Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Evolving from another thread I'm wondering how many people actually read the rules of Accyweb BEFORE joining.

Disclaimer - When you join, if it says have you read the rules and agree to abide by them, and then in this poll admit you didn't read them, don't blame me if you get banned for breaking the rules :D ( My name will be first on the list :hidewall: )

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

What rules?
:eek:

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

can we have a poll dave?...were's the poll gone? :D

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Back to Poland so you'll have to do your own plumbing until the economic downturn is over!

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

I'm sure I made the poll public so I could see who tells porkie pies :D

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

There was a program on the other night, some people in poland have had a serious plumbing problem for months, and cant get a plumber for love nor money... wonder if they can still get a curry in some places?? :eek:

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

well I really cannot contribute unless there is a poll...I mean one that states the way you have voted so that 6 weeks later some div from Ossie can trawl through masses of members posts and say..."you voted this way in such a poll 6 weeks ago".. I mean it just would not be the same. :D

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Did you miss the a off the end of div ? ;)

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Might be worth you sending your lads over there if you have to tighten your belt, better than laying someone off eh?

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

You've contadicted yourself.

Sixteen months ago you quite clearly said in this thead...

Oh, nevermind.;):D

No, I didn't read the rules before joining.:)

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

ah dave ..you may think that but I could not possibly comment!

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

do you know ...just occured to me I never have kept a dairy on my day to day activities..I do find comfort in the knowledge that at least someone is doing it for me....if I go before you Garinda you would make an exellent ghost writer for my life story.. and I insist you leave no stone unturned! :D

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Thankfully I have a quite astonishing memory.

One glance at the forums rules was all that was needed for them to lodge in my brain.

It also comes in terribley handy when giving evidence that someone has contradicted themselves on the forum. My instant recall can save hours searching out evidence in old threads.

I keep a tally in my head, of who said what and where, and how many times someone has made a complete numpty of themselves.

It's a blessing from above.:):D

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

I hate to break it to you, but I passed over years ago.

Though the charges of witchcraft are under investigation, and I'm considering an appeal.

I'll pass on the offer to be your ghost writer though.

I'm the living dead, not the desperate dead.;)

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

When the site first started there were no rules as such, so people like for example Kipax, Sparkologist, Mick, myself and several others can honestly say no we didn't read the rules.

This is about the third set of rules since the site began.
The first lot short and sweet disappeared when the site had an update.
The second was cobbled together by Mick and a few others.
The third were put on site after Roy consulted a Solicitor for a general set of rules. this set has grown out of all recognition and poor old Mick seems to have a permanent job just trying to keep them up to date.

Careful whose toes you may be stepping on!

thread wander

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

It's in anything goes, carry on ;)

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

I never read the rules before I join any forum. I tend to read them as and when required.

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Should we have a new rule? No questioning the rules? Or, on questioning the rules, the rulemaker should be consulted, and his answer will be final! (Failing that, just ban people who question the rules.) :eek:

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Same here, Neil.

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

I've actually broke the rules with this poll. I've just glanced at the rules and noticed;

It was nice knowing you all, I'll get me coat :D

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

I'll start a poll to decide how long we think your ban should be.

Who said permenant???

:D

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

I've never read them, but i've never had the need to. If i feel i need to check something then i will do.

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

I had them pointed out to me by mick about 6 months ago ......... in otherwords what rules .......

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

That's when I first read them too.:p

Like you, being a goodie goodie, I'd kept to the rules unwittingly.;):rolleyes::D

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Im not a goodie goodie - im spuggies little angel!!!! :D:D:D

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

a more interesting poll, would be "Who Do Ya Thinks Read Em Most.:D;)

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

If I break the rules i'm sure some kind soul will point me in the right direction. But I am a good girl mainly.

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Not me!!!! :D:D:D

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

It would be a toss up between the butt & Mick.

But Mick only looks at them so often because he's the one that has to alter them after the butt has started a long thread about which rule he wants changing this week.

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

would 'the butt' be an affectionate name for jam butty by any chance?

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Affectionate? Why my dear girl, he and I are almost lovers, he won't let just anyone call him that!

http://planetsmilies.net/obscene-smiley-1015.gif

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

I have to admit that I have noticed your closeness

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Watch out lynne ........ cant wait till jambutty sees this .....:p

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

i know who my money would be on.:hidewall:

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

WINGY was first... I was second , But WINGY cheated :)

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

have to be honest , didn't know they existed until I got into bother for some transgression .
Actually , think they should be in a more prominent postion/easier to find :eek:

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

can,t remember, seems like I say that more and more these days. Now, what was the question?

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Your off the hook this time i have sorted it :D

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

There has been a link to the forum rules in my sig ever since they where put on site

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

I cant vote in this poll as there is nowhere that says "have you read the rules before they where posted on the site"

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

I kinda read them before joining, scanned over them before joining but didnt really take any of it in, have had to look back from time to time since

So yes, I did read them before joining lol

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

I can vote now:D sorted hehe

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

:notworthy:notworthy

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Stop abusing your power, or maybe yourself :eek:

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Maybe we could all suggest some new rules

I will start us off with
No discussing religion?
No one from Darwen allowed except on the 6th Sunday on the month.
The next time someone starts a karma thread everyone else has to take karma from them.

Please add to my list of suggestions :D

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

I was directed to them after a contravention (don't criticise the moderators) but stopped reading when I got to the first one that hadn't been written with due care and attention.

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Rules? arnt rules made to be broken? :D

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

So, you're still criticising a mod/admin?

:rofl38:

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Probably - who knows :confused:

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Roy hasn't read the rules. Haha. :D

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Care to expand on that?

Having just reread them that doesn't seem the case to me.:confused:

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Well theres always 1.:rolleyes: or possibly 2 pmsl.

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

It's this one:
Everything on Accyweb is copyright including what I'm typing now. Everything posted to any forum is copyright. The above rule should read "You cannot post material for which you do not have the permission of the copyright holder, and by posting you indemnify the Accyweb owner and admins from action resulting from a copyright breach" or similar.

The one about nudity made me giggle too. OK so I can see they might know if I'm faking an IP address or using multiple accounts, but how could they possibly know if I'm posting in the buff? Probably not a good idea to test the theory: I'm up at the shop with all the Great Harwood drunks wandering about outside... :blush8:

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

ok studio 25, that being the case, are you in breach of copyright by using garindas post without his permission?:confused:

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Absolutely. Your point?

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

well Studio25 looks like I've just stolen your copyright....please...please take legal action against me to prove I have stolen it, (I could make a few grand here £:thankya:..)......you see it's not actually myself that just wrote this ..It's my Brother!!!!! :D

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

You & Cashy are missing the point.

Everything here is copyright. To have a rule which says "don't post copyright material" is futile.
:bangh8:

Re: Did You Read The Rules ?
 

Try taking the rules as guidelines rather than trying to score points, If I was employed say as a photographer for a wedding, I would pass the copyright over to the person that paid me money to perform a service, rather than keep such a thing to myself, (it is after all their wedding), when people post on accyweb I'm sure they are more interested in people reading and 'enjoying', their contribution than having to worry about someone stealing it and using it elsewhere.

As I say the rules are meant to be a guideline, if we really have to go read and understand everything about the rules before posting then I'm afraid accyweb and other such sites are doomed, (doomed I tell ye!), perhaps you need to back off a little or if you don't like the rules...?
