Inappropriate content

I'm making this thread to save TnT (or any other staff) time from checking what the link is and if it's appropriate.

If you post a lot of links like these, constantly posting it, you are getting into a risk of being banned!


Question and Answer

Q. Why can't we post these links?

Answer (open) Answer (close)

Because, let's say you put a screamer or something else in your link, it's not appropriate for the viewers, make sure to be careful when you post links!

Q. Will we get banned if we post a couple of these links?

Answer (open) Answer (close)

If it's really inappropriate and if you post some more, you have a huge chance of getting your account banned.

Q. I accidentally posted a inappropriate link!

Answer (open) Answer (close)

If you post it once, by accident, go back and edit your post before anyone actually clicks your link, or simply just delete it, if you purposely do it and don't edit out your post or delete it, you might get into trouble

Q. I don't like this rule where we can't post anything we want!

Answer (open) Answer (close)

Rules are rules, that's all I have to say, rules are meant to be rules, don't break them, follow them.

Q. My link was removed by staff and I got a warning, will I get banned?

Answer (open) Answer (close)

Normally, you wont get banned, it's a warning, just don't do it again or constantly spam inappropriate links.

Q. How would I know if something is appropriate with out looking at this thread?

Answer (open) Answer (close)

Think it over, use common sense and what you can to figure out if it's appropriate or inappropriate.

Q. How do I sound funny with out getting a warning or a staff deleting my post?

Answer (open) Answer (close)

I learned this the hard way, you have to stay on topic with the thread, don't post anything not appropriate for the people viewing bukkit.

Q. I saw a inappropriate link, what do I do?

Answer (open) Answer (close)

The first thing you want to do is quote the person telling everyone to not click the link because the content is not appropriate for users, second you want to report the post, then staff will view the post and check the link out, then remove it.

Q. I don't quite fully know why Bit.ly isn't allowed. I like being able to track who's clicking links, etc. (Question asked by MysteryManX)

Answer (open) Answer (close)

It's harder to track where a URL leads to when it's behind a link shortener. It's probably also because it's more consistent (link shorteners are not allowed vs. this and this and this is not allowed, but this is).

Q. I don't fully understand why URL Shorteners are not allowed?

Answer (open) Answer (close)

This is a quote from EvilSeph himself.

Q. Will this rule stay forever? With the URL Shorteners?

Answer (open) Answer (close)

Maybe, most rules stay forever, but this one is a argument-able term sometimes.

If you have any questions, click the spoiler and it will show you most of the question answers, follow the rules, Only TnT accepts the posts and checks the links most of the time, so help him out and don't post anything inappropriate!

Coming back to that question, make sure it's age appropriate too!
