What will get your thread deleted or locked

[billvon 3,121]

In case anyone's wondering, here are the things that may get your post deleted or locked:

Personal attacks. This means that even if someone is a bastard, and you can prove it, you can't say he is. This means that you can't call someone a spic even if they're cool with it and it's an inside joke. However, you can attack their ideas; saying someone's idea is foolish is very different than calling them a fool.

Any references to pedophilia. Even if it's a joke; even if it's a funny joke and you didn't mean anything bad by it.

Advertising.

The above may result in a post or thread getting deleted or locked. The poster may get a warning first; he may not. There are six moderators for this board alone, and despite rumors to the contrary we don't all sit in the same lair, so you may see different moderators take different approaches to the issue. To prevent the issue from coming up at all, just keep the above three things in mind when posting.
