Blanking refers to when a user edits an old post and deletes all the text from it. Since users can't actually delete their own posts in most cases, this is what some people do instead.

I've been moving some of your bumps to the Gallery of Useless Bumps. I would like to request that you stop doing that (most of yours are requests for reuploads and we have a thread for that), but I don't consider it worth putting a permanent warning on your account.

Thanks, though being the total jackass that I am, I didn't even read the rules until I bumped 3 - 4 (I think) dead threads.

Finally found this again; been meaning to read it over. Sucks being new, but it's an adventure, with this being my weapon of choice.
Hoping that this doesn't count as a bump. T'would be a bummer to get warned immediately after reading the rules.

I think stickied threads are more lenient towards "bumping", especially since they're not actually bumped.

As a matter of interest, how precisely does one manage to lose the Rules thread? =P

argh stop bumpign this i thouhgt there were updates!!
Right, you don't really "bump" stickies or announcements, other than moving them up the sticky stack. But it flags them with unread posts and might make them more noticeable for a while, so it might even be a good thing.

I tend to be a dunce, and forget where things are. Still coming out of my teenage idiocy.

Well I'm glad I managed to accidentally do something possibly useful.

I have updated the rules again for even more readability and better organization. Some rules were merged, some were simplified, and in general it should be much, much easier to glance over them.

New year, new rule updates. Check near the top for the new section about how you are now allowed to post NSFW/18+ content...within reason. Read the rules, though. Seriously. Don't want to have someone get warned or banned.

You have BBCode at your disposal, dude. I cleaned up some of the writing for you. Adopt that into the main post if you will.
[b]The below is fine as is:[/b]
[list][*]Gore, by itself. (Typical Doom stuff, in other words.)
[*]"Real" gore from photographs of people who have specifically given permission for them to be shared. (The famous Kevin Cloud knee injury texture, in other words.)[/list]
[b]The below should be tagged as "NSFW/18+"[/b]
[list][*]Tasteful nudity, by itself. (Exposed breasts and/or genitalia with no sexual purpose. No, this does not make dick pics legal.)
[*]Nudity combined with gore, with no sexual or "guro" purpose behind it. (Borderline case - certain mods contain monster designs based on the female form, this is here to allow those)[/list]
[b]Ick factor barrier - everything below this line is strictly against the rules:[/b]
[list][*]Erect male genitalia. (Borderline case - I'm aware that Alien mods are popular, and many H. R. Giger designs contain images based on those; those are allowed, but actual erections have no place here, so no dick pics please.)
[*]"Real" gore derived from photographs of dead people. (The implication is that they did NOT give permission to use them.)
[*]Depictions of sex acts, especially hardcore pornography.
[*]Any sexual violence whatsoever. I'm going by Australian rules here: no rape, no wife-battering, and no "anal probe" weapons, because that's just gross. While we're at it, no more "buttrape!" jokes. That goes double for Terry wads.[/list]

To be fair, it was a lazy copy-paste from the other thread. Will fix in a second.
