Board Thread:Site Discussions/@comment-5075791-20150219213658

I looked at the current forum rules and adjusted some wording and added parts about closing forums and removing posts. Please look it over and post if you support these forum rules or not:

Have fun!

The Sonic News Network community is happy to have you here. We look forward to seeing you around as we discuss the blue hedgehog we all love.

Be nice and treat people with respect.

People from all around the world read and edit this wiki and its forums. Like any other collaborative project, not everyone will agree all the time. Keep discussions civil and be open minded about differing opinions. We're all here because we love the Sonic series.

Try to find existing discussions first, but don't be afraid to start a new thread.

Please take a moment to sift through the Forum boards to see if a discussion already exists about something you want to talk about. Looking under the Inactive Threads might be helpful. If you can't find what you're looking for, jump right in and start a new discussion!

Ask for help.

Notice something that doesn't seem right? Do you have a question? Ask for help here on the forums! We have a Questions and Answers board and have dozens of users who can help. If you need to contact and admin/mod directly, go to Sonic News Network:Administrators.

Closing Site Discussions

Site Discussions may be closed, after at least 3 days. when:
 * General Consensus is reached under the determination of an Admin or a voting system.
 * No discussion has occurred in 2 months (In most cases, it should be closed as 'No Consensus'; though users are allowed to create a new forum about the topic).

When a Site Discussion is closed, it should be moved to the board 'Closed Site Discussions'.

Closing Forums

Any other forum can be closed when:
 * It breaks any general SNN policy (spam, personal attack, fanon...).
 * It is not related to sonic, the site, or the gaming industry.
 * At the request of user(s) actively on the forum.
 * Several SNN polices are broken during the discussion.
 * The question is answered (for Q&A forums), a problem is solved (for tech. problem forums), or a project is complete (for editing project forums).
 * No discussion is needed (such as an Admin notice).

When a forum is closed, or it has not has discussion in 2 months (with some exceptions), it should be moved to the board 'Inactive Forums'. Users can request for an inactive forum to be moved back to it's original board.

Removing Posts

A post may be removed by a admin/mod when:
 * It breaks any general SNN policy (spam, personal attack, fanon...).
 * It is not productive, or counter-productive, to the discussion at hand (highly forbidden in Site Discussions; sometime referred to as 'Junk Posting').
 * It is an advertisement.
