OK... since we've had probs in the past since we've operated with 'unwritten' rules we should discuss the new rules.... now is the time to speak your piece.
General Posting Rules
- Quote sources when posting news from external sites... let them have their props since they worked for it.
- Post should be made in the correct section. (Don't cross post in multiple sections)
- Spamming the board with advertising will get you a ban. (1 post in the relevant section is ok).
- Having multiple accounts and using them to manipulate discussion will get you banned. (permission can be obtained for extra accounts if good reason is provided)
- Rasicm and/or religious bigotry will not be tolerated in any shape or form.
Avatars
- No porn! (basically no nips and coochie shots)
- Keep them to a reasonable size.. and dont have millions of them!
Forum Politics
- Don't beg to be a mod, it will never ever happen if you do.
Mod's are chosen due to merit and conduct on and off the forum.
- 'Connected Sites' chosen on merit and contribution to the community. Don't turn up and expect a link without having being involved day to day on WCC without ever having posted.
- Mod's found manipulating discussions by editting/removing posts will be mods no more.
Illegal Music
Bootlegs
- Trading and Selling of bootlegs is prohibited.
MP3s
- No posting of direct links. Links to sites containing them is ok. (coz then the file doesnt come direct from a link on wcc, but from a link on an external site).
- Dont harrass people publicly or privately for mp3s... they dont have to do *anything* for you. if you cant make the effort to go get them from irc, then its on you.
Key Style
i'm not involved in this section... any ideas? biters beware? lol
-
suggestions demanded!! :)
-
what happens if u brake the rules? :D
how many chanhes u got?
Illegal Music
Bootlegs
- Trading and Selling of bootlegs is prohibited.
MP3s
i brake the rules if i post a direct link to a copywrited MP3? :-/

btw.... here is a suggested rule.. the topic should about ur post...
dont have a topic like "i got the next episode OG in CDQ!!!!" and then write... "just kiddin... but vote for me in the keystyle forum! ;) " in the thread lol..... thats enoying....
-
Ban N.I.K?????
Is that too much to ask?
-
thats not a rule... lol
but he is very guilty of the misleading posts exzit described
-
i think that there should be porn in people avatars, theres nothing wrong wit dat, if your moms gets mad about what your lookin at tell her 2 fucc off
-
porn is a must.

some people actually respect their parents
-
what about if people are in a public place?
what if they got young kids running around them?
there is a place for porn.. its not like its barred.. u can have a scantiliy clad girl in your avatar, just not one with nips and pussy showing. and u can put whatever u like up in anything goes

good point but hey they need 2 mind there own bizness, most of the members on this board are all males anyway and everyone enjoys em, but i think that we should have a vote on this, if its cool wit u and i know that tthis is your board and u can do whatever u want but i think that we should vote on it doe
-
You ever considered not accepting any new members at 3,000?

I don't see a good reason for that

We've actually been through the whole discussion before in Anything Goes. This is how it was resolved. I didn't actually just invent those reason's, they're what people put forwards in that discussion.
-
I don't see a good reason for that
Look at the DPG board...
More members dosen't equal better discussion
-
no decent moderation+users that care does.... over moderation/admin will also fuck a board up. gotta find a happy medium.
it happens there because they can get away with bullshit + kronik making a stick post on the forum telling people 'he couldnt ban them' didnt help. he can ban them... it just means he gotta put in work.
here you guys would tell them to fuck off with some of the shit they get away with. (love u guys :-* lol)
if all new members that come in without hassle end up acting like most of you it wont be a problem... even some that do can be reformed ;)
-

/me gets emotional! :'(
Its So True, We Do ;D We Love The WCC Members :D
-
are people fuckin stupid or cant they see 'outbound connections' i think a rule should be that every eminem/east post should go whee it belongs.
Also, i think all the 'can someone send me this' or 'anyone got this in mp3' posts should be DELETED.
-

Wrong. If somebody is connected to the wescoast you can can talk about him in the westcoast forum.
like every artist on aftermath, doggystyle, tha row.....
-
Overseer.......
You said no religious bigotry.... you think I'm a bigot... but others do not... so who is to say?
-

Nas has done a song with Dre is he connected with the westcoast? Eminem isnt westcoast. Not cause hes from detroit but cause he doesnt make westcoast music. People need to realize that. This board seems to get out of hand every time an eminem single comes along.
-
This would be a good rule:
* Lifetime ban for Myrealname.
It's a paradox that this fag got good posters like Antonio & Adriano-Dogg banned, and the worst of them all is still allowed to post.
-
Damn thats a lot of rules. I already forgot half of them, and in a week I probably won't remember any of them. I don't think I violate too many of those too often anyway. But just saying that is a lot of fucking rules to remember.
-

thought u were turning a new leaf ;)

