A suggestion or rather an offer....

I was wondering if I(or some admin) could actually set more indepth rules for the forum. Obviously in the past brohoof was smaller, so joking threads like those mentioned above could be loved and tolerated. With the way we are growing now, the forums are only going to get worse.
I'm not saying we make rules that say people can't say certain things(like saying MLP sucks, although that would fall under trolling regardless) but basic guidelines that tell people to stay relevant to a thread or at least semi-relevant. Like a topic without an actual point or just a copy of another thread shouldn't be recurring as often as it is.
The admins do a lot for the server, so it shouldn't be their responsibility to parent the forum as well. We aren't a forum based community, but still is a large asset to our server.
Well that's my rant, I posted this in here because of the drama aspect. Feel free to comment, correct, or add opinion.
tl;dr I wish to write, help write, or ask an admin to write official guidelines for the forum.

Those kids who step too far out of line usually get dealt with.
(Drama thread might not be the right place for this, man.)
I'm pretty sure "don't be an idiot" is pretty high on Ratty's rule list.

Not everyone who posts irrelevantly is an idiot or dumb, but just are trying to be funny(a little too hard sometimes).
Even if it were just a little announcement about trying to keep on topic that would be fine. It's just that sometimes things are taken too far, and it is getting to the point where there is a very thin line to cross.
And I'm sorry if this would be the wrong forum to post this in, I figured this would most likely go here or off topic.

If you are going to post under this forum or in this thread. Post something constructive for once.

For now I'd rather it just be if a thread starts out as nonsense, then by all means be retarded there. But if someone starts a decent conversation on something, don't insult everyone by putting absolute garbage in it.

The only thing I can see from it is windows and deathfire starting their race again. Pain I have to agree that a lot of threads are being derailed, I'm watching for it now and correcting when I see it. some threads however just seem like they wernt ment to be serious and the person wants them to be derailed.I like the sound of a shenanigins forum.

Eh in fairness its not like their race is hurting anyone, except maybe our brains, and its not like gaining more posts than ratty wont give then access to weapons of mass destruction or anything.
I hope...
It's not so much the fact that they hurting anyone, rather than it being more of an issue of just being courteous to your fellow Minecrafters on here. When you post in here you are not only representing yourself and Brohoof, but bronies in general. It's like having 1x1 towers spread out through out the server. Looks bad, draws attention, and easy to clean up but annoying in numbers.
Even if we are all here to relax, build, and meet fellow bronies, it doesn't mean that we can't keep a little order on and off the server. With derailing posts, people sometimes neglect to read the first post and assume that is what the thread is about. Hence derailing.
The internet shouldn't be a serious, rule ridden place. But that doesn't mean we can't have standards.
It's funny when you post an offbeat joke once in a while, but unless each joke is better than the last, you just end up looking like an ass who can't read what a thread really is about.

I'm going to go ahead and say that this post pretty much sums up everything I had to say on the subject. Good show, sir.
