This is referring to a couple of drug references that were deleted, leaving the posts where alcohol was mentioned. |

Yeah, there was a bit of a misunderstanding. In any case, I'm glad to get that cleared up. |

Can /spoiler be used to hide non-pg references, or statements that may "invite flaming"? (with a warning of course). I'd like to use it to post my opinions that people (or overzealous mods *jokes*) would most likely disagree with, contains sarcasm, etc. |

No. Spoiler tags only invite people to look at what was said if used in that way. |

I have to ask. In order to join an RP do you need to supply a character sheet? I don't mean to sound "Noobish" but I have been in multiple forum RP's. And a lot of them require a character sheet. |

Welcome to the Housepets! forum community! Please take a moment to introduce yourself in the welcome thread. If you have questions about role playing, I encourage you to check out the Role Playing Section, especially the Out-Of-Character Sub-Forum which relates to character and campaign creation and management. You can get a lot of good information from the Main Pet-Friendly OOC Thread. If you still have questions, feel free to send a private message to ctcmjh, that section's moderator. I also recommend spending some time in the forums dedicated to the comic and dropping by the Not the Comic section for some non-Housepets! discussion. |

What exactly is trolling? Some of the things that you mentioned in the rules I have never even heard about. |

Post subject: | Re: Forum Rules |
Trolling is saying something specifically for the purpose of making others angry. At least, that's how I understand it. |

Post subject: | Re: Forum Rules |
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. The noun troll may refer to the provocative message itself, as in: "That was an excellent troll you posted". While the word troll and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels subjective, with trolling describing intentionally provocative actions outside of an online context. For example, mass media uses troll to describe "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families." Source: WIKIPEDIA I remembered it as a useless site, but times are changing. I found almost everything there i was looking for. (Irrelevant:I also found a slang dictionary.) |

Thanks for letting me know, I had never heard of that term before. Good thing though now I know. I would never do that to anyone. |

It's been about a year since I was last here and I want to get into the RP, but I have no clue how...can I get some help? I know I need to make a character, but where do I do that? And where can I even put him? And is there a character template. |

I'm sorry but what was changed exactly? |
Author: | Obbl [ Sat Oct 15, 2011 7:54 pm ] |
Post subject: | Re: Forum Rules |
Pretty much everything has been updated anywhere between a little to a lot. I think most of the updates are clarifications based on certain circumstances within the past year. Either way, it's a good excuse to familiarize ourselves once again with the rules. ![]() |

So I'm going to have to get rid of The Peanut and Grape fan and the Sasha King Fan sig now? And also does that solicitation rule include things for Charities like I some times posted when people where having video game marathons to raise money? |
Author: | Dissension [ Sat Oct 15, 2011 8:21 pm ] |
Post subject: | Re: Forum Rules |
The shipping signatures will have to go. As far as the solicitation rule, that was drafted after several incidents of people asking for donations or offering their artistic services in exchange for money. I believe notification of charity events is fine as long as you do not benefit. Example: 'Hey, guys, Steam's donating all proceeds to charity for the next 24 hours' as opposed to 'Hey, guys, I lost my job and I need money. Please donate to my Paypal account.' |

Post subject: | Re: Forum Rules |
I don't understand why the shipping sigs have to go have they really cause that many problems? And does that include my Challenger01 Fan sig too? Edit: You know I feel I need to say it maybe I'll get modded for it maybe not but I need to get this off my chest. It seems to me that The Mods or Rick or Both want to ban shipping out right. Fine if that's what you want to do then go ahead; its your forum you can do what you want, I'm not going to like it but I would comply, but if that is what you want to do (which I'm sorry to me seems to be the case here) then just do it already. It just seems to me that getting rid of the Shipping Sigs is utterly pointless and I really don't get why your even doing it. |

Some people are turned off by the shipping, really, and we don't want to scare people off. Shipping is still allowed for discussion if it's relevant to the comic being discussed, which is the main place shipping belongs anyway. |

Ahh, and right after I created my first ever animated .gif, too. Oh well. Seems a silly little thing to be turned off by, but I won't argue. |

You two apparently missed the great shipping thread. It was truly a terror to behold. ![]() It is a small thing over all; not such a great burden to bear, eh? |
Author: | Dissension [ Sun Oct 16, 2011 2:09 pm ] |
Post subject: | Re: Forum Rules |
Effective immediately, not all shipping signatures are forbidden. Only those pertaining to a coupling considered disturbing or creepy (examples: Fido/Bino or Mr. Sandwich/Grape) are restricted; other signature images will be considered on a case-by-case basis if we get complaints about them. A refined version of the shipping rule will be added in the near future. |

Post subject: | Re: Forum Rules |
I am glad I read that part about shipping and took down my signature before any of the mods said anything. And now I just did that for no reason cuz of what I just saw above me. |
Author: | FowlJ [ Sun Oct 16, 2011 6:02 pm ] | |||||||||
Post subject: | Re: Forum Rules | |||||||||
Fido/Bino is a thing? Ew. Do not want. Out of curiosity, though - The examples that you gave are crack pairings, and thus already violate an existing rule, don't they? What was another rule needed for? |
Author: | Sleet [ Sun Oct 16, 2011 6:07 pm ] |
Post subject: | Re: Forum Rules |
Presumably, borderline creepy ship banners (King and Sasha being the most popular example, considering King used to be human) that have gotten complaints will now side on the "not allowed" side rather than the "allowed" side. |

*giggles* Not necessary! It's not obviously disturbing and there've been no complaints about it. |

I guess that's what you can call what a dragon has. I'm going to miss the randomized shipping bar Zander and I made, but it's for the best. Don't wanna creep no one out. *giggles* |

Are you seriously equating rules against unrealistic character pairing with hate speech? 'Cause that's pretty cussed up. |
Author: | Obbl [ Mon Oct 17, 2011 11:45 pm ] |
Post subject: | Re: Forum Rules |
I find it interesting to note that this quote you are in contention with contains only a reference to valentine's day and Human/pet relations as creepy. ![]() Also be careful throwing around the word "hate speech" (adding "borderline" doesn't really soften the statement all that much). When people say others must be tolerant of their beliefs, I feel they also have the obligation to be tolerant of the fact that not everyone agrees with them. One can disagree and even proclaim their disagreement without being hateful. |
