Well don't discourage members from suggesting! You folks have a 'Suggestions' section. And as long as you have it, they'll keep coming in me thinks lol.

We don't have the benefit of posture, body language, and tone here. So I'm going to ask that you take a step back and decide to no longer engage this part of the discussion. If I'm taking it out of context, please PM me.

No - that's np. I'm done with that portion of the thread.

Sorry sorry sorry - one quick thing though.

Can you guys link me to this info? I was actually looking for infraction guidelines a while ago and couldn't find anything.

noodle · 08-07-2009, 12:44 PM

Hi... might I interject on the report post button?

In fromBasics dark, it's a little pale white thing that I couldn't see without my glasses that there was an exclamation point on it when I was trying to report the Nokia phone spammer earlier in the week. Now that I know where/what it is, I'm much more likely to use it.
And GG, if I accidentally reported you, I'm reeeeeeeally sorry. I hit the back button.

If a thread is started, could you include what it looks like in the different styles? TFP green makes my astigmatism go haywire.

Okay, I'm done.

we don't. why should there be? so that people can cherry pick to maximize how they will troll or aggravate someone before being banned?

this contains everything that a new member should know about how we expect our members to behave and be treated.

TFP Forum Guidelines

Welcome to the Tilted Forum Project. Our official founding date is January 20th, 2002. Since that day, the TFP has had one goal: to make the internet a wonderful place for thoughtful people. We know that you can go anywhere for funny pictures, advice, and discussion, but only the TFP provides a place for people to get genuine responses to real discussion on just about any subject. Its users regard it as the most mature forum on the internet and as a testament to this claim, it has been supported entirely through donations from its loyal members for the entirety of its existence.

In order to keep this place running smoothly, we've developed a few rules over the years. While never overbearing, these rules are in place to make your experience here a better, cleaner one. If you find anyone ever breaking the rules, please use the "Report Post" button that is located on each post or send a private message to a staff member.

It should be reminded that we encourage users to make full use of the forum and its topics. At the TFP, we do not judge a member's worth by their post count. Making quality posts and contributing to thoughtful discussion is the best way to make yourself known here. Please feel free to jump right in and add your two cents on any thread and we will accomodate you with an appropriate response.

Standard Guidelines
1. The Tilted Forum Project is intended to be a center of mature, intelligent and productive discussion. Any post that does not fit in with this ideal is subject to removal.
2. To make this quick, here is what is not allowed: trolling, flaming, harassing, spamming, site plugging, advertising, advocacy (charities, polls, causes), immaturity (except in nonsense), images of minors (under 18), shocking images (gore, scat), other people's personal information, sexual advances without consent, and being a cunt in general.
  1. You are allowed to set any link you want as your homepage in your profile.
  2. You may link to your site in your signature ONLY if your site contains a prominent link back to the TFP.
  3. If you want to post a picture of a minor, either the picture must be a link, or the minor's identity must be obscured.
3. You must be at least 18 years of age (in mind and body) to view and post on the TFP.
Thread Starting Guidelines
1. With the exception of a few specific forums, this site is centered around DISCUSSION and therefore all threads must have some conversational purpose.
2. If an external resource (news article, story, image, etc.) is being posted for discussion, the thread starter must quote the relevant part of the content along with their own thoughts and opinions on the topic. That is to say, you can't just post a link or a quote without adding your own words.
3. If possible, check to make sure that you're not starting a topic that is already being discussed. It is OK to rehash a topic that hasn't been covered in a while.
4. Please follow up with your threads and post in them frequently. A good thread starter will tend to their replies to keep the discussion moving.
User Permissions and Promotions
1. Upon registration, users have permission to access about 95% of the board's topics and features. This includes profiles, galleries, avatars, signatures, private messages and chat.
2. There are a few features and forums that are only accessible through promotion: Playground, Portraits, Exhibition, custom titles.
3. To be promoted, you must meet 3 requirements: You must be a member for more than a month, you must have a minimum post count of 50, and you must pass a moderator inspection of the quality of your posts.
4. Members also have the opportunity to become part of the moderator staff. To be elligible, you must maintain a clean record, a prominent place in the community through continued quality contribution, and you must submit an application when they are called for by the staff.
Donations
1. Currently, there are only two ways to donate to the TFP: PayPal and Snail Mail.
2. To donate through PayPal, please send the donation to: halxtfp@gmail.com
3. To donate through the mail, please send a private message to Halx to request the address.
Section-Specific Guidelines
1. Ladies Lounge
  1. No men are allowed to post in the Ladies Lounge. If you are a male and you happen to post there, you will receive a warning.
  2. If you are a male and you would like to add your opinion to a topic in the Ladies Lounge, send your post to a female moderator and they will post your message for you.
2. Tilted Entertainment
  1. Any spoiler material must be presented in spoiler BB tags.
3. Tilted Exhibition
  1. Requesting pictures from other members is not allowed.
4. Chat
  1. The same rules of the forum apply to chat.http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/get-til...23-2007-a.html

ShaniFaye · 08-07-2009, 03:04 PM

Can someone define "inappropriate" language? (in the context of getting an infraction)

wooÐs · 08-08-2009, 12:57 AM

I had no idea it was against any rule or anything. Nothing's posted about it in these guidelines. There's loads of cursing on the site. And I curse like a pissed Irishman yet have never been contacted by staff. Dunno what's up with that but it's maybe not enforced I guess?

