First of all let me say sorry for posting this thread, I know I am not a moderator I just wanted to help the mods and to explain the rules on another way, sorry... If the mods thinks I did a wrong thing, they can delete the thread, ok here we go... I have some thing to say for new members...
Thanks for registering and Welcome to the forums, I hope you all enjoy your time here with us... Please try to be active members, this is not the official rules, you can check the official rules at other thread... Well you can call this just a reminder and hope if it helps...
While you enjoy your free snack, here are a few guidelines we would like you to follow, it's all pretty basic so no worries...
1. Be nice, we are an all inclusive comunity... No threads may be created to attack other members, mods, admins or groups of people. If you have a problem with someone, take it up with them via PM or speak to a mod about it. Respect the others opinion, Keep the bad and hate stuff out of this forums.
2. Post your topics in the Approprate forum. Pretty simple, game specific forums and several general catagories make this easy. For examble "Metal Gear's Thread" put it in the Gaming section, "What is your real name" should be in the General Discussing section, "What is your favorite anime ?" should be in the Anime section...etc
3. No Spam/flooding- Don't post for the hell of it, if your gonna post say something cool not just one word, but as for you want to welcome or vote you can say one word. For examble "I vote for Goku" It's enough and don't post a double post even if you did by mistake report it to a mod.
4. If something is a problem, ask a mod, or ask the admin or post in "Help" section. I am sure they are going to help you, but don't be mad if they didn't replied fast because as you know the mods and admins are also humans, they can't be around here 24 hours or they might didn't noticed your thread, so sometimes it takes alot of time, just be patient.
5. Problem posters will be subject to removal upon discression of board mods and only with consent of Admin.
6. Sometimes the board goes down, members can go on and sometimes not. So if attempted to come here and can't it's the server and not any actions taken by Montada Mods or Admins. Please don't allow this to hamper your stay at the forums.
7. Do not send the mods a PM asking to warn or ban someone simply because you don't like them. It won't happen so don't waste your time. Banning will only happen when the rules have been broken. Also don't blame the mods or admins for closing or deleting your threads!
8. If you have been warned by a mod or admin, responding by calling them names is the FASTEST way to get banned without your side of the story being heard. If you disagree with the mod then INTELLIGENT discussion via PM is the best way to present your case. Try and work with the mods. We are all reasonable and chances are we will help find a way to a happy medium for all parties involved.
9. No big pictures in the signature cause this will mess up with the forums layout, loading time...etc So keep it normal not like a wallpaper... Hope you understand!
10. Only one account per person. If you are found to have more than one account then one of them will be deleted, but if your brothers or sisters or friends (I mean a close friend) want an account for himself using your computer then it's fine.
11. If you have been banned and you decide to create a new account and return you should first inform any mod or admin about it, but if you want to come back to cause more problems then your IP will be banned, keep this in mind!
12. Don't post the same thread again and again... For example "Dragon Ball vs Yu Yu Hakusho" there is no need to post it again after months, just go and find the topic!
13. Don't threaten other members by saying I will come and kill you, I will do this or that...etc! Know your role and actions before running your mouth or powers
14. Help the mods keep the forums clean. If you see someone spamming the forums or breaking the rules or being a general nuisance, then report it to the mods or admins, as you know Mods and Admins can't be online 24 hours, they are humans too!
15. Be kind to newbies. Many times Newbies come into Anime section and post a thread that says "Hi! am I welcomed?" or "Where I can find this music" Now of course we have seen these threads many times, but chances are the newbie is just trying to get to know everyone. So don't be a prick and tell them their thread is lame.
16. No porn, No pictures or links to porn sites, all of us don't like hentai not only becuase our religion can't allow this but because it's really a disgusting thing if you ask me but yet sadly I know many others like it, if you like it go and find it out of this forums and don't ever try to post a hentai pictures or movies around here nor asking about it, or else I guess you would say good bye to your account.
17. Try not to go Off-Topic, I mean if the topic talks about "Dragon Ball" there is no need to chit chat in this topic just like say to your friend "How are you man!?" or "How old are you!?" you know what I mean, right...
18. Don't make threads to ask a member something like "Here is a gift for you" or "Hey I want to tell you something" if you have anything like this, you can use the Private Messages...
19. Don't force someone to write Arabic, I know we are in Arabic forums but that doesn't mean for someone who don't know Arabic to leave the forums, many of the people say alot of bad things to the one who write in english, I mean there is no different between us, maybe the guy who writes english have a reason for writing english... For example I know 3 guys who writes english all the time around here, that's because they are from Germany, the other one is from French and the third one is from Spain, I know I write english too I have my own reason, don't ask me or them by making threads, if you guys want to ask why we write in english you can send us a private message...
20. You should enjoy your stay here in the forums, posting some cool posts, threads and making the forums a better place to discuss n_n
Ok here are some misc new members questions...
"Can I make thread to introduce myself?"
Yes of course, but don't let the reason for posting this thread is to get attention and to get more replies, just post to introduce yourself and to know the others, hope you understand what I mean.
"Should I delete my thread after it has served its purpose?"
No. Others may get some use out of reading the information it contains...
"Where I can ask for pictures, songs, musics, wallpapers, animes names...etc!?"
