The HCMF.com community experience is more pleasant when a few guidelines are followed.
Here are some vital ones to remember:
-
An unfortunate reality with popular message board systems is we must enforce more stringent guidelines to avoid complete anarchy, no matter how alluring we may find the idea of total chaos. We all hate it but such is life.
-
Publicly stating in a message that one is leaving the community for good will result in a ban. Because such individuals will not be needing to access the forums ever again this should hardly seem a penalty, but this is to thwart all the pathetic attention whores out there.
-
Free speech? Sorry, but our community exists in a parallel universe where totalitarianism
is the only form of government. Care to join us?
-
Complaining about the application of bans in general is unwise. Remonstration with regard to the Goblins lack of fairness when banning someone will result in an additional ban, so that both the complainant and the individual for whom he complains may share in the experience and commiserate together in their bannage.
-
Those asking "Why was that nuked?" or "Why was <user> banned?"
will be magically whisked away to experience Chernobyl in all of it's breathtaking grandeur. Vacation features include a lengthy personal tour inside the containment wall housing the remnants of the reactor. If you have a question about the moderation please email a Goblin ( goblins @ hcmf.com ) .
-
"I would post something, but it would get me banned/break the guidelines" messages will be nuked.
-
Those attempting to circumvent any rule in a way that is remarkably clever and witty will win for themselves a fully immersive fusion bath for some deep down cleansing. Here's a helpful hint, we stand by the spirit of the law, not the letter.
-
Mocking the guidelines, especially those of the evil variety is the opposite of a good idea and will result in an up close and personal, live demonstration on the damaging effects of nearby nuclear fusion.
-
Those intentionally demonstrating obnoxious or annoying behavior will suffer severe radiological contamination. Believe me, we can tell, and we'll not hesitate to smite thee.
-
Those blatantly trolling by posting inflammatory messages intended to incite conflicts or arguments will be introduced to another kind of inflammation occurring in organs and other soft tissues. Yes this is subjective, please try to find a small place in your heart to cope with it.
-
Being an asshole for sport will result in massive exposure to gamma radiation,
so don't forget sunglasses and sun-screen!
-
Complaints about being nuked will be nuked, so have your lead shield handy.
All complaints should be sent privately via email to (smiles @ hcmf.com).
-
The Goblins reserve the right to administer lethal doses of radiation on sight to those they deem as unfit for our community.
-
Information that is intended to be private will be nuked.
-
We are strong proponents of nuclear proliferation and so sometimes we nuke stuff just for fun, it's nothing personal. There is just something about a mushroom cloud billowing up that to us is somehow deeply satisfying.
-
Sometimes the Goblins even nuke each other, but that's just on odd days when they're not preoccupied with usual clandestine Goblin operations.
-
Before rushing off to systematically break each of the evil guidelines, please understand that no one endorses them...at least not officially. These evil guidelines are only invoked when they most conveniently serve our nefarious purposes.
If you abide by this yoke you will always be the opposite of unwelcome in our community.
Persistent and/or flagrant violators will have their accounts banned/terminated without notice.
