Funny thing is that those rules are universal... simply called "good manners". If you read rules like that on one forum you automatically will know how to behave on another. Some sections have specific rules but as long as you following "good manners" then chances are low that you will break any rule.
Well... we didn't have the "like" button when I started here, and on other forums without it a "thank you" post is often appreciated.
We don't have rules on (what is commonly known as) "cross-threading", (duplicating the same basic message or asking the same question in several threads) and that's been done here, frustratingly, recently. I know some forums which will insta-ban when anyone commits such a crime. XD
Different forums or other internet communities have different regulations on links and attachments, and ours have changed a few times. (as we changed hosts or upgraded vBulletin)
I would still say "always read the fine print". The absolute universal netiquette is to always check pinned topics for local convention. IMHO (I always try to before I post anywhere)
Now realistically speaking you know that nobody reads the rules.
And netiquette is too long for someone who's not going to read rules anyway.
It's like christains and 10 commandments, most of them know rules +/- they would not tell you them (mainstream not zealots) in order or they would name 3-4 of them but most of them simply don't care about them, they trying to follow "golden rule" (do not do to others what you would not like yourself), if forum you can translate it to "do not write things you would not like to read yourself".
I think that there is no forum that allows you to post before you search if your question was not answered.
Even 4chan on /g/ have rule like that:
Support threads are allowed, but discouraged. Please consult a search engine before making such threads.
Despite those facts I do think that reading rules is important.
But it's not bad to "bend" rules here and there just a little, for some LuLz ofc ;)
10 commandmentsIn any case, netiquette just is. You learn it as you learn to share toys and play nice. Every community has rules, and I know forums which insist you quote the whole of the previous posters comment before replying to evidence how it was written at the time you wrote your response. I know companies which insist upon it in all internal eMail correspondence too. I know places where they insist you do not link to files hosted elsewhere and only ever attach, or the opposite.Spoiler:
I personally try to read such documents before joining a community on-line, and it bugs the hell out of me when people don't let you read the rules before signing up. :grr: I do not understand why anyone would not want to read rules. But I don't understand why people don't read, or at least skim, a license before installing software either. Though I must admit, I do not read the license when installing software for someone else.

I think its sick to sell your daughter like in (Exodus 21:7)
Too bad that all mighty all loving all powerful god forgot to upgrade commandment nr 5 to version 1.1 (Honor your father and your mother and your children).
I just can't kill those who work on Sabbath (Exodus 35:2).
It such a relief that I don't have to do those horible things any more :)
I think it's same thing with forum rules, pplz cherry picking rules they like.
I have feeling that this move is going to rox my socks off :)
God Bless America - Official Trailer [HD] - YouTube
this is just commom sense:
- Honor your father and your mother.
- You shall not murder.
- You shall not commit adultery.
- You shall not steal.
You dont do it because its wrong, not because dumbledore said it lol

@Sheen: Well, I don't believe that people in the Western world do honour their parents. Many will dishonour them to the extent of taking their own lives in their teens, but most of us are selfish and lazy. Washing machines, vacuum cleaners, dishwashers and super-markets encourage us to be so. We don't want to care for our parents in their old age, take on the mantle of their career, or be limited to their title. We want lives of our own. As Vormav says, it should also say "and your children" because as parents we also leave a trail of shite for future generations to clean up. How are you supposed to honour such "parents"?
I define murder as one or more human beings conspiring to end the life of another. Many nations implement the death penalty for criminal offences, wage wars and encourage the use of lethal force among their police. I consider all these acts "murder". But they are "socially acceptable" to people far more "religious" than I.
I know married couples, some church goers, who attribute the success of their marriage to "swinging" or "open relationships". Christians and Muslims have (at times) flirted with the idea of polygamy. This, is adultery, by the contract of the ten commandments.
True communists would not accept God, or Stealing to exist. Complete communism dictates that personal ownership is illegal. Theft is impossible, unless you steal from the state, because everything belongs to the state and the people. Nothing belongs to any one person. (It's actually not that different from monarchy, where everything belongs to the crown, your regent can re-allocate anything you consider to belong to your self any time they choose, and resistance to that re-allocation is high treason)
So, those things are not common sense, to the extent that many people would fervently disagree with one or other of them. Both in antiquary, and today. Despite the time past since those "laws" where first written, and despite the proclaimed faith of those people who may disagree with them.

@Vormav: You quote Exodus, which is the old testament. You may think this is a good example, because it is common to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. (not to mention Rastafarianism, Zoroastrianism, Satanism† and a whole host of others) In fact, it is not ideal because the only reason most Christians leave such verse in the old testament is to illustrate the misunderstanding between man and God before the coming of their "Messiah". Satanist would read the bible as a book of evil, depicting the wrong that God has wrought upon existence. So your words are supporting the principals of that faith rather than dispelling the notion of faith all-together. :wink:Spoiler:

Imagine you made one thing wrong... instant hell, just because you got his words wrong.
But I get your point, pplz prefer new testament, I would say it's way better but still:
Revelation 2:22-23
New International Version (NIV)
22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. 23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.
We already know that god is very vicious from old testament and he "punish children for their parents' sins to the third and fourth generation"
Still same god but in new testament. Less vicious because he is no longer based on Ares.
Mark 3:28-29
New International Version (NIV)
28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”
Most immoral thing I ever heard. So you can rape, murder and steal but if you accept Jesus before you die you will spend eternal life in heaven... no comment needed.
Luke 12:51-53
New International Version (NIV)
51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
Don't worry Jesus I never thought about you as positive character :)
Psalm 137:9
New International Version (NIV)
9 Happy is the one who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks.
I can continue this but I think that I made my point =P
If god of the bible exists than he is some kind of loving psychopath. Fortunately there is not slightest evidence that we are living in universe ruled by invisible monster yahweh.
Religion is just by-product of evolution. Look at this square:

...did I said square? But there is no square there... in same way you can define god :)
