FLAMING – If you make a comment with the sole intent of hurting some ones feelings, starting a flame war, or just being mean, that is flaming. There is no exact definition of flaming. Context plays a big part in what is considered flaming and what isn’t. So, you may see instances where two different people said the same exact same thing, and one is considered to be flaming and the other isn’t. It basically falls upon the staff to decide what is considered a flame and what isn’t. Also, if you have a personal problem with a member, keep it in the PM’s or AIM. Don’t follow them around XPB starting arguments with them. That will get you banned as well.
SPAM – Posting things that have no purpose, no topic, or are just too dumb to be allowed on XPB can be considered spam. If you post random images, that is spam. If you make “IBC”, “tl;dr” or other posts of that nature, that is spam. Ipod links, outwar type games, and things of that nature are also considered spam. There is no clear definition of what is spam. So, it will once again fall upon the staff of XPB to decide what is considered spam and what isn’t. We want you guys to have fun. But, we also expect you to some intelligence when posting on XPB. A little common sense goes a long way. Threads like “have you ever beat off at school” will not be allowed, period. If your thread gets deleted DO NOT REMAKE IT. That will also get you banned. Posting "1st posts" type posts, spam. Posting "old" when someone posts a vid or pic is also spam. Believe it or not not everyone has seen ever piece of media on the internet. If you have seen it move on, don't post and start an argument. Excessive spacing is annoying. It will also be considered spam.
DISCRIMINATORY POSTS – There will be absolutely ZERO tolerance with posts of a racist/discriminatory nature. If you think there is even a small chance it may be seen as being so, it is best you not post it.
GRAPHIC/GORY THREADS - If you are going to post a vid or pic that some would consider graphic, please lable it as so in the title. Believe it or not, some people don't want to see that stuff and shouldn't have to.
PICTURES – If you post a picture that contains nudity, swear words, racist comments, or anything else that in any way breaks any of XPB or OT’s rules, you will be banned. Also, if you post a pic of yourself or a loved one, expect negative comments. I won’t allow flaming, but people are allowed to comment on pictures you post. If you can’t take it, don’t post it.
GDT’s & CHAT THREADS – XPB isn’t a chat room. If you have a topic you would like to discuss then make a thread about it. Don’t make general discussion threads, late night threads, or any other thread to be used as a chat room.
PORN THREADS – If you instigate or provoke anyone to make a porn thread, or to post more pics once a porn thread is made...you will be perm banned right along with them.
I suggest you just get your look at the thread, and move on without posting.
AIM CHAT THREADS - If you make a thread that says "Join this chat.. blah blah blah," I will delete it. From here on out they are against the rules and will be considered spam.
PICTURE/MACRO/VIDEO WEBSITES - We can all access big-boys, collegehumor,MYSPACE etc by ourselves and we have, since Al Gore invented the internet. You will NEVER find anything on there someone in here hasn't seen. Please refrain from posting the links.
THINK BEFORE YOU POST!!!
All we ask is for you all to try to get along, and help keep Off Topic somewhat clean. The rules aren’t very hard to follow.
If you have a thread that got deleted, obviously a staff member thought it wasn’t appropriate. Just drop it and move on. If you get banned you can look in the “bannage log” to see why, and how long.
