I've gathered some ideas for rules which sadly are going to be needed soon we might as well get started I've gathered these rules as templates so that we have something to look at as we devise the rules for E2A Rule 1: Do NOT flame. Never flame, if someone flames at you, just make an admin or mod aware and let him/her handle the situation. If you do flame back, encourage others to flame or make a bigger deal out of it than it already is, as you can be punished as well. Rule 2: Do NOT spam. This is not a severe crime, but if you are spamming a lot or if you keep spamming despite warnings, action will be taken because of the annoyance it causes for others. Examples: posting something completely off-topic or random, repeat posting, posting in the wrong places repeatedly, lots of one word or single sentence replies to threads, etc etc etc. Rule 4: Respect each other. Do NOT disrespect other people here or elsewhere because they don't have the same opinion as you do. Remember that although you may or may not feel very strongly about a subject, others may or may not.. and you must tread carefully regarding the beliefs and views of others. So do not abuse or attack others for their personal choices or thoughts. This is very high on our list and shall not be tolerated. 4. Be polite and considerate. No flaming, attacking, harrassment, flamebaiting, "outing" of people or other anti-social behavior. 2. Keep it clean. No blatant profanity or sex talk, and no pictures featuring nudity or inappropriate activities. 1. No illegal discussions. Don't post anything that is against the laws of the US or other nations where we have members. This means: no threats, discussions of illegal activities and so forth. then of course the jagex rules: www.runescape.com/kbase/view.ws?guid=rules_of_conduct

Proposed rules most are these rules are basically the same as Jagex so if you follow their rules you'll be fine so lets get on with it:
Even2all Rules
1 Keep your language clean: profanity and sex talk are obvious a no-no as are pictures depicting inappropriate activities or actions.
2 We are all equals here so that means No flaming, attacking, harassment, flamebaiting,etc. its okay you don't agree with someone else's beliefs or opinions if you think your car, race, believes, education or nostril-activity is better than others, that is fine: we all should be proud of ourselves, but there is no reason to flare it around here against others.
3 we all like to be treated fair so: No Scamming, sharing accounts, real world trading, cheating, bug abuse
4 No encouraging breaking Jagex rules or posting illegal discussions ie anything that would be breaking the law.
5 Personal information: Remember the internet is public so be aware of that fact when posting personal information. what do you think?... I'll be back on in roughly 7 hours so add 7 hours to this post and that about when I'll be back on

I have nothing against 'unclean language' I know we have younger members, but.. they should understand they are in a merely adult group, if they are shocked.. there are clans that are for youngsters and very decent and clean. beside.. it is hard to check..
be carefull with personal information: DANG waht a good one!!!yezzzz though more an advise than a punishable rule.. but very good, serious
I'm not that .. pro-Jagex that I would subscribe their rules out of game, but.. acc sharing is not fair to the rest of our members, when joining in skillweeks, so that one stands firm.
there is no keeping rules if we don't punnish misbehaviour, but I know very well our powers are limited.
power tools in cummulating severity: 1- blocking from Forums for a period 2- blocking from event's for a period 3- blocking from clanchat for a period 4- banned from group for a period 5- banned from group permanent

Changed Proposed rules
Even2all Rules
1 Keep your language semi-clean:Sex talk is obvious a no-no as are pictures depicting inappropriate activities or actions and try and keep language semi clean as we do have younger members.
2 We are all equals here so that means No flaming, attacking, harassment, flamebaiting,etc. its okay you don't agree with someone else's beliefs or opinions if you think your car, race, believes, education or nostril-activity is better than others, that is fine: we all should be proud of ourselves, but there is no reason to flare it around here against others.
3 we all like to be treated fair so: No Scamming, sharing accounts, real world trading, cheating, bug abuse
4 No encouraging breaking Jagex rules or posting illegal discussions ie anything that would be breaking the law.
5More advise then a rule: Personal information: Remember the internet is public so be aware of that fact when posting personal information. _______________________________________________ "I'm not that .. pro-Jagex that I would subscribe their rules out of game, but.. acc sharing is not fair to the rest of our members, when joining in skillweeks, so that one stands firm." I'm not very "pro" jagex either but their rules are actually very good rules even if i disagree with the way jagex runs RS I can take out the account sharing under the overall rules and we can have that as a rule in skill weeks remember I only made these rules as proposed here until we came to a complete agreement before posting them in public. check out the changes and lets go from there "power tools in cummulating severity: 1- blocking from Forums for a period 2- blocking from event's for a period 3- blocking from clanchat for a period 4- banned from group for a period 5- banned from group permanent" I would do it this way: Unless its severe rule breaking I think we need to separate the CC and the Forums when dealing with punishment: Forum 1 warning 2 blocked from forums and/or events depending on the "crime" for a period 3 banned permanent CC 1 Warning 2 kicked out of CC 3 Block for for a period 4 permanent block

