I’m not real big on ‘rules’. For me at least, they never seem to always work, and quite often there are exceptions that can make things real complicated (take the US Tax Code for example).
Alas, some rules are needed, and it’s about that time we set some boundaries for the discussions here at Camp Sonic. We’ll keep it short and sweet, but at the same time, try to carve out some easy ways to promote valuable discussion here at the Camp.
So, without taking any more of your time:
Comment Deleted / Not Showing?
- Don’t tell us what post you are. If you’re first, we’ll know. Promise. Otherwise, if you write “First!111!!!one!” and end up being 12th, you just look like a fool, and end up taking up room with two comments (the second being your recovery comment letting us know that you were not first… which again, we already knew).
- Be intelligent. No, you don’t need to be a college graduate to post here — heck, even an elementary student can get by… but we do ask that you do your best to sound intelligent when you speak. We are looking for valuable discussion here, which is difficult to come by when we cant reed wut ur sayin. k?
- Be respectful. You don’t need to always agree with others to be respectful, we just ask that you stray away from personal attacks. Also, respect the fact that we are a blog with viewers from both sexes of all ages. I won’t lecture you on a potty mouth here, but if you’re going to be crude, please do it elsewhere.
- Wait!!!?!?! I followed all of those rules, but my comment still isn’t showing! What’s going on? To help reduce spam on Camp Sonic, we’ve taken measures that prevent some comments from being shown without being approved first by a moderator. Some things that will trigger a comment being held for moderation include having 2+ links in a comment, or posting a naughty word in a comment.
How to get Insta-Banned
- Be malicious!
- Spam!
- Steal something from us (under which case we’ll file a DMCA complaint if need be)!
It’s real simple folks, and I don’t think we’ll have too much of a problem with any of the rules (we hardly do at this point anyways). If you’ve got questions, or concerns, let us know. If you think you’re interested in a moderation position, check out our Jobs page.
we all also consider you as a...
those are really good rules i totally agree with you.
but does C.R .A .P count as a naughty word?
excellent rules
I personally agree with the whole “first comment” thing, though I think I might have done that once…or twice XD
@Weresonic: Chao are in Sonic Unleashed
It’d be great to see this site expand as a Sonic website for all sonic games. Websites like TSS just don’t do it for me, something about TSS I don’t like.
What prompted this post? Did I miss some insta-bannage?
Be intelligent?….Damn….well, see ya’ guys later. It was fun while it lasted. XD
ill be here all day popping in after i get 3 gold ranks on satsr which will be easy on sand oasis and errazor djin boss ill tell yalls later lolol
@sonicgate we know
bye dragonite have a good time… uh i sound like his mother AND im a guy, what the hecks with that??? but bye anyway!
hey there is another sonic game comeing out for the wii, its sonic and the black knight.
i like the rules, but im 11 so malacious? i hope i spelled that right… btw im an a+ student at school not so much of a grammar freak on the internet though so ya…happy camping! =D
are you sure that the link limit is a good idea?
Some people may want to use 2 or more links for a good reason…
Perhaps 4 fits?
anyway,that post makes me feel uneasy by nature,but I follow those guidelines already naturally.
Besides,most people here know me already.:P
and I am off for holiday,this is my last comment for a while.
bye.
@David Leggett : Aw still no contest results
I was hoping after E3 they’d be announced. I guess we’ll just have to wait. Oh yeah, and is Camp Sonic gonna stick around after Unleashed comes out and continue to update with info on other sonic games?
@Zink120: Well, Dark Knight is due for a spring 2009 release. I’d say that we are much more likely to cover chronicles before that title… And we may not cover that either. Our plans for the future are not 100% set in stone, but there is definitely talk about widening the scope of our Blog to more of Sonic’s world, as well as more of the gaming world in general.
Ah… Thanks for posting this.
All those ‘first’s were really starting to get on my nerves!
Also, out of interest, seeing as there most likely won’t be anymore Unleashed info for a while, what do you think the odds are of covering Dark Knight too? I know you mentioned it before, I was just curious to see if you’d had anymore thoughts on it.
Many thanks!
Rules are always a good thing, and tend to keep the discussions nice and under control (unless a very emotional Silver fan were to show up….then I’d head for the hills) and the rules here are pretty easy to follow, because they’re more like common-sense than actual guide-lines to posting.
Never-the-less, good job keeping everything clean and safe for the campers! =D
How dare you make rules, you…Nazi!
Haha j/p…I have moderated at websites before, and actually recieve those kinds of comments. Frankly, the internet scares me. Good luck,
I sent an application for a Moderating position, just to let you know.
I hope their is a chao garden in su please people at camp sonic keep your eyes and ears open for chao news!!!!
@Admin:
Nice Job! Keeping order helps move stuff along, and allow for more intelligent discussions.
Im glad you care about the people here.
Don’t worry about it. I’ll follow the rules. Yay! FIRS-
