    REMINDER: Read the forum and shoutbawx rules

    Lately, many people have been breaking rules unintentionally. Regarding all members, general posting rules and etiquette can be found in the OwnedCore Handbook. Keep in mind that many forums have specific rules for themselves too; read each forums rules carefully before posting.

    For those who have donated or gained the privilege of using the shoutbawx, please read the shoutbawx rules carefully before making your next shout.

    We're not out to ban everyone, and prefer to give warnings, and in a perfect world neither should be an issue, but a lot of things have been out of control with Diablo 3 lately, and we will more than likely see a similar situation when Mists of Pandaria launches. Please review the rules so no privileges are revoked from your account here on OwnedCore.

    We want each and every member to have a positive experience on OwnedCore. If you feel something violates the rules, report the thread/post and be sure to include a link to the thread/post you are reporting.

    Thank you,
    Relican


    *******************************************************************

    Bawx Rules
    Rules for the Shoutbawx: Updated 19th of September

    I. Hating/Flaming

    1. DO NOT flame someone for breaking the rules. Instead, tell them the rule they broke and point them to the rulebook.

    II. Spamming

    1. DO NOT shout more than 4 times in a row.
    2. DO NOT spam, its annoying for one message to be split into multiple lines, instead put it into a single well-thought sentence.
    3. DO NOT spam /me. 4. DO NOT spam 4chan stuff like "Shoop Da Woop" or "mudkipz".

    III. Editing

    1. DO NOT edit your shout to make it look as if someone said something they didn't.
    2. DO realize that you can edit a shout by double-clicking it, rather than posting a new shout.

    IV. Shouting

    1. DO NOT use different fontsizes, underline, hard to read colors (blue,black,etc) or anything else that would make your shout un-readable!
    2. DO think before you shout.
    3. DO think of other's feelings.
    4. DO remember you aren't the only one in the bawx, think before you shout, use common sense.

    V. Linking

    1. DO NOT link to shock sites (IE: 2Girls1Cup, Meatspin, etc.)
    2. DO NOT link your own OwnedCore thread, unless it can help solve a question in the bawx.
    3. DO NOT link pornographic material, jailbait, loli, or anything else deemed inappropriate by a staff member (IV-Shouting, Rule 4)

    VI. Other Members

    1. DO NOT release personal information about other members(MMOwned Member or not).
    2. DO NOT ask why another member is banned.
    3. DO NOT accuse others of having scammed MMOwned members in the bawx. PM a staff member about it instead, but if there is no trade thread then don't bother.
    4. DO NOT annoy any member of the staff.

    VII. Discussion

    1. DO NOT Rick Roll!
    2. DO NOT use other languages, real or game-oriented, in the Bawx. Not everybody can understand it / wants to use your translator.
    3. DO NOT let Drug discussions get out of hand.
    4. DO NOT let Sexual discussions get out of hand.
    5. DO NOT beg for reputation in the bawx, or say something along the lines of "I only need 10 rep for contributor rank!".

    VIII. Trading/Begging

    1. DO NOT Trade/Buy/Sell in the Bawx in the ShoutBawx, take it to the Trading Section/PMs/MSN.*

    IX. Moderation

    1. DO NOT Question actions taken by moderators (If you have any question/issues, PM a Mod / Super Mod / Admin - Don't bring it up in front of everyone).
    2. DO NOT Question one's integrity as a moderator. People who become moderator have been picked carefully and are able to do their jobs properly. If you disagree contact an admin.
    3. If your name is not Cyan, Green, or Red, YOU ARE NOT A MODERATOR.
    4. Not everyone receives the same punishment. Each staff member and day can be different.
    5. Staff have priveledges - meaning they can break the rules. Just because a staffmember breaks a rule - doesn't mean that you can do it.
    6. DO NOT bother complaining, just accept that you broke a rule and were punished for it. It's best to live by these rules.


    *It is impossible for us to find out what has gone wrong in the trade if you initiate a trade in the shoutbawx.
    Therefore it is your own responsibility, if you are scammed, and we will not act on it.

    The sitewide rules state that you need to have a trade section thread in order to report someone of scamming. You will not have that if you trade in the bawx and therefore it will be impossible for you to report someone of scamming if your trade was handled over the bawx.
    This does NOT mean that you can scam in the bawx, anyone found to have scammed on the site will be PERMABANNED!

    DO NOT TALK ABOUT STUFF FROM ELITE !! Not all, with access to the bawx, can see elite sections.

    I don't understand why the mods have the power to break the rules but they are here to enforce them, isn't that a bit or irony?

    Even if it is a "reward" as said above, Admin and whatnot can still punish them if if they abuse the privilege.

    And really, I'd say the only rules I've ever seen a mod break were in the bawx, usually for examples and in the context of what not to do.

    Yes of course.. If a mod is out of line, please contact us so I can have a look at it.. IF a mod is abusing his powers we will have a talk with him.
