As I have been trying to be more present on the website these last few days, I have noticed the users interacting on this platform are mostly new, so some of them might not be familiar with what is considered forbidden and what is considered allowed, as the rules are slightly outdated. This topic serves as a reminder for those who already know and as information for those who did not. This will be relatively quick and brief, so please read up. [If you still consider this too long, at least skip to the end of the message, to the TL;DR section.]

What You Can Do

- Post topics to talk about Mario games.
- Post topics to talk about various games as long as they are not innapropriate.
- Interact with each other with relevancy.
- Post topics to talk about certain topics that are not political and known/relevant/important enough for a certain amount of people to talk about it.
- Create fanfics.
- Create gameshows but looking out for useless messages/message farming.
- Create a topic to strictly introduce yourself if you are a new user, and provide at least a minimal amount of information about yourself and your interests.
- Have calm and open debates (not arguments) on non-political matters/subjects.


What You Cannot Do

- Say everything that comes to your mind.

Examples:
oh! a bird just flew by my window!

yum! i had pancakes for breakfast :)

sonic fun :)


Reason: Those messages are not relevant and drown actually relevant topics in the topic section or messages in the topics itself. MKPC Forum is not a groupchat. Not everyone needs to know what you had for breakfast, what just happened in your life (unless it is major), what you would say orally to your mother or to your best friend is not our business.

- Create "make a story" topics.

Reason: While the concept of it might seem fun, it is more often than not used as a place to farm messages. People don't try to make the story funny or interesting, they just say random stuff to get their message count up; they put words together without truly asking themselves if it actually makes sense; it doesn't. For now, these topics will hence be forbidden.

- Anything regarding the message leaderboard, whether it be trying to get your count up, or talk about your count.

Reason: Those were created as a little fun thing back then when MKPC had a much smaller userbase. Now that it has grown, it has become people's motivation to get their count up. They want to get a higher league on their profile, or to be on top of the monthly message leaderboard. That is forbidden. I have stated it several times and will do it again. Stricly any message saying "I am 2nd this month!" "I just reached Gold Mario!" "1000th message!" "I'm trying to get my count up hehe" will be DELETED, and warnings/bans might be sent if it occurs several times.

- Treat any user with disrespect.

Reason: Speaks for itself. Respect everyone.

- Create or engage in arguments.

Reason: While creating arguments is forbidden, it always happens at a certain point. Two users start arguing/fighting over something. In this situation, you need to REPORT the message and not engage. We do not care which side you are from, just report the message. Your interaction will make it escalate.

- Excessive multiposting.

This one is quite simple, a few messages in a row are fine but over 3 is a no.

- Minimodding.

Reason: This is something I myself used to do back then. While the gesture of trying to help us when we are not online is appreciated, do not do it regardless. If you see an user creating an useless topic, you report it. Anything? You report it. You don't tell them what's wrong with what they have done, that is our job.


I think I have said about everything I had to. Hope this can be heard throughout the community so that MKPC can be a slightly better place. Thank you for reading.

And, if you didn't:

TL;DR:
- Keep it non-political
- Keep it relevant
- Keep it peaceful and respectful
- Don't engage, do report

That's it. Have a nice day or night. Thank you!

Just adding since some people may be unaware, report does not always mean going to the report topic and sending a message about it; there is a report button in the top right corner of every message. Just press that and let the mods deal with it, use the report topic for more serious matters

Je le dis encore une fois. Mais les gens qui font des messages pour s'augmenter dans le classement, ça me sort par la tête je tiens à dire que quand je faisais ce genre de remarque que les topic, ce n'est pas pour faire genre que je suis modérateur

Are we allowed to Minimod on our own topics? Let's say somebody creates a topic about Mario Galaxy movie and a forum member promotes a track that hey have just created.
Can't the topic owner just tell them that it's not the place to post or promote their tracks?

Well, it depends on the topic owner. Personnally you could, but not every topic owner can be trusted.

I really wanted to review some rules that I may have forgotten, because I maybe did some mistakes in the past.

Thanks for reminding me!:D