Well if you have any request like this just kindly follow this link, and post at this thread... طلبات المنتدى مايطلبه الاعضاء (http://www.montada.com/games4arab/showthread.php?s=&threadid=143893)
"Where I can find informations about a special anime!?"
Just go here: فهـــــــــــــرس الانمي (http://www.montada.com/games4arab/showthread.php?s=&threadid=156148)
"Where I can find the greatest anime threads!?"
Just go here: منتدى المواضيع المميزة للإنمي (http://www.montada.com/games4arab/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=205)
"I want to invite people to post in my own forums"
I am sorry to say but you can't invite people in the forums... Not posting a thread nor inviting them by private message, but you can use the mail, read this: قانون سوف يعتمد رسميا من الان .. (http://www.montada.com/games4arab/announcement.php?s=&forumid=135)
"What is the moderators job!?"
Well the moderators can do alot of stuff, if you are a moderator you get to be able to delete, lock, unlock and move topics from the forum you moderate to other forums. Not much of a benefit if you ask me... On the other hand you have to keep the forum clean and readable (which means going through A LOT of posts and topics), as well as watching out for the way other members behave in here.
"Who are the moderators for Anime section"
They are alamal13, anime-girl, Arsene Lupin, FOX DIE, link.p, Rei
"What is so special about being a moderators!?"
Well I can't see anything special, as for me there is no different between the member and the moderator... I know many of you think that if he is a moderator then he is better than the others or maybe he will be respected by everyone... As for me I don't think so and I think it's damn wrong, sometimes I can see normal members but they are far better than moderators or admins, some mods like to be a bad one and he likes to bother the members because he is a mod or something like that and that's the worst thing for sure... So you should not be scared from mod, consider them as a normal members...
"How does one become a moderator?"
Well, don't ask me this because this refers to the admin on who to use... But yet you can be a loyal member and may someday the admin choose you, but keep in mind If you wish to reach the highest, begin from the lowest... Don't rush too much after posting alot of great posts asking the admin to make you a mod because this is the worst thing to say, that's mean that you want to be a mod just for the name not for the help, as I said before you can be better than the mods but try to not ask much to be a moderator... Try to respect everybody around here, try to post the greatest posts ever, stay away from lame threads, try to suggest some great ideas, inform the mods if there was anything wrong, don't make threads just to show us that you post alot and too much, try not to post stupid posts, and try to show for the people that you are enjoying discussing with them... That's the best way to be a great and loyal member in my opinion...
"Why some of the mods are not active!?"
Well as you know the mods are also humans, they need rest, eat, breaks time to time, they are not a machine, they have alot of things to do in real life, such as exams, works, or any other reasons...
"I mailed/PMed the mods but they didn't replied yet!?"
As I told you before, don't accept a reply from the mods everytime, some of the mods might delete your message accidently or he may didn't noticed your message, or he doesn't have the time to reply for some personal problems, so if you asked and the mods didn't replied try to ask them again or post it in the forums, because some of the mods don't check their mails too much, maybe once a week or something like that...
"I have posts more than anyone else, then why people doesn't respect me!?"
Well don't ever think that if you have more posts you will be respected more, no that's just dream, some of you just post without giving a damn what he is saying, he just want to increase his posts, that's wrong, who knows! maybe most of your posts are lame or not that good, should we respect you!? Ask yourself... The more cooler your posts are, the more respect you will earn, so good luck...
"Who is the lamer!?"
A lamer is somebody on the board that everyone dislikes. There's no way to define precisely what a lamer is, or what you should avoid doing so that you don't become one (abiding by the forum's rules is a good start, though). However, you'll know it if you turn into one. Everyone's fingers will be pointed at you. When a member is declared a lamer he will receive a direct warning. If he doesn't change his behaviour after that, he will be banned.
"What is SPAM!?"
SPAMMING/SPAM: Spamming is creating lots of threads or posts simply to be creating them. Creating 10 threads in one day = spam. Making a bunch of posts that just have a smiley in them = spam. You can reply to as many threads as you like but make most of the responses useful. Everyone has fun and creates useless stuff from time to time, but too much useless stuff will get you into trouble.
"What is FLAME!?"
FLAME: Saying bad words to anyone or to insault him with anyway... Flame maybe useful against bad persons in english forums but here I don't think so, any bad words considered a flaming
"What is HENTAI!?"
Hentai means sex.
"Somebody messed with me, I need to flame him, can I flame him!?"
NO. Report the member's doing to the forum moderators and they will take the necessary action accordingly...
"Dark Lord Dragon/Or anyone else bothering and messing with me for no reason, What should I do!?"
Well you can talk to the admins or the mods and say whatever you have, they for sure are going to warn me to stop doing this!? but if you informed a wrong things about me and I didn't done anything wrong, or you just want to get rid of me or anyone else, I guess this will make you a victim... Don't complain about anyone if they didn't done anything wrong, but if you have a problem with any member just feel free to ask the mods or the admins, and they are going to help you...
Sorry for the bothering and Hopefully these won't be hard to follow, or makes you hate me or hate anyone here because Hatred is the Madness of the heart... Please enjoy your time here...
Sincerly,
Dark Lord Dragon...
