BALG RULES - Please read them!

[Borgy]

Thanks @Lady_Eva. Everyone must feel save here on his forum. Personal attacks caused some people to quit BALG unfortunately. I hope these rules will prevent this in the future.

Stay save and take care.

I am bumping this and request all members, old and new, pay CLOSE attention:

✦ As a seemingly necessary clarification of the above points, working threads are not to be treated as referendums, nor invitations to comment on whether you personally approve of the OP’s desires, intentions, personality, or anything else. This means don’t derail these threads by stating your disapproval of the OP’s stated goal, nor by nit-picking, insults, or mockery.

These comments will be deleted without notice, making a habit of this behaviour will result in a ban. If you feel someone has posted a working thread that clearly breaks the forum rules, flag it, or PM a moderator

This is not a joke and making a new topic to moralise about another person or group’s planned working is NOT acceptable.

A looooong time ago there was a certain thread that got way off topic.

A member got into a heated argument and well after all parties were finished with the thread, the rest of us hopped on a derailed the thread so bad that several minor gods were called upon to undo the damage we had done to the collective psyche of the fourm.

We called it the, “Dead Horse Saloon” as we repeatedly beat dead horse after dead horse.

That thread is lost to time now. I have it on good authority that not even Yog Sathoth can find it now.

Yog-Sothoth can’t get to it? That’s saying something.

After several different conversations recently, it seems necessary to draw a line in the sand, and point out that there is no metaphysical exemption to these rules.

This means that your belief that any spirit, up to and including “God,” requires you to act in a manner which breaks forum rules, will not grant you a free pass to do so, period. This forum has always been pretty tolerant of one-off wig-outs under the influence of anything, and will continue to be as far as is possible, I am talking about a more sustained pattern of intentional behaviour.

• In addition to this, comments implying members/moderators/admins will incur any spirit’s displeasure by not permitting the behaviour in question will from this point forward be treated as threats - for which, see the first post in this topic.

I am addressing this openly here so there is no remaining uncertainty that may lead to subsequent offence being taken, and in hopes of saving time and effort all round.

This week things reached the point where, unfortunately, common sense is no longer enough to prevent people attempting to abuse this forum and run deceptive practices in order to acquire followers on their Discord groups.

★ For this reason, external groups, “Orders,” and communities are now in the same status as commercial endeavours and political interests/working groups.

This means you MAY place links to your groups, “Orders,” and external communities in your forum profile, but you may NOT post those links or promotional material on the forum, or initiate a PM to try and recruit people. This applies as of 25th March 2019.

Be aware that BALG Discord groups do not exist – please see this link for information about that.

If you run a group already, aside from the small number of members who have received warnings by PM about this earlier this week, you are not affected, however anyone promoting their group, Discord, or “Order” on the forum past today (25th March 2018) by posting links or promotional material, or sending PMs to people, will be treated as spamming the forum and handled accordingly.

Not sure if my question below has already been asked. Please forgive me if it has, I haven’t read through all the replies in the thread.

If I may impose a question, what are the rules for posting YouTube links, when one would like to share an interesting find; more specifically something related to BALG and related authors?

Thank you all for your time.

[DarkestKnight]

YouTube links are fine.
