I think it's time for a remider on some of the site rules here at UGN along with a new one. Please read them and follow them. You have been warned.

Special Note: This post is constantly edited by Gizmo and the other Admin's; not all, if any, of the contents of this post are the content of the original poster.

0. Golden Rule: Common Sense. Have common sense, if you feel it's illegal or completely stupid; chances are that it is. Any illegal/stupid posts will be immediately moved to the "BoneYard".

1. Off Topic. The off topic forum is for, you got it, off topic material. Note however that it's for conversations, not for you and the love of your life. If you have something to spark a conversation, go for it, otherwise, post it and be flamed. Note however that anything we find questionable will be removed.

2. Users are why we're all here; they make UGN Security worth being at. With the BBS being fairly real time we have to have rules.

3. We work on a 3 strikes and you're gone outlook. If you are banned you will only be allowed back in certain circumstances. We reserve the right to ban anyone, at any time, for any reason.

4. Only post only once per subject, no one likes 200 threads of the same post (or mass posters), if you mass post you will be warned.

5. Do not harass others. We are against "flame wars" if you have beef with someone take it up with them in Private Messages. You will be warned for flames.

6. Do not harass the moderators, you will be warned.

7. Do not abuse the BBS code, any exploiting of the BBS code will result in your address mask banned. This will mean that anyone using your IP mask will not be allowed here.

8. Refrain from registering more than 1 nickname. If you register more than 1 nickname you will be warned.

9. UGN is an ENGLISH ONLY server. If English is not your primary language we suggest that you start learning. Making posts in anything other than English will result in a warning.

10. Links: If you advertise your site, network, irc, service, etc your link will be removed, you will be warned and possibly thrown off the site.... We are not here for you to list your idiotic services for free, if you feel the need for advertising, purchase it. You can link to resources IF ASKED in a post.

11. ALL CAPS POSTS: First, take your caps logk off, no one appreciates eyestrain from trying to read a post. Secondly, leave, no one likes you.

12. MiXeD CaSe PoStS: See above.

13. Teach me to hack. We won't teach you to hack, EVER; hacking is illegal. All we're going to do is tell you to read Our File Archive and to check google . We won't tell you how to hack; if you ask you'll be flamed and banned, simple as that. We don't want to hear "I'm trying to hack my wife's/brother's/girlfriend's/whoever's hotmail account and you need help; we don't [censored] care!

14. Warez. Warez is illegal, in every way. There are millions of file sharing webpages and networks; we're not one, nor will we ever be one. Anyone caught sharing warez will be banned immediately.

15. Introductions. Yeh, it's nice to meet you too, however we could care less about you introducing yourself. We have thousands of members and all these posts do is clutter up the board.

16. Old Posts. If the thread has been dead (no posts) for more than a month, and you have nothing *ground breaking* to add to the conversation; please leave it alone! It died for a reason, leave it there.

17. Constructive Posts. If all you have to add to a post is punctuation or a smilie face, please don't post. We do appreciate having you here at UGN Security but a smilie face is not constructive in any way.

If your post has been moved, ONLY PM the user who moved it. Do NOT make a new post whining about it being removed as you'll only get banned.

PS, all else fails, here's a door knob, go amuse yourself...

question, dose that mean we can only ever make 1 post per topic even if we have something worth contributing?(cringes at the thought of what some consider worthy)

I think it means only one topic. Making it so people don't post the same damn topic in every forum....

do you warn us over the forum, or by private messge?

The board's warning system does both, 3 warnings and your account is banned. Since I doubt you will recieve 3 warnings I'll show you what it's like...

Correct.

PM

What the hell is that love connection rule?

See the "statement to the love of my life" thread in the boneyard here by DrumMonkey2003

I can't believe that people actually post this [censored]...

Haha omg no wonder he's mad I posted that. These people are a bunch of nerds with no life that don't even know what love is!

lol tell that to gizmo's wife. Tell that to my girlfriend too. The reason it was deleted is because this is a tech/computer/security/news site. Your love life has no place here.

Haha well if what I posted doesn't belong here you better take a look at the Off Topic area, have that [censored] has nothing to do with what you "claim" to be the reason for this BBS. Talking about how hott girls are OH YES IMPORTANT NEWS THAT WE COULD DIE WITHOUT. [censored] losers.

Actually, you see... Here on MY forum things go a little differantly...

Users who register an account and immediately do soemthing against the rules are ridiculed and banned, which you are now.

As for your post, it was against the rules in the first place, i'm more leniant if a topic can be a conversational item vs you expressing yoruself to some chick who probably will never see you, most likely she lives out of the state/country and you two claim to someday get together, no matter what... you use love alot, you like to call her nicknames... I'll stop here since you're undoubtedly crying like a little [censored].

Listen, she'll never like you, we'll never care. The posts that are in off topic have been given the "ok" by the admin's, MY admins....

this site is FOR the people, not for you and your love stories, we're not into web romances, this is not a movie, it does not have tom hanks in it, although you do hear "you've got mail".

