It's very important that everyone reads the Rules topic, seeing as many have been breaking numerous recently.

Advertising the Rules has become a necessity now, seeing as less than a fifth of the members on this forum haven't even glimpsed at them. We strongly encourage everyone to give them a read, so they know what to do and what not to, allowing them to avoid any future troubles.

Not to mention the fact that a new rule has been written earlier today regarding signatures. It's number eight in the list, so please, don't think twice about giving that a check.

Here's the link to the Rules thread: http://www.runouw.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11&p=12#p12

Regards,
Niklaw

Little note, #7 got a small update.

Okay, guys, I'm asking you to read the rules again.

I recently noticed some members are massively postcount++ing. I'm talking specifically to two people.

a high postcount does NOT make you awesome. Maybe you could just disregard the postcount. Yeah sure, you all want to be Super Veterans, but real Veterans aren't posting 121 posts a day - real Veterans are people which are here for a long time.
if you don't know something, google it before asking.
no double-posting. Use the shiny EDIT button.
do not go "OMG I HAVE TO POST IN EVERY EXISTING THREAD OMGOMGOMGOMG"
if you don't know anything about the topic of the thread, leave it alone.
do not post posts like ":D", "lol", "yes", "I agree" or "you suck". A good post should have 10 or more words.
Also, don't post "YOU BUMPED THE TOPIC" or "THE TOPIC MUST BE NAMED USER7227'S LEVELS" or "SHOULD BE IN GAMING". Report the post instead.
Also, keep back-to-back posting to a minimum.

And also, signatures are getting MASSIVE again. The max height is 250 px. If you don't know how much 250 px are,

you can see it on the right. Here are some tips to get a small signature:

Put quotes not in quote tags - do it like me, put the names in <these brackets> and you save a lot of space.
Use spoilers wisely.
You can put text on two sides at the same time, just put the [ right ] tag inline.
If you write "Sorry for the big sig" at the end of your sig, that's a obvious sign of having a WAY TOO BIG SIGNATURE.
If you put too big images into your sig, you don't have space left for other stuff.
Obviously, sigs with a little more than 250px are tolerated. But if they get just too massive, no.

Okay, thank you for reading this post. Please shorten your signature, use the brake on the postcountcar and enjoy your stay at Runouw.com.

Just bumping because some people are postcount++ing again. Read the above post.

Well, I've seen a lot of people breaking the Level Rules, so I figure for the forum visitors who just visit and go, a more global place for Suyo's level rules may be in order. If not, Suyo, correct me.

SUYO'S LEVEL POSTING RULES=EPIC

When you post your levels, be sure to follow these guidelines:

-> If the level is the first level in a level series, post it in the Level Series Forum. Post the next levels in this topic.

-> If it isn't, go to the Levels Forum and open a topic "USERNAME's Levels". Replace USERNAME with your name. Post all your levels there.

-> Put the title of the Level Series in the Topic Title, if it's a Level Series Topic.

-> If you open a Level Series topic, make sure you have 3 levels at the beginning. Not less. If you have fewer than three levels, but want to post them anyways, post them in your Levels topic until you have three.

-> If Rocket or Turbo FLUDD are used, mention it.

-> If you do remixes of levels, post the original level too (with author name)! Of course, Remakes of SMB don't need credit since everyone knows.

Optional things, but you should still do it:
-> Use code tags:

Code: Select all: [code]LEVEL CODE COMES HERE[/code]

I know some people who refuse to play levels which don't use code tags properly because they want the people learn it. So use it to get more plays.

-> Describe your level - Story (if there is one), Goal...

-> Supply one or two screenshots.

And now for the most important rule...
-> Put actually some effort in the level!

What's wrong with the no effort pic?
1) Length of the level
2) Cutoff lava
3) too easy
4) forced damage
-> no effort

What's wrong with the no effort pic?
1) Cutoff ground
2) Lazyness
3) Oddly placed red coin (see next pic)
-> no effort

What's wrong with the no effort pic?
1) Really crappily placed falling logs (Tip: Hold Crtl to enable accurate Item Placing)
2) Falling log overuse
-> no effort

I hope you know now what's meant.
If you submit too many crappy levels, it counts as spamming and you get banned.

If you have questions, don't ask to ask, just ask!

From Runouw:

I would like to point out that for almost eveyone, the chatbox is a first impression of the forums. We can't let [swearing and swearing bypass] happen as it looks really bad to new members.

A lot of you guys--mods included--still fail to follow the above rule. So I have no choice but to reinforce it:

From Runouw:

I would like to point out that for almost eveyone, the chatbox is a first impression of the forums. We can't let [swearing and swearing bypass] happen as it looks really bad to new members.

It's very simple. DO NOT SWEAR IN CHAT. As Runouw said, it's a first impression. If you want to censor the words or change them around to say something, that's fine. Even then, do not do it too often, because we can still figure out what you're saying.

This being an official rule, you are required to follow it, and penalties will come if I see you breaking this rule.

The first time I see you break this rule, I will simply tell you in chat not to swear.
If I see you doing it still, you will get a warning.
If you do it a few more times, second warning.

Anything beyond that is a ban. I'm sure nobody wants a ban for not following one of the simplest rules on the site.

Seeing as the LDP is still being spammed, I decided to post these rules here.

LDP RULES AND LEVEL REQUIREMENTS: show

If your level doesn't fit the requirements, yet you want to submit it it, PM me or the other level mods the level code IN CODE TAGS, and we'll decide if it is okay to be submitted.

Posted: **March 4th, 2011, 6:48 pm**

Because some people never saw the topic, I'll post the new 'rules' here.

Censored:

Uncensored: 8 facts about the chat you may know or not know topic, wrote:1. Most people don't care if the chat is dead so stop posting "REVIVE CHAT" or "LONG SILENCE"
2. Many people don't care if you are bored so stop posting "I'M BORED"
3. The 5 messages "B", "O", "R", "E" and "D" also fit in the same message, splitting is not necessary
4. Big pictures are way more awesome if you post them only once and as a url or in a spoiler
5. If someone does not react to you shouting his names 5 time per second try a PM
6. No "OMG CLICK MEH" links, like from Pokefarm or those giveadamn things.
7. Channels are there for a reason.
8. Nobody cares about inappropriate stuff like Sp**m and mast*****ing. There are younger children on here, too, and you don't want them going to their parents and asking what mast*****ing is. I hope.
