While I trust you guys to be civil at this point in time, I'd just like to lay some lines down for if and when the comic starts attracting the more...primitive sort.
1) Be courteous. This means no flaming, no trolling, or any other versions of being an idiodic jerk. You will be warned and then banned if it comes to this, and any threads containing such posts will be either locked or deleted, depending on their entertainment-to-offensiveness ratio.
By the way, swearing is allowed; or rather, it should be, if I've got the cussing filter configured properly. It's not the words you use that makes you a jerk; it's how you use them.
2) Spam will not be tolerated. Spam posts will be deleted, and spam posters will be banned. If it is about porn, poker, or the enhancement of certain body parts, it is spam, and certain other instances of advertising-style posting may very well be considered spam as well. (Not like any spammers will ever actually read the rules, but I'm saying it anyway.)
Also, in the guidlines catagory:
1) Please avoid monster-sized avatars and signatures. They eat bandwidth, which is an issue for dial-up users (no, they are not an extinct species!), and can make reading things difficult for those of us who do not have large, glorious screens.
2) Use karma carefully, please. I've heard some horror stories of what happens when people get severely smitten. It can go into the negatives, and I'd rather not see anyone's karma go that low.
3) Please avoid chatspeak. I'll tolerate "lol" and "omg", maybe a few others, but after a while it not only makes posts hard to read but can make you look stupid too. You don't have to have perfect spelling when you write words out, but try your best, and we'll forgive you minor transgressions.
I think that's it for now. Go have fun now!
