There should be an item called permarespellent for admins that they can only use on important threads so the users can't fuck with them.

Maybe you shouldn't try to make the rules unreadable, bub.

Like I couldn't quote to see what the new updates were because the thread is closed and for some reason the speech button refused to work in that thread.

well ok if you agree to take the punishment for everyone who breaks the rules you obscured

they disabled spells on those posts

we have a checkbox to disable spells on posts but it only shows up in the full edit menu (not even the full new thread/post one) so i forgot about it when making most of the update posts.

Welcome to Minus World! We hope you have a good time here, and we're glad to have you. It's best to read these rules first though!

Before we start...
The report system is important. If you find a post that you view as having broken the rules, report it. Many of the rules are in place for the sake of the members, not for the sake of punishing people. While obvious and clear rulebreaks will be acted upon swiftly (such as spamming shock images), if a rulebreak is more subjective or concerns another member (such as an commentary directed at a particular person that could be interpreted multiple ways) it will need members pointing it out for action to be taken. More or less, if you see something you think shouldn't be done on the forum, press that button. The staff will review the case as impartially as we can.

Rules have been a bit of a strange spot in Minus World's past, and it's important to follow them. Remember that getting contacted for having broken a rule is not a punishment -- there's no need to view it in a negative light. It's only upon repeated rulebreaks that action such as a ban may be taken, unless otherwise stated.

Content
This section is to do with the content of your posts.

Host Terms of Service
No content that violates the Linode Terms of Service. This includes stuff detailed below, but redundancy never hurt anyone.

Content Warnings
Certain content should be marked with a spoiler tag obscuring it with a clear descriptor of what's contained within. This includes gore, nudity, sexual imagery, and things that could negatively affect certain posters such as epileptic flashing.

Sexually Explicit Imagery
Can be posted with the above warning tag, but don't go around making threads like "lol watd u fap 2 tonite". It'd best be posted humorously or extremely rarely. You can post it a little more freely if it's your own art you're sharing on the Arts board.

Illegal Content
Anything that is illegal - in the United States - for a website to host, display, or otherwise be involved in, is banned here. (This includes viruses, CP, warez, ROMs, etc.) If you post anything that fits this description, your post will be removed and you could be banned, depending on the content of your post.

Spam
Defining spam is tricky and we used to be pretty strict about it. Nowadays, having a post outright defined as spam is rather hard or situational. In the PPP, Life Chat, Arts & Crafts, and Help! boards, a topic creator may report a post as spam if it is contextless or derails their thread, and it will be dealt with one way or another if the staff agrees upon review. This may include a thread split. If a post is objectively pointless or obviously making a thread hard to read on purpose, it will be regarded as spam.

Attitude
This section deals with how you interact with other people here.

Etiquette
If you’re constantly getting into arguments with people, or insulting them, their posts, or anything else about them, you’re doing something wrong. This is a community forum, so getting along with the community in some capacity should probably be important to you. We may all have our beefs, but sometimes things can go too far. Thus, if you make a post that is meant to provoke or insult someone (This includes stating that they are present on your Ignore List) it will be dealt with if they report it.

Be civil. If you can’t say something without being passive aggressive, insulting, sarcastic or just plain rude, you might want to consider not saying anything at all instead. After all, we may be the Minus World, but nothing but negativity in one's attitude is gonna grate on people eventually.

Discrimination
Racism and discrimination against any group based on their race, sexuality, gender, etc. is prohibited. This includes such things as insults or offensive generalizations based on such factors. This rule does not cover hobbies or interests. We try to be a fair community, and everybody should be welcome here regardless of who they are, so discrimination is something that we're strongly against. This is an encompassing rule, so it's not exclusive to minorities.

As far as slurs go, it's best not to use them. If someone becomes offended by your use of one, it will be dealt with and future offenses will be taken care of in shorter order as well as with less leniency. If an image has slurs, you'll want to mark it as such underneath a spoiler tag. Obviously, usage in an explanatory way (Such as in a discussion about slurs themselves) is okay in all circumstances, so long as you're not clearly trying to bypass this rule to upset someone else in the process.

Special Cases
In the event that someone is constantly skirting the rules and actively bothering enough members that it becomes something the staff is repeatedly contacted about, action may be taken on a case by case basis. No one really wants to do this, but it can be necessary in some situations.

Technicalities
Some little extra things that are sometimes quite important.

