The Rules + Other Information (***READ BEFORE POSTING***)
Posted: Tue Oct 26, 2010 11:18 pm
Welcome to the Off-Topic section of the Wonderland forum. Please read this post in its entirety before posting in this section.
The Wonderland community used to have a non-moderated Off-Topic area, but over time it became infested with spam, nonsense posts, and generally too many posts of little quality.
Instead of deleting the entire area of the forum, this new section has been created as an experiment in a moderated environment. Please post responsibly: your own posting behaviour in this section could determine whether or not this area of the forum will continue to exist.
Note: All site rules apply to this forum.
1. This topic is for posts not related to Wonderland - but not for spam!
Examples of "good" topics: Discussion of other games, discussion of movies/music, your own home-made projects, interesting puzzles, etc.
Examples of "bad" topics: forum games, political/heated discussions, nonsense posts or posts with no clear point, repeated questions, etc.
2. Always look for an existing similar topic first, before creating a new topic.
We don't want to see individual topics about every movie you wish to discuss. A single "movie" discussion post is sufficient.
If you want to discuss a specific game, e.g. Super Mario 64, then a single thread for this game is fine. However, if you start posting about five or ten different games you wish to discuss, that is considered too much. Pick a game that you think many others will be interested in.
3. This topic area is moderated!
Moderators have permission/power to move/lock posts as they see fit. They are doing this to help keep the off-topic area alive and well, and they are doing this as volunteers. Please do not get into arguments with them ("why did you delete my post???") - consider them your friends and partners in keeping this part of the forum going, and help wherever you can.
If you feel that a moderator has targeted your posts too often (and not just after two or three posts), you can PM Midnight Synergy and ask for advice/opinion.
Important: Moderators will be able to see your e-mail address that you used to register your account, as well as the IP address from which you are posting. They are instructed to ignore this information - not that they really could do anything with it - but information is given to you in the interest of full disclosure.
If you are uncomfortable with any of the above, please do not post in this area. (Moderators cannot see this information in other areas).

1. Moderators deal with every case on a case-by-case basis, so if others did the same thing as you, it does not necessarily mean you can do it. Always check the rules, and if in doubt, ask a mod.
2. Mods do have a life and may overlook posts. Please help us by trying to help report suspicious posts by PM.

Merging some of the stickied threads into just one topic for convenience's sake.

Removing point 4 about this being an experiment; other temporary measures
