well, in regard to one of robs rules...i see no reason not to bump a post to try and get interest going again...being annoying about it, spamming, or not knowing when to stop beating a dead horse...thats something else...but simple bumps should be OK

All those draft guidelines are reasonable and basically, common sense.

If you decide not to go with rules, I would suggest putting this as part of the guidelines:
- The admins and moderators have the right to edit any post or ban anyone they choose without justification to the rules.
/\ || We really don't want spammers advertizing porn or hardcore trolls on this forum. I trust the members of this forum are fairly reasonable people, and understand when a fairly reasonable Admin or mod decides to get rid of a spam bot or hardcore troll. Just because it's not technically against the rules to spam or super troll, it doesn't mean you are immune to banishment. I trust the admins/mods would never betray the community by banning innocent members.

All those draft guidelines are reasonable and basically, common sense. That's really the point. For veteran forum-goers, these all seem like common sense. However, to the newbies, they might not know all of this. Plus, we've had multiple members who (whether intentionally or not) have been straying from the basic forum guidelines that should apply to any board on the net. So, this is a way for us to not only have a reference for discipline, but for us as a tribe to decide what kind of forum behavior we'd like to be surrounded with and expected to follow.

I'd suggest sticking with calling them guidlines. Rules sound scary. And breakable.
But they sound good, yeah.

- The admins and moderators have the right to edit any post or ban anyone they choose without justification to the rules. Trolls and bots are covered in the guidelines (especially if we include Rob's suggestions), so I really don't think we need this one. It gives the admins/mods absolute power, which is something we're trying to avoid.

You'll definitely never get in trouble for not using proper grammar and spelling. That'd be dumb. That guideline is more of a suggestion than anything...

Ok, so I modified the rules of the internet (all 35 of them) and created "The Rules of SPOTM" (This has been passed around the SPOTM skype chat for a while, what better place to post it?) 1. Do not talk about /bree/ 2. Do NOT talk about /bree/ 3. We are Admins. 4. Admins are legion. 5. Admins do not forgive, Admins do not forget. 6. Admins can be horrible, senseless, uncaring monsters. 7. Admins are still able to deliver. 8. There are no real rules about posting. 9. There are no real rules about moderation either — enjoy your ban. 10. If you enjoy 4chan — DON'T. 11. You must have pictures of Dugtrio in your signature 12. Lurk like David — it's never enough. 13. Nothing is Sacred. 14. Do not argue with Francisco — it means that he wins. 15. The more beautiful and pure a thing is, the more satisfying it is to corrupt it. 16. There are NO girls on SPOTM. 17. A troll is fine too. 18. One troll leads to another. 19. The more you hate it, the stronger it gets. 20. It is delicious cake. You must eat it. 21. It is delicious trap. You must hit it. 22. /bree/ sucks today. 23. Dugtrio goes in here. 24. You nerds will never have sex. 25. ? 26. PROFIT! 27. It needs more communism. No exceptions. 28. There will always be more fucked up SHIRT than what is in Zack's signature. 29. You can not divide by zero (just because Dan says so). 30. No real limits of any kind apply here — not even the moon 31. CAPSLOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL. 32. EVEN WITH CRUISE CONTROL YOU STILL HAVE TO STEER. 33. Commie Roll isn't funny. Seriously guys. It's worse than Rick Roll. 34. There is porn in Zack's signature. No exceptions. 35. If no porn is found in his signature, it will
