When I read the rules, I see many rules have words like Hippo licking or "put to death", what is that? what are the various words in there that don't mean what they usually mean? remember, please post all words and "translate" them.

Just skimming through the rules...

No petitions.

Do not link to adult content or to sites that contain information on any type of software piracy.

Impersonating forum moderators and/or bungie employees is strictly prohibited. Do not break this rule. You will be banned. No warning will be issued.

No bad jokes.

Do not link to ‘brain stealing’ text games or any other text games of any sort. If you have such a link put it in your signature.


I honestly can't see how anyone can't understand that. In fact, the rest of it's extremely straight-forward. I'm sure you can work out the metaphors yourself, also.

I'm pretty sure Bungie relies on sharp sophisticated humor to seperate them from the other game studios... So if you can't understand them...

Well, no better time to start then now right? ;)

Well, how am I supposed to understand the metaphors, I understand the rules completely, apart from the metaphors.

Those are serious metaphors. Just know that ninjas are deadly.

"Whatever exists, whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent. These anonymous creatures may seem little or nothing in the world. Yet the smallest crumb can devour us. Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth."

I don't see any problem. The rules themselves are clear as crystal. The punishments are not really important (unless you plan on breaking the rule), and can be a bit odd, but as long as you read the first sentence for each rule, you pretty much understand the rules.

See? That there is why I can't understand some of the things on the rules, Use normal words for gods sake! Wtf is death? Is it perma banning? wtf is Hippo licking? Jesus Christ, I'm asking my question in its simplest form.

Wtf is death? Is it perma banning?

Well it's not defined in the WA Criminal Code, but case law suggests that for legal purposes, death occurs when two medical practitioners agree that all brain stem function has irreversably ceased. This definition also seems to be adopted by the Human Tissue and Transplant Act.

Anyway, there is no proper answer anyone can give you to your stupid questions. The rules just tell you what you aren't allowed to do on the forums. Any punishment suggested in them is a joke, put there simply for your enjoyment. The moderators aren't required to give you any stipulated punishment for a certain rule breaking. If you call someone a "noob", you might get anything from a warning to a permanent ban, depending on the circumstances. "Put to death" just means "you're a -blam!- tool if you do this and I wish I could literally kill you."

Why do you even want to know what the exact punishments are? Are you trying to figure out what you can get away with on the forums without getting a permanent ban? For goodness' sake, get a freaking life.

Did anyone mention not to spam?

If you really want to understand the rules, just read what makes sense, then ask about any specific parts if needs must.

Jesus Christ, I ask one simple question, and I'm called a no life loser who can't figure out anything. (you implied it)

Also, the reason why i asked is because the thought just kept bugging me. I mean, if you were in my position, would YOU ask?