SecretMethod70 · 08-08-2009, 02:00 AM

Pretty sure that was just created as an option for unforeseen circumstances. Using racial epithets like nigger, chink, etc (outside of this current descriptive context) would be inappropriate language. You can keep posting shits, fucks, and asses to your heart's content

Also, a note about the points we give for infractions: we don't advertise them 1) because, as Cynthetiq said, we don't want them to be abused, but also 2) because they are merely behind the scenes guidelines for the moderators. Context is important, and moderators are chosen for their judgment. If they feel a certain offense deserves more or fewer points, they are free to make that adjustment, so it would be inappropriate to advertise a set list of points given per type of infraction.

Halx · 08-08-2009, 06:12 AM

Basically, you're allowed to say any word you damn well please. It is the context you use it in that might cause some problems.

No shit. That's the way I've always fuckin' seen it. Not that I condone the use of profanity.

Meathed · 08-08-2009, 07:55 AM

maybe you should go out for a little while, get some ice cream or something.

Psycho Dad · 08-08-2009, 07:56 AM

How would that help? I don't even like ice cream.

wooÐs · 08-08-2009, 08:15 AM

I like this forum lol.

And some of the mods are great too. Thanks to those of you who hit me up to explain things a little better without having to talk down to me or what not.

LordEden · 08-08-2009, 09:39 AM

I was hopeing that you getting get warnings from cuss words... I don't think I've ever posted anything without the word Fuck. Gluv and I would be fucking screwed.

Not all features are shown in all styles.

wooÐs · 08-08-2009, 02:11 PM

There's an add-on you can install to include a second custom user title for staff members that will apply to all skins. Small images can be used instead of text too - like a button or whatever.

Just a suggestion. No big deal.

Halx · 08-08-2009, 02:16 PM

Bit more complicated than that. But as you may be observing, I am fixing it right now.

wooÐs · 08-08-2009, 02:32 PM

Right on!

Halx · 08-08-2009, 02:34 PM

The only style I really keep up to date is Insignia. Heh.

wooÐs · 08-08-2009, 02:39 PM

All the skins are nice. But dark is the easiest on mah eyes.

Thanks for the fix. It'll be a lot easier to learn who's who now.

SecretMethod70 · 08-08-2009, 02:40 PM

Halx doesn't use TFP Green?! Scandal!

wooÐs · 08-08-2009, 05:11 PM

I just realized that the join date's now gone (for BlackSmart at least.) Is there any way to bring it back?

I swear, this woods bitch will never be satisfied.

SecretMethod70 · 08-08-2009, 05:14 PM

Nope, join date is supposed to be gone. That's what you get for drawing Halx's attention

We don't like to display join date so that people don't make assumptions based on it.

Cynthetiq · 08-08-2009, 05:16 PM

fat change. nope. not going to happen.

it's not supposed to have been there, it should have been removed when we removed it from the other themes.

newbies should be treated with the same care and respect that old timers should be. In fact there was a time where, old timers would discard someone's post out of hand strictly because the person was new.

Wait...

...all I have to do is click on a member's profile to see their join date. Does this need to be corrected too? lol

Cynthetiq · 08-08-2009, 05:28 PM

yep that's fine there. it's a few extra steps to click on the members profile and then look at the statistics tab.

yep, fat change.

Well as long as I can still make assumptions on members in regards to their join date, I'm good.

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

Hey you joined on 4/20.

You must be a pothead.

Xerxys · 08-08-2009, 05:38 PM

Ohhh man, I thought the same thing too some time back when I was looking at Cyns profile ... I have no idea why though. First I assumed he was a chick, then a pothead ...

wooÐs · 08-08-2009, 05:41 PM

I did too! I thought he was a she.
The handle is a little feminine, not to mention the kitties.

...NOT that there's anything wrong with that.

Moving forward, I don't have the option to change my user title. What do I need to do?

Cynthetiq · 08-08-2009, 05:41 PM

synthetic isn't a masculine or feminine word.

you need to post more...

wooÐs · 08-08-2009, 05:42 PM

So it's just up to staff when I'm allowed to change it? Or is there a number I need to reach?

Cynthetiq · 08-08-2009, 05:44 PM

why worry about it? why set it as a target or goal?

just post good thoughtful contributions

it will happen when it does.