● On Dupe use - If you break a rule with a Dupe, your parent account will receive the punishment. This should be obvious, but it's worth stating.
● 18+ - A lot of content posted on Minus World could be considered adult, be it a sexually charged joke or an outright NSFW image. While we can't enforce a strict 18+ rule, use your own discretion. If that sort of thing doesn't float your boat or makes you uncomfortable, you may not want to hang around here too long.
● Don't share accounts - this is sort of the opposite of the previous note, but it's worth pointing out. An account represents an individual, don't share accounts.
● Let us know if you're going to be sharing an IP address with somebody else - otherwise we'll think you're duping.
● No proxies - spammers and dupers use proxies, so we ban them on sight. If you need to use a proxy (hello China) then let us know beforehand, we might be okay with it, we might not.
● You're responsible for your own account - if your little sister gets on your account and comes on and starts spamming the forum, we'll warn/ban your account. No matter how anime she is.
● Mass Embeds - Please try to avoid filling topics with a large number of embeds (such as YouTube videos). If you notice a large amount of embeds already in the topic you should make your post be a link to the content instead. You won't get banned for continuing to embed but your post may be edited. Multiple embeds on one page can really drag performance down, so this is all about making browsing better for everyone.
● Imgur - Do not use imgur for your avatar/signature hosting, as stated by their ToS.
● Jokes - If you say something that offends another member as a joke or claim it is a joke, action still may be taken depending on the case and what that member thinks.
● Don't Use Minus World At Work - Well, at least not without knowing what you're in for. Considering the sort of content that gets posted around here, the nature of Good Sh*t, and the possibility of videos containing vocal swears and whatnot, it's best if you just didn't browse in such an environment. If you are doing so it's likely you're prepared anyways.
● On fake Minus Balls - It's pretty clever and funny to trick people by using a Minus Ball rehost or editing it into your avatar or something, but please don't directly link the actual file for it from the server so that no one can potentially block it. Item drops are meant to be a fun experience and while people can get a kick out of being messed with once or twice, being unable to do anything about it and constantly second guessing if a drop is actually real or not would just ruin the potential excitement very quickly. If someone were to block the real deal due to it being used as a prank and not realize it they would also be screwed out of ever getting item drops again, and that's outright unacceptable.
●Post deletion discretion - Post deletion is an option available to users for a purpose -- getting rid of a post they regretted making for one reason or another. Don't use it for editing posts, we already have a function for that.

The point of these forums is enjoyment for everyone involved, so it's best to avoid drama and other things that'll just bring others down. Have fun, and post some good shit!

Ah.

i could give you your ex back

it did remind me that spell alerts are still broken though

The myalerts dev hasn't had much time to look into it

Someone else on github says they're going to be installing myalerts on their own forum with ajax capabilities, so they'll probably start with ours as a base and fix our issue while they're at it

I'd prefer to be able to obscure the rules into unreadability

The point of these forums is enjoyment for everyone involved, so it's best to avoid drama and other things that'll just bring others down. Have fun, and post some good shit!

Welcome to Minus World! We hope you have a good time here, and we're glad to have you. It's best to read these rules first though!

Before we start...
The report system is important. If you find a post that you view as having broken the rules, report it. Many of the rules are in place for the sake of the members, not for the sake of punishing people. While obvious and clear rulebreaks will be acted upon swiftly (such as spamming shock images), if a rulebreak is more subjective or concerns another member (such as an commentary directed at a particular person that could be interpreted multiple ways) it will need members pointing it out for action to be taken. More or less, if you see something you think shouldn't be done on the forum, press that button. The staff will review the case as impartially as we can.

Rules have been a bit of a strange spot in Minus World's past, and it's important to follow them. Remember that getting contacted for having broken a rule is not a punishment -- there's no need to view it in a negative light. It's only upon repeated rulebreaks that action such as a ban may be taken, unless otherwise stated.

Content
This section is to do with the content of your posts.

Host Terms of Service
No content that violates the Linode Terms of Service. This includes stuff detailed below, but redundancy never hurt anyone.

Content Warnings
Certain content should be marked with a spoiler tag obscuring it with a clear descriptor of what's contained within. This includes gore, nudity, sexual imagery, and things that could negatively affect certain posters such as epileptic flashing.

Sexually Explicit Imagery
Can be posted with the above warning tag, but don't go around making threads like "lol watd u fap 2 tonite". It'd best be posted humorously or extremely rarely. You can post it a little more freely if it's your own art you're sharing on the Arts board.

Illegal Content
Anything that is illegal - in the United States - for a website to host, display, or otherwise be involved in, is banned here. (This includes viruses, CP, warez, ROMs, etc.) If you post anything that fits this description, your post will be removed and you could be banned, depending on the content of your post.

