you alone will be responsible for the consequences.
  • You cannot use #thumbshare to publish, post, distribute, or disseminate defamatory, infringing, obscene, sexual, or other unlawful material, images, text, or information.

Be Safe

  • We caution you against giving out personally identifiable information (such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, names and addresses, telephone numbers and driver license numbers) to strangers online, as this information may be used for illegal or harmful purposes.

Its quite hard to re-read them all the time, and ATM I cant see any difference: If the channel rules are updated you could point out the changes (make them italics, bold or whatever).

You shall not take over the world.
:iconwalloftruth:
We reworded almost everything. If we were to point out the changes then users would only read the parts highlighted and not the entire Journal. I would rather our members read the rules in their entirety rather than only parts that were edited.
