Forum Introduction rules - Read first!

[Chris]

For those who are browsing for the first time, I would personally like to welcome you to BF or Battleforums.com. We hope you will stay with us.

This is my welcome, but it isnt guaranteed some of the other members that are currently here won't be giving you a heart-filled welcome.

It has come to my (as Kinkarso's since we discussed it last night) attention a lot of people here have said unnecessary comments towards other members (both new and old here) and this is got to stop. It is things like these that are causing BF to "die". We want to keep members, not give them 10 **** yous when they just stop by to say hi, thus forcing them to leave because we are unfriendly and damaging the image.

To make things short. Here are examples:

This is a good welcome. With a little harmless joke.

Good. As the user has shown some interest in what the person does.

This is his idea of a welcome. IT basically means guard your assets that you came with.

This is ok.

================================================== ==========================
However, these are complete unacceptable!

so ur trying to tell us u were a top of the world halo 2 player then you played wow for ages then sold ur acc and ur not some fat nerd and u have a gf and will give pics if people are cool andn ow ur waiting to pwn nubs in sc2 sorry but what a ****LOAD OF ****ING BULL****

This is flat out mean, regardless if its true or not.

Shut the **** up about your newb gold. You sound like a fking moron.

This is insulting a welcome a previous member made. These too are unacceptable.

All of BF rules of trolling and flaming and spam are in effect. Mods or me decide the punishment. IF you have a dispute with an infraction, talk to the person who ISSUED it. And believe me, I am not afraid to do something about you like instant ban if you do it once.

This also applies to the thread starter AKA new person. If the forum starter makes unnecessary comments about any users here on BF, he or she will recieve infraction points. I know its kinda bad to newcomers, but once you signed up, you are legally a part of Battleforums.com.

From this point onward, any post after this point should be typed more in this manner. Should you break these welcome rules with hostility, then you shall be charged with either trolling or flaming, and your post moved. No questions asked, and no objections.

IF you are a the new person to our board, please help us flush out these problematic users by using our Report Post function on that person.
