Making Threads
There are a few things to remember when it comes to making threads. In the wrestling sections, please put some effort into your threads. CM Punk rocks, Thoughts? is not thread-worthy, at all. Also this applies to any section don't make Official threads without asking about it first. Ask anyone on staff. We'll figure it out and get back to you with our decision ASAP. Any news that you post MUST HAVE A SOURCE. Where did you get it from? Also, don't just post news and then write, Thoughts? Share your thoughts, too. For tapings of any wrestling show, there are spoiler sticky threads, USE THEM. If you plan on posting any kind of spoiler in the Word Games section or anywhere else, then user spoiler tags. It's easy.
Flaming/Cursing
If you want to joke around with each other, be our guest. TWC is a very laid back site, for the most part. Any legitimately heated flaming will not fly, though. We're not going to give infractions right off the bat, but if the flaming begins to take a thread off course or goes on too long, then we'll intervene. As far as watching your language, a little cursing never hurt anyone. Just be reasonable about it. There's no reason to curse up a storm. There definitely no reason be using any racial or sexual slurs, either. Cursing is allowed, but anything sexual or racial is not. Here at TWC, we know that jokes are jokes, but make sure you know who you're joking with. Not everyone is going to share your sense of humor.
Spamming
The basis of TWC is that we're creating both a laid back and fun site for people to spend their time at, AS WELL AS a forum that offers up some of the best discussions you'll find on the net. So, with that being said, be sure to keep the spamming in the Word Games forum, please. As far as I'm concerned, spam is any response that doesn't add anything constructive to the thread. So, basically, any off-topic comments, inside jokes, separate conversations, double posting, or the like would fall under that category. WCF isn't run by Nazis. We're not going to hit you with infractions immediately, but if it becomes a reoccurring issue then we'll deal with it accordingly.
Signatures & Avatars
The sig limits here at TWC are pretty much wide open, there's limits in place for certain groups, and you get more avy limits for VIP, but in general just be smart about Sig sizes, don't go overboard and it should be fine. If you don't know how to check the dimensions of your images, simply right click and check the properties. Whatever image hosting site you're using should tell you the dimensions and file sizes, so there's really no excuse for you to not be aware of these numbers.
Also, make sure that there's nothing too obscene in any of your images. Sigs, avys, and profile pictures should NEVER contain nudity, and keep any goriness to a reasonable limit, please. If you need to know what we're going to consider a reasonable limit, you can always consult with any of the admin. We're all pretty similar in how we see things.
Advertising
Here at TWC, we allow you to advertise in your signature, and ONLY in your signature. There's one condition for anyone who runs or is one of the administrators at the site they're advertising, though. If either of those apply to you, then in order for you to advertise here, you must agree to let us advertise at your forum. It's only fair, right? Also, if it's obvious that you've joined just to advertise and are not interested in contributing to the forum positively with your posts, you'll be warned, given an infraction, and possibly banned depending on how long you wanna push your luck. Just don't spam so that people see your forum in your sig. Make posts that are worth posting.
Hopefully people can hear us out on this and be reasonable with what were about to put into place. Personally the staff would rather see everyone be happy in one way or another.