We have a total of 7 members that are not yet 18 of these 7 I expect 4 to leave in May
I do not think we need a board for 18+ skilling is as dull as it gets and most teens like glorious fights and the glamour that comes with huge swords
I don't think we'll be in trouble with minors, even Manny's jokes are innocent enough to be red by every age, some just wont go through all the emotions while reading
I'm willing to have a chat with every minor we have in group so they know they can raise their voice when all stinky minded elders are spinning lines dripping with lust. And I'd like to advise all in E2A to be moderate in language, but I still feel against making a rule about undecent chat
We do need a rule about creating drama. it is rare that anything anoying happens in chat, but I have had a juvenile that introdused all he met into cc (told Axi, but not Manny)and was trying to mess things up, I didn't like that, and also had one in cc declaring she was going to kill herself No matter how sad that is, I do not tolerate drama like that in cc
We come into RS to have fun, so only goal of rules is to ensure that's the matter. Since there really are people that have killed themselves after anouncing their actions on the net, I don't take talk like that lightly
When emotions run high, one should seek a trustee and pm.. not dump his/her black-tunnel-view in cc.
I often ask very personal questions.. where people live, what age .. etc etc etc etc etc .. by doing so I break Jagex rules, I even talk like that with mods. See, since I'm a permanent rulebreaker (don't understand my acc is still green) I have a hard time setting rules
Except rule 1 .. I think all rules are good... maybe we should set them as guidelines as Axi said we could take in consideration

While i agree with the advise on the moderate in language. I can't however agree on indecent chat personally I don't want to see it at all but I'm willing to compromise...hence the 18+ board. Manny's jokes in IMO are not "innocent" becuase their punch line is adult in nature. if I wasn't in the management team I would asking to have it toned down. As a management team member I have to think about whats best for the entire board not just my own... I also would be moderating the board like i should be. hence why I'd prefer to see a 18+ board so that those who wish not to see sexual and harsh language do not have to see it. ...This is a difficult subject to come to an agreement:-/
i disagree but only slightly I don't like drama either but I Do not want to be in the cc and kick someone out because they are suicidal I don't want to be the last piece of the the puzzle that gives that person the final excuse to actually commit suicide. I speak somewhat from experience on this matter as I've been that bad before... and known some who have nearly done it as well. but I also don't want people trolling either... which is basically what the juvenile did... I'm not sure how to work no drama into a rule..
agreed

more and more I dislike rules...
I don't understand what we're protecting kids from I don't like the split board as if there is anything special about being 18+
mostly.. I don't understand and that is a trouble for me, for that will make me insecure I don't see any harm in Manny's jokes.. had others from the USA read them, so they could explane to me what was wrong. Thought it might be cultural background, but they didn't see harm in them either. They are mama's with children, so they would point out to me if their kids needed protection.
I do not want a secluded, behind a pass, board for grownups I do think people should be given a choice if they want to have a laugh like that or not so, make it a board, but without the pass if kids don't want to know.. they don't need to go there we'll name it 18+ for adult humour and politically incorect jokes and such
I'm even unsure we should want an age restriction: we should be open to all those that don't feel at home among us will leave.. no worries there

I'm beginning to understand more about where you come from thanks to you sharing the origins of E2A in the other thread... so your saying is to keep the 18+ board but have no password protection is that what I'm understanding?
