My opinion. [ Mace Please Read ]

Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to state my opinion on some of the rules here. Please Mace Before Banning Me, Deleting this topic or whatever you may do from reading just a bit of this read it all. Because i think it needs to be addressed so please read it all before deleting it or locking it, Or whatever! Thank you.


Okay, So i find some of the rules extremely idiotic/Silly/ You can't make a user not be able to do that because well, It's just not fair or you really shouldn't care about it. So i decided i am going to address these things and tell you [ Basically just talking to Mace here everyone ] Some things about why these rules are idiotic.

Personal Information
Please do not post your full name, address, phone number, etc on the Fantage Forum. We try to keep the forums safe for all users.

You know this is nice, That you want to keep everyone safe but, You really shouldn't care about this. If someone wants to tell everyone on the forum there address then they have the right to do that, And should be allowed to. Sure by doing this they could get stalked or something but still. If they want to show a picture of themselves or something they should be allowed to, Sure the picture may get downloaded onto some perv's computer but that's there problem, Not yours. Full names? That's ridiculous! My full name is Arianna Lain Smith and i don't give a crap who knows it, There is nothing really unsafe about that, Honestly. I mean i like this as far as Advice for the users but at the same time it shouldn't really be a rule. Most people know better than to give out information like that but if they in fact want to give out information like that they should be allowed.

Spam
We do not allow spam here. SPAM stands for Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages. Spamming is anything thats pointless or off-topic, such as one or two word posts. We also do not allow bumping, which is posting in a topic thats really old. Spamming will get you banned.

] Hey Fantagians.

I am sorry, but I am done with Posting Games.

They are pretty much spam, and most people use them to gain posts! There is about 4,500 more posts in Posting Games then any other section! The Fantage section should be the most popular, as this forum is based on Fantage.

I am sorry, but I will be taking out Posting Games. This is why I didn't have them on Fantage Fansite.

On a good note, instead of Posting Games I will be giving you guys more things to do around the forum such as membership contests, scavenger hunts, and alot more fashion shows and parties will be coming.

I had a long thought on this decision, it was a tough one.

There will also be a Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday or Sunday.

Thanks for understanding,
-Mace.

I agree Spam is bad and shouldn't be allowed. But i find it idiotic that you locked the posting games for it was 'Spam' It is not spam. It isn't! Okay obviously you don't know the first thing about spam if you think posting games are spam. on other forums they don't even count THIS as spam.

Topic Called: I found it
Post says: It was in the bathroom.
Topic Called: Weee!
Post Says: Im super duper booorreeed!


I have seen a few forums with posts like that and it is not considered spam. So the posting games should be unlocked for they are NOT spam. You said Spam is stupid pointless annoying messages. Well posting games aren't stupid nor annoying. Sure they may seem pointless but they aren't the other things so it's not spam. Thus they should be unlocked. Sure people gain them to gain posts but does that actually matter the purpose? Some people use them [ Like myself ] BECAUSE THEY ENJOY THEM! On a good note you will be giving us more stuff to do around the forum? NOTHING makes up for posting games mace NOTHING.

Advertising
You only can advertise in your signature. This means no Private Messaging links, or posting links, or chatting links in the chatbox. This is a serious rule, and will be taken seriously.

The only reason you in-force this rule is because your afraid that you are going to lose members to other forums if you allow them to advertise. I agree they shouldn't be allowed to advertise like crazy, But they should be able to advertise. What if a friend wanted another friend to know about an anime forum, Or a video game forum or something that person liked so they linked it to them through the chat and got banned? That is retarded. Private messaging it? You honestly go this far to keep people from joining other websites? Dude! If people truly like this website they won't leave em just cause they found another website they like. You honestly need to cut this rule.

For Now On, Swear Word Abbreviations Such As 'WTF' And 'LMAO' Will Not Be Aloud. It Still Counts As Swearing So Make Sure Not To Break This Rule.

Also, Thank Mace For Adding Me To The Fantage Forum Moderator Team! I Will Do My Best As A Moderator!

They should be allowed. A LOT of people that don't cuss use the abbreviations. At least there not actually saying 'FU**' I do cuss sometimes and im not afraid to admit that, But no i don't cuss on this forum since it's not aloud. But LMAO and WTF should be allowed. Or LMFAO, ext ext. You know why? Because a lot of people use those that wouldn't dare actually let a cuss word escape from there mouth. Okay? So seriously this is just gay. Like 'Wtf' To this rule.

"Gay" isn't allowed on this forum. Its the stupidest thing ever.

Mace you are, Oh yes Gay for making Gay not allowed. First off did you realize gay means Happy not homosexual? And Even if people are using it for the term of being a Homo what's the big deal of saying 'That's Gay' Or 'You are so gay' That's right NOTHING is wrong with that. A lot of people use the term and it is fine really. Most people don't mean it literally, If someone says 'Your Gay' They usually don't mean it as in 'You are a homosexual' But they mean it as in 'You are stupid' Or 'That's Gay' would be 'That's stupid' Ext Ext. People just like to use that term. It is a growing popular term that should be allowed to be used.


That is all i have to say, I hope you read this Mace and truly do let it sink into your mind and take action in this. Because really this needs to be taken care of. Fine you can ban me, Delete this subject WHATEVER but i hope you know that i am not afraid of getting banned, So don't think you can use banning me against me. Anyways i just hope you take some action of this stuff.
