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.
