Subject: Rules

I'm just curious why the Septagon doesn't have a rules thread. Not that we necessarily need, and its cool to be set apart from the other forums (though this is hardly the way to do it), but seriously, why?

I know that the Septagon was initially not a forum (as we have forums today), and didn't have the same functionality it did previously, but still. And yes, most of the members who participate in discussions here are mature enough to follow the rules.

Here's all the rules we have for the septagon, seen on the rules thread in The Underground:

The Septagon : The official forum of the 7th Column and our Community. Go here to talk about community stuff, Bungie.net and world domination.


But, this isn't a request for rules, just wanted to know.

Best. Mod. Ever.

Didn't want to clog up the stickies I presume. Its in the Underground which is generally the more popular forum (Thinks of the Halo 3 posters. Shudders).

well, its not really in the underground...just the statement i posted above. Doesn't really specify what is and isn't allowed in the forum. And since every forum has rules, with exception to the Septagon, maybe it should...

General topics are world dommination, rules, When stuff -blam!-s up on bnet, and how to make it better.


So really they are talking that statement literally..and it works.

By the looks of things, doubt they need a Rules sticky.

Cause there is already a page dedicated to the terms of use of this website?

Because people who post here (on-topic) generally don't need the rules as they have been here long enough to know them. I don't often see new users posting in here, it's mostly in Zanzibar and The Underground. Hence the rule breaking in there, and not in here. =)

Most Septagon active members are antiquated and know the Bungie.net rules. However, due to my unusually benevolent nature today, here is a link to the Bungie.net forum rules.

That can't be it. The Shishka thread was stickied for a bit, presumably by frankie.

Perhaps they are implying something by it...

Perhaps they are implying that Septagon people are the cream of the crop and don't need to have the obvious pointed out to us.


hahahhah

-S

We tend to hold this forum to a higher standard. Generally, people here know there's no reason to believe the rules enforced on the rest of the website aren't also enforced here. Consider it an act of trust on our part that we feel we can forgo the standard stickies to make room for other content.

To be fair, most forums shouldn't need rules stickies at all. It's only because of a few rule breakers and people who clearly have no concept to the rules they agree to before becoming a membership that we have these threads.

Fair enough.

I guess there are these two pages after all, which are the universal Bungie.net rules.