Now, get a clue, get a real isp, and grow a brain.

first off you little [censored] head i do know something about love. i am married to the owner of this site. our 1 year is in april. person.

second i'm not a nerd. i just helf moderate this site, i'm not a computer person.

third, we can talk about famous people being hot but confessing ur love is a defferent story. you dont see me telling gizmo on here how much i love him do you? no you wont. wanna know why? it because it doesnt belong here. oh how romantic u confessed your love through a computer/ technonogy site. *finger inserted into mouth and yaks* that is the most unloving thing in the world. i would be kind of offened if my husband did that. go hire a sky writer and tell ur girl that way. ur the one who needs to get a life and i think the girl you have fallen for would agree. i'm happy that u found someone but please take it else where. as i said before that does not belong here.

oh and for note, we can add or change rules at any time and has u can see we added a rule so quit ur bitching. if ur offened by this (GOOD be offened, i dont really give a crap weather u are or are not) then you dont belong here and neither does ur heart.

ahaha DrumMonkey2003, your retarted

Heres a door nob, go amuse yourself

Icemyst you need a new rule:

11. Don't give Deffy your website sign-in name and password, lol

/me pictures DrumMonkey2003 highly amused with a door nob.

ROFLMAO

keep the stupid people away please:
Read this over:

This is this cat
This is is cat
This is how cat
This is to cat
This is keep cat
This is a cat
This is dumbass cat
This is busy cat
This is for cat
This is forty cat
This is seconds cat.

Now go back and read the THIRD word in each line from the top. Betcha you can't resist passing it on.

Only took me 12 :x

For real...who takes 40 seconds to do that? I did that in like 10.

still the fact that you guys read it proving all men are dumbasses...

You posted it...but you didn't read it. Riiiiight.

i never said i wasnt a dumbass and i never said i didnt read it. i just didt say that i did... :p

unreal and I read it, proving that all men are dumbasses. I don't think I need to point out how stupid that remark is.

perg take into account i married Gizmo. do you know any other women in her right mind that would marry him?

Good point...

i always make good points

oh and speaking of site rules this isnt a rule more like a guide line for the newbs and any other stupid peoples:

Since when does Security News Site equal hacking site? I know some of you newbs wanna know how to hack things for personal reasons but dont come asking here. search google first, then go to the library, next search the arcives, and if all else fails and this is the FINAL resort NOT the first make a post but be inteligent about it. If you make a stupid post you WILL be flamed... Thank you and please behave!

Most likely by Infinite or unreal. They're the two biggest flamers on UGN

...I mean...

Added.

haha very nice = )

Added.

who am i?

Pardon?

Who are you? I don't know who you are but I know who I am..... I'm Rick James [censored]!

You're Batman

mmm mmm [censored]!

Good to know that I'm not the only one to watch that episode..

Added

That's where it went, sorry.

it's fine, everyone learns, or gives insperation to the rules list :x...

Added some punctuation to stress that linking is allowed for resources; but not advertising.

Also added #17 for those who feel the need to respond to a post with:
or
Sorry ChazMan, but you did it TWICE on the SAME thread ...

wow I need to brush up on site rules. man I think those are only good to end a post when they need ending. to show staff that a close on that thread is definite since there is no more need to restart it.

unless it is done in the next 2 weeks to a month(yea 2 weeks is enough end time imo) then it should be closed. Because I know how annoying it is for a staff/admin member to be all awww weak, why'd you reply to a uber old post? *mental notes a read of ugn's ever changing rules is needed.

Giz, Sammy, is there a ever-changing list? Like a list on some htm or php page? I remember reading the tos/policy when I joined. But heh, I'm also not a dumb [censored] about [censored] on a constant, or enough to even get a hey weeve go read the policy/tos again dork, it's been changed. Like pretty much don't be a idiot. don't be TOO rude, and don't be mean to people. Just be you, honest, and help. so that's what I do:) Anyway, I like how ugn is ran.

You both know that, I just hardly say things about stuff like that. so I'll stop here;)

This is the ever changing list ... The one at http://faq.undergroundnews.com if outdated heh.

Hmm... Maybe someone should update it when he is done with the ads system.

if you ever finish we'll talk

teach me how to do autotheme's with postnuke to make my site look kick [censored], and it'll be done before the end of next week.

Look at this PN theme: http://www.okratas.com/

eh, its ok, but i was looking for along the lines of the colors at www.clash.cc or UGN. Red and blue are two of my favorite colors, and IMO, they both look way good on a web site.

Indeed... You install PostNuke/AutoTheme yet? If not get to work and learning boy!

My hosting up, or are you talking locally? heh.

locally

Yep, got PHP and MySQL installed, along with e107. Now all i need to do is get isdn back up so i can download PostNuke again.

See, AutoTheme runs on like 5 differant nuke's now; no matter what your themes would be portable between them (so long as their coded properly)

i wonder if e107 supports that. Probably not though.

It's a module; AutoTheme that is. It's only on like 5 cms' but those 5 are at least popular, although only one is the best

Question. Im new and i dont know where things are, so where can i look at ll the rules?

Page 1 of this thread holds the majority. Also the FAQ is another good place to go.

thanks

yea, about the rule off not advertising your site,
if you are making a site and you are new at the whole site making thing and you want some Expert opinions would it then be ok to post your personal site? And My friend who does the affiliate programs is wondering if UGN would like to be advertised on the site

No, we don't care about your site, advertise it and you're banned.

ouch!

drk, i removed your earlier post.

This is not Google, it is not Yahoo, it is not a [censored] AIM chat line; we do not want your stupid advertisements.
