To all new member this may concern, screw you.

I've noticed now and in the post that members are bitching and expecting a "BOTD" in their first posts, and yell at other members for being mean to them. The case is usually the defendant is an asshole, idiot, rule breaker, attention whore, or any combination, while the offender is usually smart, know what he's talking about, an anti "noob"ist, or etc. Definitely in the case Shade the Hedgehog vs. Kiao.

This is the internet my dear chumps, you're lucky we even give you a slight chance. If it's something like, "whoops, didn't read the rlz lolz," that doesn't cut it, idiot. Rules are the MOST important thing to read when you register and it's your first time to the forum; it isn't there to look pretty and to give Newbies a fighting chance when posting for the first time because they didn't read it.

Also, write like a person with at least two brain cells connected, other people have to be able to read your posts and have their eyes not bleeding. if u can r33d this u r in srs trbl mite lolz.

Also, DON'T BUMP THREADS. EVAR.
This has to go with the rules, no posting in a topic over three weeks old, only exception is revising an RP character of yours, reviving an old RP, or posting new work of yours in an art thread.

One of the most important things is how you kiddies complain about vulgar language from others or if they seem like they're being mean to you. First off, this is the internet; no rules stating the members can't express their feelings of others, if there was such a rule, the admins would be miniature Hitlers. Second, I get this all the time, "Why are you being so mean? This is supposed to be a kid's forum!" Be lucky you're even here, it is said in InvisionFree Guidelines you have to be 13 years of age to register at the forum, and Chao Paradise is a part of InvisionFree. InvisionFree is mostly a forum service for teens, not for 6 year old snot nosed brats who can' even spell the word internet. If CP wasn't part of InvisionFree, it would be the same, regardless. There are elder, intelligent members here who attend the forums (not saying everyone under 13 is stupid. Peaches and SS are key examples, since they have more than a few brain cells attached and have common sense) such as Kiao, Starless, and I, which means it isn't all butterflies and rainbows in this forum. The only reason you can get out with us being mean to you is if we're being indiscriminate using racist terms and such. If you can't handle the stress of being scolded or insulted by others on this forum, I promptly suggest you .

I'll rant more when I think of it.

...Er, did you call me stupid? Or 13-younger? o.o

I have to aggree with what lance is saying.

1. If you can't take the flame, then don't come at all, cause your going to get flamed until your eyes bleed.:p

2. He's right no second chances. if you break the rules, it's your own damn fault. no excuses.

3.Speak in ENGLISH. And if you don't learn how, or at least take typing lessons.

4. This is especially annoying. look at the date. if it's over three weeks old, DON'T POST IN IT.

5. It's life. your going to be insulted many times in your life. DEAL WITH IT.

(( The only reason I'm aggreeing with lance is because he has a kermit the frog avatar. *bows* I will do your bidding...))

Yush.
I agree.
I mean, I'm STILL only 12 ¬_¬ (And it's really annoying being called underage).
Ah well, I thought you have to be 13+ to OWN a forum, and can be any age to join one. Anyway, good speech Leo!

Well, 12- are allowed to register, but you have to have a COPPA installed if we wish for InvisionFree to never shut down our site (I think we have COPPA installed, but I'm not sure).

We do.
And I joined before we had the COPPA installed anyway so...

I am twelve too.

Glad I'm not the only one then

c:mellow: same here

New Rule proposed by Leo Leonardo:

Don't overuse the emoticons, it's awfully annoying and is practically thread trolling. You can only do this in spam room. Even then, it tends to get on people's nerves.

i dont get how it bothers people and we both only used one sprite

c:mellow: c: ? c: ! c:wub c:^-^ c:happy c: zzz c:mad c:>.< c:o_o c: o_o; d:grin d: u_u That can tend to be very annoying, and again, we're trying to have a intelligent-minded forum community here. c:mellow: c: ? c:mellow: c:mellow: c: ! c:^-^ c:mad

Double post, mainly because I have another idea that isn't the rule thing.




Admins, lend me your ears. We need more mods and less admins! We should only have about three admins, the amount we have our far more than enough, and some of the admins don't even really contribute like admins. Seeing how the fourm is doing, deleting member posts, warning members, and other instances like that are hardly admin tasks. That's what Global Moderators and their younger Forum Moderators are for.
7/6 Administrators + 1/2 non-global Moderators = NO.


One more thing, you admins need to be more strict, not trying to backseat mod or anything, just saying how it is. Less than .0001% of the times people break rules, you don't warn them. It should be more Explosm Forum when you do a minor breaking of rules, it calls for a six hour ban, and expands on severity of the rule being broken, and the ban will be expanded longer if you continuously break the rules, or even things that aren't in the rules such as thread shitting.


'Nother Rule Proposed by Leo Leonardo:

No linking to adult/porn/hentai sites or images. If you're going to do this, post the link as NSFW so we know little kiddies know to avoid it. Otherwise, you will be banned.


Forum proposed by Leo Leonardo:

Trash Bin. Basically a sub forum of the spam room, but you can't post in it. This where deleted topics will go, since some people actually like reading interesting fight topics.

Yeh theres only one mod,
and no banner.
I would make one but i use paint if no one would care.

This is just a question about member groups:

Can Chao Doctors be more based on Global Moderators and the group Chao Moderators be forum moderators?

I suggest that Espio Chao and SilentStrike be demoted to global moderators.

Rant closed since I had everything answered, and that I don't need to rant anymore since I have mod powers.
