Camp Sonic Discussion Guidelines Updated

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.

    Are those really Chao though? The picture is sort of fuzzy, so it’s hard to tell.

    Hey David, what kind of writing are you interested in having for this site outside of Unleashed news? I love to write, but I never bothered offering assistance since searching for news isn’t my forte. That’s why I visit your site. But I could very well be interested in helping…this site is very positive and open-minded for a Sonic site. Or a gaming site in general. If it’s up my alley, I’ll send some sample writing.

    @Lyon the Groundhog: Um, i think they might just be tumbling rocks. Cause i think chao are blue most of the time (unless modified). But, i hope its real. That’d be awesome.

    @WiiFP:

    Well, I dunno where HE pulled his info, but a quick trip to Google earned me this

    It’s no prank, it’s an actual Screenshot from Sonic Unleashed, and there are Chao INgame…whether or not they’ll be in the Chao Garden or just mere decorations, is uncertain still.

    @DarkChaos: Svend’s a really great writer :) I’ve really enjoyed reading some of his recent entries (although things seem pretty heated over there right now).

    I try to add stuff every now and then that isn’t entirely in the scope of “Sonic Unleashed”, and we’re figuring out what other topics our viewers would appreciate (and at the same time, we’ll have fun writing about).

    @Zink120: We definitely won’t stop at Unleashed, but that’s what we’ve got our eyes set on at this point. If we cover anything about Chronicles, it would most likely consists of tips, tricks, guides, etc after the game is released.

    @WiiFP: Working on it. I will say that emailing me (while appreciated) won’t speed up the process ;)

    @RockerDuDe: No, it’s a preset filter.

    @enzo_gt: Nothing prompted this other than we don’t have any guidelines set right now. I figure it’s best to cover all our bases so we don’t run into problems down the road. The campers have been a great bunch so far :) A community I think a lot of us are proud of.

    Nice, easy to follow rules. I would love to help you out here, but I don’t believe I am good enough to be a moderator. I don’t have much experience with that stuff.

    @David Leggett: It would be awesome if this site widen its field. I look at TSS sometimes and their information is nice but their jokes mixed in with them leave things to be desired. I would enjoy getting my information here much more.

    @David Leggett:
    Oh, I see. I kinda thought that we’re so far into Chronicles now that it would be very difficult to cover it here because there’s so much info already.
    I find that Camp Sonic has a really nice feel to it, and a good community, so I think it’d be cool to carry on with something after Unleashed is out!
    p.s. Thanks for the quick reply! :-)