Spam
Defining spam is tricky and we used to be pretty strict about it. Nowadays, having a post outright defined as spam is rather hard or situational. In the PPP, Life Chat, Arts & Crafts, and Help! boards, a topic creator may report a post as spam if it is contextless or derails their thread, and it will be dealt with one way or another if the staff agrees upon review. This may include a thread split. If a post is objectively pointless or obviously making a thread hard to read on purpose, it will be regarded as spam.

Attitude
This section deals with how you interact with other people here.

Etiquette
If you’re constantly getting into arguments with people, or insulting them, their posts, or anything else about them, you’re doing something wrong. This is a community forum, so getting along with the community in some capacity should probably be important to you. We may all have our beefs, but sometimes things can go too far. Thus, if you make a post that is meant to provoke or insult someone (This includes stating that they are present on your Ignore List) it will be dealt with if they report it.

Be civil. If you can’t say something without being passive aggressive, insulting, sarcastic or just plain rude, you might want to consider not saying anything at all instead. After all, we may be the Minus World, but nothing but negativity in one's attitude is gonna grate on people eventually.

Discrimination
Racism and discrimination against any group based on their race, sexuality, gender, etc. is prohibited. This includes such things as insults or offensive generalizations based on such factors. This rule does not cover hobbies or interests. We try to be a fair community, and everybody should be welcome here regardless of who they are, so discrimination is something that we're strongly against. This is an encompassing rule, so it's not exclusive to minorities.

As far as slurs go, it's best not to use them. If someone becomes offended by your use of one, it will be dealt with and future offenses will be taken care of in shorter order as well as with less leniency. If an image has slurs, you'll want to mark it as such underneath a spoiler tag. Obviously, usage in an explanatory way (Such as in a discussion about slurs themselves) is okay in all circumstances, so long as you're not clearly trying to bypass this rule to upset someone else in the process.

Special Cases
In the event that someone is constantly skirting the rules and actively bothering enough members that it becomes something the staff is repeatedly contacted about, action may be taken on a case by case basis. No one really wants to do this, but it can be necessary in some situations.

Technicalities
Some little extra things that are sometimes quite important.

● On Dupe use - If you break a rule with a Dupe, your parent account will receive the punishment. This should be obvious, but it's worth stating.
● 18+ - A lot of content posted on Minus World could be considered adult, be it a sexually charged joke or an outright NSFW image. While we can't enforce a strict 18+ rule, use your own discretion. If that sort of thing doesn't float your boat or makes you uncomfortable, you may not want to hang around here too long.
● Don't share accounts - this is sort of the opposite of the previous note, but it's worth pointing out. An account represents an individual, don't share accounts.
● Let us know if you're going to be sharing an IP address with somebody else - otherwise we'll think you're duping.
● No proxies - spammers and dupers use proxies, so we ban them on sight. If you need to use a proxy (hello China) then let us know beforehand, we might be okay with it, we might not.
● You're responsible for your own account - if your little sister gets on your account and comes on and starts spamming the forum, we'll warn/ban your account. No matter how anime she is.
● Mass Embeds - Please try to avoid filling topics with a large number of embeds (such as YouTube videos). If you notice a large amount of embeds already in the topic you should make your post be a link to the content instead. You won't get banned for continuing to embed but your post may be edited. Multiple embeds on one page can really drag performance down, so this is all about making browsing better for everyone.
● Imgur - Do not use imgur for your avatar/signature hosting, as stated by their ToS.
● Jokes - If you say something that offends another member as a joke or claim it is a joke, action still may be taken depending on the case and what that member thinks.
● Don't Use Minus World At Work - Well, at least not without knowing what you're in for. Considering the sort of content that gets posted around here, the nature of Good Sh*t, and the possibility of videos containing vocal swears and whatnot, it's best if you just didn't browse in such an environment. If you are doing so it's likely you're prepared anyways.
● On fake Minus Balls - It's pretty clever and funny to trick people by using a Minus Ball rehost or editing it into your avatar or something, but please don't directly link the actual file for it from the server so that no one can potentially block it. Item drops are meant to be a fun experience and while people can get a kick out of being messed with once or twice, being unable to do anything about it and constantly second guessing if a drop is actually real or not would just ruin the potential excitement very quickly. If someone were to block the real deal due to it being used as a prank and not realize it they would also be screwed out of ever getting item drops again, and that's outright unacceptable.
●Post deletion discretion - Post deletion is an option available to users for a purpose -- getting rid of a post they regretted making for one reason or another. Don't use it for editing posts, we already have a function for that.

You just made me realize that the new ajax confirm popup doesn't calculate the actual cost of the spell