I know a lot of people hate on Myrealname what exactly is it that he has done to get banned for ?
Look at the DPG board...
More members dosen't equal better discussion
Of course it doesn't. But I think it's unfair not to let decent people sign up here just because there are already 3,000 others. Still every member who violates the rules can get banned so I still don't see a point in not lettin everybody sign up. More members doesn't equal a fucked up board either
-
i've spoken to adriano, he isn't banned anymore. he just dont wanna post at the moment.
antonio.. well ::)
even big jake is back...
if people come at me reasonably without spitting flames they usually are most often allowed back.. for example myrealname... even though rud calls me a sawfty for it. lol
-
another rule
Arguments
Unlike some other forums We will actually let an (on topic) argument run its course just to get it over and done with.
Call it 'selective under-moderation' if you like. Grudges held and dredged up repeatedly or future 'hounding' by the winner/s or as is usual the loser/s will result in action depending of the severity.
Resorting to calling someone names and not stating an actual point of argument means you've already lost the battle.
-------------------
on another note......... i've be wondering about some kinds of punishments beyond warnings/demoddings/bannings/stripping of cusom titles etc
-
Have a "Dunce Cap" rule. If someones being an idiot, make them change their name to something embarassing.
-

True.
-
though rud calls me a sawfty for it. lol
Jome too ;D
What's Big Jake's new nick though?

What's Big Jake's new nick though?
That's what i was wondering...
Anyways, I think the MP3 rule isn't too good...Whats wrong with posting direct links to MP3s (or asking if somone has a song in MP3)? Some people don't have MiRc and all that shit...And sometimes I post Exclusives and shit, and I can only post them in MP3, so is this prohibited from now on or what? Well, I vote against that rule...Either way, I'm cool...PeACe

i dont know if you all noticed but i had started doing it too....i was just starting to offer mp3s and now it seems like i wont be able to when i was planning on making it a habbit...but its cool if you all feel like that...but i kinda agree with know i know
-
there'sa loophole!! of course there is ;)
you cant *directly link the files* you can however link to a page that contains the files.
technically not much difference... but it is in the eyes of some... since the MP3 is downloaded from an external site, not directly from WCC.. you dig?
ps
look for the user with the name jake in his name.. duh!
if you get stuck look through hall of mirrors, its in there.
-
i'mma have to point out that "the number of posts you have does not automatically entitle you to respect or anything else, it could just mean you have a big mouth and talk too much"
-
Anything Goes..... hmmm
not really 'Anything' its meant for porn, jokes, showing pics... not beef and shit talking like it seems to sometimes..shits supposed to be fun!
maybe it could be renamed...
-
why is a dude called Afgahn terrorist MOD in hall of mirrors??
dubCC support terrorists? :-/
bush for mod!!
fuck all afgahn terrorists!!! :D
-
truth is seer I think everything at the board is fine. Too many rules are guna fuck things up. I think everythin is ok right now.
-
a lot of these things are unwritten rules anyways... so writing em them down is just there to clear up when people ask... plus we gotta cover our ass on the mp3 thing

I think its cool if someone posts em up for a treat but I want a rule against people asking for them. "Can someone please post this up in mp3". DUnno how you guys feel about it but it gets on my nerves.

Well, if it's the same thing, than why would u make a rule against it?
Fuck that rule...People should be allowed to post MP3's any way they want, so that everyone gets a chance to hear the music...Most of the MP3's posted are direct links anyways, so taking away direct links to MP3's is basically taking away MP3's...
And I already chatted with Jake yesterday...Cant belive I havent realized he was back yet...PeACe
-
its NOT the same thing... the law is such that if a site provides a direct link to a file then its responsible.
whereas with a link on an external page it 1) opens a new browser window 2) has the link obviously on the external page.
its only a small difference, and technically yes, it shouldnt matter. but the fact is it does.
-
i've spoken to adriano, he isn't banned anymore. he just dont wanna post at the moment.
antonio.. well ::)

ah yeah, since when.... does he posted since ?
-
who jake or adriano?
jake has, adriano cant be bothered anyways
-
Yeah i got 2 things i would like people 2 think about:
1. Let people have their own opinions.
2. Maybe not a rule, but give hiphop from other countrys a chance and listen 2 it, most of u americans dont give (for example) Swedish hiphop a listen.
Man you gotta be openminded right!? Imagine if Dre wouldnt been openminded about George clinton, we wouldnt have "The Chronic" if thats was the case.
Peace
-
rules and regulations.......'
sorta like the 10 Crack Commandments?
;D ;D ;D ;D :D >:( :o ;D ;D ;D ::)
-
hmmmmm
I think you should only be allowed 1 avatar/pic.
Some cats gotta whole website of shit! Doesnt anybody notice how much slower this board is because of that ? I go on 4/5 other message boards and shit runs smoother due to the fact your only allowed 1 avatar which can only be 70x70 at the most. And it also looks so much more organized. I think the purpose of this message board is to read the information that we all post .......... but its hard when cats got 5 or 6 big ass pictures and 4 quotes from Eminem in size 12 font highlighted !!!
And your signature is just that .......... a signature! It isnt meant for putting pics.
So Overseer , if we could take care of this little problem ......... then that would be just terrific !! Have a great day !!!

replace the karma buttons with a "Ban this muthafucka" button
