and i believe the statement was just that the rules were going to be ENFORCED. not necessarily that everyone was out of control.

I'm assuming that staff does not include me, for while I am a Shattered Earth Moderator, that is less of a rule-enforcing job and more of a "convenience in editting threads" job. If not, then if I may make a tiny request regarding one of the rules. Instead of a straight up "no advertisements" rule, I think it would be better to have "no signing up for the sake of advertisements" rule. It's pretty obvious when people just sign up to advertise, and those people don't care about the rules anyway. But I know that if I got something of mine put on iTunes and I told everyone here about it, it would be against the rules, which I think is kind of messed up. I'm obviously not here to advertise, but I dont' see anything wrong with members displaying their talents, regardless of whether it makes money or not.
that seems to be the general thought, dechipher, and you ARE staff. your input in the TOS thread in FS would be most appreciated. soon plz, as the new list is going up this afternoon/evening. danke :)
Oh OK I apologize in advance conditionally pending whether there is an "AtmaWeapon is banned" rule
Could'nt you get an admin to make an advertisemaent forum? Maybe where you haft to have 100 posts to post in?that seems to be the general thought, dechipher, and you ARE staff. your input in the TOS thread in FS would be most appreciated. soon plz, as the new list is going up this afternoon/evening. dankeI'm assuming that staff does not include me, for while I am a Shattered Earth Moderator, that is less of a rule-enforcing job and more of a "convenience in editting threads" job.

Why would you want an advertisement forum? That's what sigs are for and we already have enough ads on the site.

Sorry if that was condisered Rent A Moding. I just checked my PM's.
I really don't want them to change the Ad rule at all. Oh well.Why would you want an advertisement forum? That's what sigs are for and we already have enough ads on the site.
spyk... just let the staff handle things hon :) Please and thank you :)
If you love... love without reservation. If you fight... fight without fear.

If you have only one post, and that post is an advertisement, it's pretty clear you're spamming and should be permabanned, especially since a lot of these ads come from bots.
But advertisement by established members is a gray area, which has been evaluated on a case-by-case basis in the past.
I really think there's a difference between "advertising" and "showing your work".
Advertising is a commercial endeavor. When Decipher or I post music, it's just like showing our friends what we spend our time on. It's no different than if I drew a cool picture and posted it. It's just friends showing their friends the results of their hard work.
I'm sure staff would let us know if they thought we were crossing the line into commercialism.
