The ROBLOX Rules

Minor Good Deeds - Official compliment, accumulating too many warnings = cake
  • Posting In The Wrong Section - There's no reason we have forum categories. By posting your political rant in Buildism Discussion, you are helping out our mods by giving them something to do; they don't have lives anyway.
  • "Spamming" - Posting useless replies and threads enhances Buildism's culture and character.
  • Cross Posting - Posting the same message in multiple threads or sections makes sure everyone will see it. Get your words out there, just like the annoying TV advertisers that buy ads on every channel!
  • Bumping - Posting a pointless reply (usually to one of your own threads) to get it to the top of the list is a great way to get attention for the thread.
  • Posting threads that are directed at specific people - PMs were invented by Satan and serve no practical purpose than to annoy you with that blue bar. If you really want to contact someone fast, cross-post the thread too and bump it every 30 seconds!
  • Not following the signature size rule. - http://buildism.net/forum/Thread-New-Sig...=signature Following those rules is just being conformist and sucking up to the mods anyway.
  • Posting only in English is boring. - Post in foreign or computer languages whenever possible. Who cares if nobody but the Kukkiwon people in Eastern Africa can read it, that's why we have Google Translate!
  • Create threads with no discussion value. - Even if your thread has no chance of leading to meaningful discussion, go ahead and post it. The Chaos Thread is just a liberal conspiracy intended to make the forums die.

Moderate Good Deeds - Usually rewarded with a cupcake; repeated good deeds = a big layer cake of your choice.
  • Excessive/Abusive Swearing - The "D, H, and A words" are allowed, but anything more severe than that is better. Self-censoring like **** or @%$# is OK, but that's just a stupid idea invented by overprotective soccer nannies.
  • Online dating - Buildism is the perfect place to make boyfriends and girlfriends. You can even build a virtual wedding chapel in the editor if you'd like!
  • Excessive Flaming/Personal Attacks - If you see a post that's presenting an unpopular opinion or contains logical fallacies, feel free to reply with a witty quote like "I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and crap out a better argument than that." You'll definitely brighten someone's day.
  • Plagiarism - Taking someone else's work and pretending you made it yourself is praised in today's society, and it's a skill that you'll probably need in college and the workplace. Start practicing today.
  • What happens outside Buildism shouldn't stay there. - You can talk about other websites, you can post links to other websites, you can talk about what you and other users are doing on other websites, but if there is a conflict on another site, please fill the forums with threads about it and mass PM the moderators. We can't do anything about it, but we'd enjoy the entertainment.
  • Post threads to complain about warnings or other moderation actions, especially if they are not against yourself. - Everyone loves some good old-fashioned anti-authority drama.
  • Post "I'm leaving" threads. - These threads are almost always used to get attention, get sympathy, or promote a point of view. That makes them a very effective foruming technique, even if you've already left seventeen times!
  • Post lots of links to forum threads, blog posts, videos, and other websites that contain cross-site arguments, trolling, or personal attacks.

Exceptional Good Deeds - Rewarded with a whole pile of cakes in most cases
  • Piracy - Discuss how to illegally obtain games or other media whenever you can. The FBI sucks!
  • Embed and link to shock images, porn, and inappropriate websites - This is the internet, only naggy soccer moms object to all of the inappropriate content you can find here.
  • Use multiple accounts - Creating accounts is a great way to get around bans, or to break rules while keeping your primary account clean. The mods can tell if you do this, and we will reward all of your accounts.
  • Create accounts with proxies. - This is a method that is usually used to bypass IP bans, or for someone to break the rules on an alternate account without having it traced back to their main account. Bans suck, and you don't have to obey them!

Right?
Because if that's not sarcasm, I've been doing my job wrong here.
