the ruleset - I have questions
Back to Archive of group related things discussions#1 rudolf
Welp guys, and there we are again, this time threading the really redicolous but well-written rule set of which probably only a few users put the effort into it to read them. Bad for our big world changers, AKA the moderation team, I'll just list my points and argues and we'll see where this goes.
1.3. When creating a topic, please try and be specific with the title, so that it's clear what the topic is about. Topics with names such as "a strange problem, I've got a question, something fun or don't know how to name this thing" will be deleted without warning or explanation, regardless of their content and number of posts, when noticed by an admin. This applies to all topics created after the publication of these rules.
Just why? You can't just delete a topic name because it's name. Even if the topic is called "I am going to take a shit in a toiled" the administrators are forced to read the content. Imagine the thread is by David Piper or someone else high ranked in Elten and threads the shutdown or an important change about Elten? That example was might a bit harsh, still "a weird problem" shouldn't be deleted just because it's name. If you aren't that lazy, you should think about renaming the thread?
1.6. Write accurately. Please avoid misspelled words, grammatical errors or writing as pronounced by the screenreader. If you need to, use the spell checker to help you, this in turn will allow for easier comprehension of your posts.
This likely shouldn't be a rule, unless we had user cases, besides trolls, who always intentionally wrote in a bad gramar and with a bad spelling. By the way, doesn't this applies for the administrator? At least I for my part find the gramar in the administration log very questionable.
Wow, great. Promoting a paid feature of Elten to follow a rule? Seriously guys, how far will this go?
1.7. Don't make the reading/listening of topics difficult. If you are replying to a post directly above yours, there is no need for you to quote it. When quoting, please only include the part you are referring to.
Uh ok. This rule is not really understandable or reasoned. If I want to quote the last post and answer to it, I can do so. Nobody prevents me to do so, and for what is the feature otherwise good? Unless you aren't able to press your control key or read a post with your arrow keys instead just pressing tab, reading the whole post till it has completely finished with, as example 1/82 and then pressing tab again, which every nomal being doesn't do, anyways we're getting offtopic - where was I?
Uh yeah, at our great ruleset which is by the way made from 4 different documents which, almost all, go in conflict with each other. Very smart.
3.1. Before asking a question on the above forum, a user is obliged to do their own research beforehand.
Just sayin', who is going to check if I google something or not? Yes, I agree that it may be not very smart to create a topic about something that already exists threading the exact same issue, although still.
3.3. If the user manages to solve the problem on their own, they should share the solution with the rest of the community. In the case of marking the topic as solved without providing the information on how it's been solved, they will receive a warning, since the topic won't be useful to anyone.
Wait. So as example, if we have the topic called "this moment, when", it isn't useful either. You aren't going to issue a warning if someone finds out an answer but don't wants to share it? Then again, how do you want to even figure out that the person has found a sulotion if they is just smart enough to ignore the thread?
Finally I am just taking a short turn right at the ruleset terms and conditions, plus the rule about cracked and forbidden stuff and taking a slight look at the you tube program. I know that this isn't the fault of the English Community, still this is very questionable if 2 rules are against the program itself people use every day. IN teory, wouldn't every user which uses the you tube program should receive a warning as well then?
Alright I am done with bitching about the rules, which inded make no sense. If you have something useful to comment on, please free feel to do so, but remember on the rules and keep on topic and just contribute related and useful content to this topic. Thank you, everyone. For being a part of this toxic community with the most conflicting and amazing ruleset every, which should create a world record, and reading this post which inded isn't an atemt to create a drama or be a troll, and is being requested to be considered seriously.

Yeah and apparently the Admin can edit posts at will if he thinks it doesn't fit with the thread and isn't obliged to tell you. What is this? How do you expect the community to be calm and productive when you have foolishness like this coming down from the administration?
#3 daszekmdn
The post will be considered seriously as any. I will refer to it shortly.
#4 Faelthias Banned
dont ask anythin from 'em theyll ban ya
#5 khalil2009
*I will refer to it shortly. *5 days later. no response. you call that shortly?
#6 daszekmdn
Yes.
Because we take enquiries and questions to points of regulations seriously, it takes a while. We working on some solutions and will back with reply.
If I had not concluded that certain things needed to be rethought I would have replied on the same day.
Remember that everyone has a private life and limited time ;).
#7 khalil2009
I mean it doesn't take 5 days to make a post. clearly you had time because you made a post then
#8 alchappers
Now that's harsh, Khalil. You're forgetting that the admins and mods are doing everything they can to prevent this shitfest from descending into carnage, and they have lives outside of this platform.
#9 khalil2009
I don't think you know what harsh means. like I said before, he clearly had even a little bit of time to make a post. so why didn't he just explain then
#10 musicman5464
Perhaps he had stuff come up and simply forgot to make the post at the time. Cut the guy some slack. Seriously.
#11 daszekmdn
Having time to write a post and having time to change some things in the rules are two different things. Give us some time.
#12 daszekmdn
We updated the rules by including more explanations.
Point 1.6 about writing correctly, is no longer in rules, because it can be misunderstood by some users which can think that we can ban them for things written incorrectly.
1.7, from now on 1.6 about the quotations is precised.
3.3 about problem-solving was completely modified because such a large consequence was a mistake from our side and would have made no sense.
We will respond to your other comments shortly.
#13 rudolf
heh, from now on you will get a warning when your question's answer is the first result on google? All, right then?
#14 daszekmdn
That was the point from the start.
#15 Sir-Charlie
Just a bit silly rofl. Perhaps just leave a note and if they do it again only then. Good changes otherwise.
